Apex Aeon Jersey: lightweight short-sleeved jersey for warm-weather rides
The Apex Aeon jersey is designed for intense rides in warmer conditions. Maap has opted for Polartec Delta, a fabric designed to wick away moisture and promote evaporation. The short-sleeved jersey has a sporty yet not overly tight fit. It is therefore aimed primarily at cyclists looking for a breathable jersey with a close fit for long rides. The price is 185 euros >> available here.
Apex Aeon LS Jersey: long sleeves for changing temperatures
The Apex Aeon LS Jersey adopts the same approach in a long-sleeved version. Here too, Maap uses Polartec Delta to aid moisture-wicking and heat dissipation during prolonged periods of exertion. The jersey is therefore better suited to dry, changeable weather than to cold winter temperatures. For those who want to start out in the morning wearing arm warmers but would like to do without them later on, this long-sleeved jersey offers a fully covered alternative. It costs 210 euros >> available here*.
Apex Aeon Thermal LS Jersey: the warmer version
The Apex Aeon Thermal LS Jersey is designed for cooler autumn and winter days. According to Maap, the inside is made of brushed fleece, which is designed to retain heat whilst regulating body temperature. A water-repellent coating provides additional protection against light drizzle and wet roads, but is no substitute for a rain jacket. At 225 euros, the thermal jersey is the warmest jersey option in the range >> available here.
Apex Aeon Bib Shorts: Pad and storage for long days
The Apex Aeon Bib Shorts are designed for long distances. Maap has incorporated a denser, three-dimensionally moulded chamois, flat seams to prevent chafing and integrated leg cuffs. Two concealed pockets on the back of the straps provide extra storage space for snacks or a lightweight vest. Weighing 180 grams in size M, these shorts aren’t among the lightest racing shorts, but they prioritise support and comfort during long rides. Price: 265 euros >> available here.
The new colour range thus complements an already established endurance range. The key factor in choosing the right garment remains the intended use: short- and long-sleeved jerseys for mild days, the thermal jersey for cooler conditions, and bib shorts for long training rides and tours.
