MAAP has launched its latest jersey, the Pro Aero, which it claims will save you between 6 and 8 watts, equivalent to as much as 60 seconds over 100km, thanks to its aero features.
The new jersey has been developed alongside the Jayco AlUla men’s and Liv AlUla Jayco women’s WorldTour pro teams, which are kitted out by MAAP.
Between them, the two teams have scored four victories during the 2025 season, including Ben O’Connor’s summit win on the Col de la Loze on Stage 18 of the Tour de France.
MAAP uses a proprietary thin aero fabric, which it calls Aatero Flyte, which includes woven ribs in the sleeves that it claims reduce airflow turbulence.
MAAP says its new fabric was the culmination of testing of 16 prototypes and is only 20 microns thick, with a weight of 100g/m2.
The bad news is MAAP says the aero gains are only achieved at riding speeds of over 40km/h. The good news is it states the aero features are woven into the fabric, and so are permanent and won’t wear out or degrade over time.
Other features designed to make you faster include raw hems to the sleeves with internal silicone grippers, hydrophobic fibres to increase evaporative cooling, an ergonomic collar and bonded rear pockets.
MAAP says the new jersey, made in Italy, has a lower environmental impact too, thanks to an elastomer made without solvents that reduces chemical use during production, and is more durable and more easily recycled.
You can purchase the MAAP Pro Aero jersey from MAAP’s site, its Lab stores and retailers of its clothing, priced at £210 / $265 / €220 / AU$345. It’s available in MAAP’s usual men’s S to XXL and women’s XXS to XL sizing, and in the purple and green colours shown.
