Maap Pro Bib Shorts

Published

Maap is def­i­nite­ly one of my favorite brands. Their shorts are some of the best I’ve owned, and have held up real­ly well over the years. I have two pair of their ‘Pro’ bibs—in black and navy. The Pros are a bit lighter fab­ric than the train­ing bibs, but are real­ly well tai­lored to the rid­ing posi­tion and are super com­fort­able for any­thing from a hard club ride to a 7‑hour brevet.

An inter­est­ing note on the fab­ric: it almost feels a bit smoother and denser than some oth­er shorts I own. Almost like an abra­sion-resis­tant feel, which seems appro­pri­ate as these are their more ‘race-ori­ent­ed’ offer­ing. Not super light-weight, but def­i­nite­ly lighter and cool­er than their Team or Train­ing lines. All in all, a real­ly sol­id set of bibs.
