Maap cycling is a relative newcomer in riding apparel, however, since their first hit the market in 2014, the Melbourne-based brand has exploded, and can be seen on the backs of riders around the world — including U23 cyclo-cross men’s world champion Tom Pidcock and the rest of his TP Racing team.
Founded by Oliver Cousins and Jarred Smith, who bring decades of design and fashion experience to the table and have previously worked with the likes of Stussy, Mambo and Globe before making the jump into cycling clothing. Maap’s fabrics sourced from Swiss and Italian mills and each of the company’s garments are produced in Milan.
There is no doubt Maap gear is stylish; however, the quality is also up there with industry stalwarts like Castelli, Santini, and Assos — the brand has even worked with sports scientist and founder of Adaptive Human Performance Ken Ballhause to design their own chamois.

Over the past few years, Maap has gone from just producing a single jersey and bib shorts, plus socks in a range of colours and designs, to making everything from base layers to winter jackets. The brand also continues to offer collaborations with brands like Suplest, Bellroy and Basso.
Maap overview
Here at Cyclingnews, we have had quite a bit of collective experience with Maap gear, having ridden in everything from their first round of kits through the brand's more recent releases, and there are a few key points we have noticed in our testing to keep in mind before you buy.
Maap offers two cuts, pro fit and team fit but both are still based around slim builds. If you’re a stockier build rather than WorldTour skinny, break out the measuring tape and take a close look at the size chart rather than sticking to your usual sizing options.
