MAAP Men's Team Flow Vest Thistle

Regular price €130.00

The MAAP Men's Team Flow Vest is a lightweight, packable wind layer designed for changeable conditions and high-tempo riding. Wind-blocking fabric across the leading edges provides protection where it is needed most, while the air-permeable rear construction helps maintain breathability as the intensity increases.

Laser-cut perforations across the back improve cooling and ventilation, complemented by mechanical stretch and articulated shaping for unrestricted movement in the riding position. Low-profile bonded armholes and front hem reduce bulk, while elasticated rear sections keep the vest securely positioned. A two-way YKK zipper allows quick ventilation and easy access to jersey pockets, while the compact construction packs down easily when no longer needed.

Gilets versus jackets

In road cycling, gilets and jackets serve distinct roles. Gilets, or vests, excel in providing wind protection and core warmth without hindering arm movement. Lightweight and packable, gilets are ideal for variable weather, easily stowed in jersey pockets. Jackets offer comprehensive protection against rain, cold, and wind, featuring thermal insulation and water-resistant properties. The inclusion of sleeves in jackets makes them particularly effective for slightly colder weather, ensuring full-arm coverage and enhanced warmth. Versatile and suitable for various weather scenarios, jackets are the go-to choice for comprehensive weather defense, while gilets shine in providing a balance of protection and flexibility in more temperate conditions.

Layer up!

Tough cookies keep on cycling in winter, also when temperatures drop to as low as below zero degrees. What to wear to keep you warm enough? Let's cut straight through to the answer: it's all about layering. With your core kept warm, you unlock the secret to riding comfortably in the harshest of weather. At Maats, we advise to adhere to ''The Three Layer Principle'', consisting of:

#1: The baselayer

This is the first and arguably most key component to keeping you warm. Various options of thermal fabrics allow you to make the right choice for the temperature you're defying that day. For instance, pick merino wool for its perfect temperature regulation capacities, or choose Polartec for state-of-the-art heat technology. Wear a snug fit to make sure the top layers won't look wrinkly.

#2: The longsleeve jersey

This middle piece may seem excessive, but let us tell you: it isn't. The longsleeve jersey is the ideal inbetween layer to add a level of temperature regulation, combined with the practical function of its pockets (as both layer #1 and #3 typically don't have these). Longsleeve jerseys come in variations from thin textiles to thermal fleece-lined fabrics. Choose what you feel aligns best with the outside temperature.

#3: The gilet or jacket

Lastly, wear a gilet or jacket over all of the above. A gilet keeps your core warm yet ventilates through your armpits, whereas a jacket's sleeves not only keep your body warmth, but also cover your arms to cold riding wind. The great thing about this third layer is that you can wear it (partly) unzipped to cool down, or get rid of it altogether during your ride. Lightweight gilets/jackets typically can be stowed easily into a back pocket of your jersey.
Now don't think this is it: treat yourself to a thermal long bib, and take care of your extremities by adding a beanie, a neck tube, gloves, thermal socks, overshoes and what not. At Maats, we have it all! ;)
