We started Maats in 2017 and soon after our opening we released the first Amsterdam cycling jersey. This jersey is an ode to the city of Amsterdam and was an instant classic. You can no longer cycle around the Amsterdam region without coming across a Maats XXX jersey. But you can also see this jersey more and more far outside the capital.

Despite the fact that this cycling jersey has been part of our collection for a long time, we continue to develop this jersey and make a number of improvements every season.

This women’s jersey has a sporty fit (not an extreme race fit) and the sizing is in line with the Northern European sizing.

• Made of elastic and moisture-wicking material
• Featuring Amsterdam’s iconic Andreas crosses (one on the chest and two on the back)
• Elastic band with gripper
• Three large pockets where you can store a lot of stuff for the longer rides
• Waterproof bag for your valuables
• Soft zipper protector on the inside of the jersey
• Maats logo on the left sleeve
• Designed in Amsterdam, produced in the EU.

Saturday March 25th, Maats Utrecht

After a successful first edition last November, the Maats Checkpoint Challenge is back for its second instalment. We've found another 10 amazing checkpoints that will take you in a new direction from our Utrecht store.

This challenge (or race for some) is all about planning, route skills and teamwork. There’s no route, just 10 checkpoints (CPs) that are worth a visit for you and your teammate. You connect these checkpoints to create your own route.

Two out of ten CPs are mandatory, the other eight are optional. So it’s up to you to decide how long your route will be. If you want to check off all CPs, expect to ride approximately 200km. The shortest route along the mandatory CPs will be around 100km.

We will draw up a classification at the finish. The team that checks off all checkpoints and does so in the shortest amount of time wins the challenge.

Are you up for the challenge? Team up & and join us on Saturday March 25th in Utrecht.

Event Details

• 9:00 gathering at Maats Utrecht, Twijnstraat, for coffee and ride briefing, start at 9:30
• Max 30 teams of two

• At one of the mandatory CPs there will be food and drinks, but bring enough yourself for during the ride

• We’ll share the CPs a few days before the event so you can start planning your route in advance

Maats is much more than a cycling clothing store. Maats is a club. The only club where you don't have to be a member but where you are always welcome. Whether you've been cycling for years or are just starting out, cover 10k a year or at most 500, cross all of Europe or don't get further than the ‘Ronde Hoep’ (local loop in Amsterdam), we don't care.

Dit is de nieuwste versie van de Maats wielerbroek. We hebben gekozen voor een volledig zwarte bib met een hoogwaardige zeem. Daarnaast is het Maats-logo op de broek geplaatst door middel van een transfer in plaats van een print. Hierdoor heeft de complete broek dezelfde elegante zwarte kleur met een klein en subtiel zwart Maats-logo op beide zijkanten.

Kenmerken Wielerbroek

• Gemaakt van hoogwaardige Lycra
• Microperforaties zorgen voor een groter ademend oppervlak zodat vocht snel kan worden afgevoerd. 
• Optimaal draaggemak, goede compressie en spierondersteuning 
• Zeem met zachte toplaag verlaagt de kans op wrijving en schuren
• De zeem biedt goede steun en comfort
• Zeer geschikt voor langere ritten
• Perfect te combineren met verschillende stijlen wielershirts
  

Perfecte wielerbroek

De Maats wielerbroek is ontworpen om het gehele wielerseizoen te dragen. De broek heeft weinig compressie maar is ook comfortabel genoeg voor langere ritjes. Dit komt met name door het gebruik van de hoogwaardige zeem. De broek is geheel zwart en bedrukt met het Maats logo.
