MAAP
The MAAP Aere Down Jacket is an ultralight insulated jacket designed to deliver exceptional warmth with minimal weight beyond the bike. Its hybrid construction combines a protective Pertex Quantum shell with high-fill-power RDS goose down, strategically placed PrimaLoft® Gold insulation and Polartec® Alpha Direct panels for a balance of thermal retention, weather protection and breathability.
The recycled nylon Pertex Quantum shell provides lightweight wind and weather resistance, supported by a PFC-Free DWR finish for protection against road spray and brief rain exposure. Hybrid insulation zoning places PrimaLoft® Gold where additional warmth is needed, while Polartec® Alpha Direct underarm panels improve active breathability and help release excess heat.
Despite its high level of insulation, the Aere Down Jacket maintains an ultralight construction at 340 grams, making it a versatile outer layer for cold and windy conditions and everyday use away from the bike.

Alba Optics
The ABR1 Pocket Bib Shorts are made for the longest days on the bike. Albion developed them with ultra-distance riders, and they've been ridden to wins and record times on the Tour Divide, the Atlas Mountain Race and the Highland Trail 550. If your rides are measured in hours rather than kilometres, start here.
Two mesh leg pockets and a rear side-entry pocket let you carry a phone, gels or a wind jacket without touching your jersey pockets. That's handy on gravel and bikepacking trips, and just as useful on a long road day. Everything stays reachable while you ride.
The Albion x Elastic Interface chamois is built for long hours in the saddle. The 2025 update adds a higher gauge main fabric for more compression and polypropylene-knit straps that move moisture away faster. A hidden Rear Guard panel above the pad makes the shorts last longer.
An on-bike fit that runs true to size, with a reduced number of panels and flatlock seams. Our studio model is 180 cm (chest 91 cm, inner leg 80 cm) and wears size S. Want to compare them with your current bibs? Try them on in one of our stores in Amsterdam, Utrecht or Rotterdam.
