I found it too expensive, so I have never tried their stuff. I mostly wear Pedal Mafia.

First Comment ever, but really love what you are doing

You've got some thoughtful takes on Satisfy. In my role at Like the Wind mag I follow brands in the running world closely so hearing other people's opinions is interesting.

For me, I have been using Gobik, a spanish brand. their products are of good quality and prices not as crazy as Pas Normal. Higher in quality than Rapha as well.. Which fell in designs in recent years.

I think, you are a good guy. Though honestly my ears were bleeding from this marketing jibberish. Before you explain what you mean by statements like "they redefine cycling clothing and apparel", you continue to fire off the next airy attributions like "sharp focus on performance and global outreach". Like some here were already writing, l think PNS is a cycling fashion brand with some marketing drummed up events. No more, no less.

I have over 10-12 jerseys and about as much bibs from MAAP their pro bib i got along with training and evo bibs is the worst of the lot my pro bib sagged and loosened the fastest just in a few washes its cutting edge fabric but they have not built it right in terms of stretch and recovery and fit for L size.

PNS prices are a real turn off...my floppy PNS is proof of that.

most of the people I know that "braeathe the sport" and have been cycling non stop since the 1990s would never wear anything remotely similar to this overpriced clothing. it is embarassing to read the marketing material as a objective description, I hope you are at least paid to do so otherwise it is double embarassment.

good video but not a fan of the background drums

MAAP is just ther new Rapha...and it will go the same way as Rapha has. In SIngapore every 2nd or 3rd cyclist looks the friggin same wearing the same kit.

Where I live the heat and humidity is absolutely disgusting and a highly breathable jersey is a must.. I’ve found the Maap evade to be the best after trying quite a few brands. I’m not a fan of the prices though.. luckily there are loads of people in Australia selling kit on fb marketplace that have worn the kit once and got the wrong size.. I also rate the training bibs!! A lot cheaper than the evo, but still super comfortable on long rides.

They are really good quality but not long term sustainable I would say. And to be fair the quality and craft is excellent but you could see they don’t know the know how from Rapha, where the current designs are shid, but you cannot argue that Rapha shid is a notch up in terms on conception (yes sometimes having manufacturing issues and awful colours) the idea and technical aspects of the clothes is up there

This reads more like the corporate sales pitch than an outside, objective analysis of the brand.

BS - RAPHA started with the idea - "We're not ASSOS, but we want to get that kind of price for our stuff. But we have no history or heritage like ASSOS, so we'll just make it all up! Then we'll pay various Italian (and Chinese?) companies to sew the stuff for us so we don't have to waste money on factories, etc." Then, just when the $$ elevator hit the top floor but before the cable broke they sold the whole works off to the Sprawl-Mart heirs. Mottram's a marketing genius, laughing all the way to the bank!

"Fashion and marketing" Yawn. Italian fabrics? I'll just let the Italians make the clothing too, sticking with Nalini and Santini, companies who know what they're doing and have been doing it for decades, providing good value for money. I'm making my own "experience and lifestyle" so don't need to buy it from marketing-mavens like MAAP, Rapha, etc.

Are they overhyped? Are they worth it? Are they any good? These were the questions I asked myself before finally saying, "F**k it." I went ahead and bought a pair of their Team Bib Evo Cargos. The fabric and finish are incredible-the chamois is top-notch, stitching is excellent, the leg grippers hold like glue, and the suspenders don’t dig in or itch. After about 500km, they’ve been nothing but comfortable, with no issues so far. Would I buy another pair? I’ll wait and see how they hold up over time.

My jersey brand is the most sustainable, its called using vinted! I have a ton of great jerseys from big names and have never paid more then £20. If you care about getting stuff second hand, give it a wash and get over yourself

Maap's limited runs of products are incredibly frustrating. I have regularly been unable to exchange products for a different size because the line has already sold out within a couple of weeks of launch. They are more interested in Instagram likes than actually supplying cyclists.

Looks dope, insane pricing - just as every other trendy brands nowadays.

It is worth noting that I purchased the men's team bibs evo some time ago, I found that its stomach position is on the short side, carefully observed the official website pictures found that the women's model has a different styling design, the women's model has a white elastic band slightly longer, more suitable for the PNS such a short length of the cycling clothing with, so I purchased another women's model, in the stomach position wraps the better, the waist position is higher and more comfortable～

The stuff is nice but too over priced. Even their archive stuff is still pricey. I've got a jersey and base layer. While they're nice, it's nothing extra special. Being from Melbourne i see a lot of it and i think most wear it just for the brand name to be in the 'cool' group.

Sorry, but you are either sponsored by MAAP, aiming to be sponsored by MAAP, or are reading a script that they wrote. This is pure advertising spell.

I’ve sold Maap as a retailer… and the quality is good, but def not sustainable. As the brand (like many others) just releases new colorways of the same garment over and over again, like many fast fashion brands which also implies a lack of brand innovation. Making jerseys from 2 years ago feel outdated to consumers making them buy a new one… Rereleasing is just not sustainable at all…

Since when is 140-200 for a jersey considered midrange?

this aint midrange price tag at all, these are overprice af lol.

MAAP is definitely worth it, but that price tag… makes it hard to load up on multiple kits… MAAP sponsor me pls! I can bring the good vibes and a sixer!

MAAP is the way to go. Because of their videos, I dive deep into the world of cycling, and after three years I was quite lucky to obtain couple of their products - from longleeves, jerseys, bibs to accessories etc - all got on sale. Even they have a discount codes form Strava challenges. as for their products, is a top notch in quality and in design. highly recommended. TOP!

Lovely bits of kit that 😍

MAAP is always one of those brands I've appreciated but never pulled the trigger because of the price! Some of the sickest kit designs in the game currently though in my opinion. They're really the only other brand I see pushing the limits other than Rapha. Still would always wait for the Archive sales though haha! Nice video!

Dan, great start!!!

Its both and its going to go the way of rapha

Great insight into the brand! Thanks for sharing! Out of interest, what’s your favourite style of Oakley glasses?

Seriously overpriced, just like Rapha & MAAP. I mainly go to Siroko for my & the wife's cycling gear now. Top quality but without the Gucci price tags.

For the most part I just buy there stuff on sale, Satisfy themselves will even do an archive sale every once in a while.

PNS quality is not there for the price tag. Design wise they are not innovators - minimalist kit was present independently of PNS. In this field visually MAAP is much more interesting choice, while structurally and technically many other brands are innovating and experimenting to make cycling kit more comfortable and functional to use. What they are great at is marketing. Their rise coincided with "quiet luxury" trend in general fashion and it feels like, that their approach is to become Loro Piana of cycling. And there is a particular type of person, who gravitates towards exclusivity. But I'd rather praise functionally innovating and more accessible brands. God bless Castelli and Velocio for drop-tail technology in women bibs.

we should make the world a better place by putting people on bikes for sport, commuting, travelling. PNS represents the elitism that is preventing this from happening by shaming newcomers and their affordable bikes and gear.

Id love a video on UVU!

Beautifully edited video 👌🏻

Going from Motorbike grips to the goat of sunglasses brands is mental! 🤯Oakley will always be the pinnacle of sports sunnies for me ngl

It´s worth to mention also regarding pricing and attitude...the materials used but most importantly where the pieces are made is actually a great part of the steep prices. The pieces are all designed in house, everything is done either in Portugal or Japan with highly skilled manufacturing in low batches (no mass factories in some god forsaken place in Asia, in who knows what conditions). One can even argue that because of the latter, their carbon footprint, on purpose or not, makes them pretty sustainable, the only question is the lifespan of the garments and their warranty could be better or offer a buy back or repair program...regarding the punk ethos, DIY they have it in loads and do whatever they want and in this day and age who is more Punk...someone who shells 200 bucks for some shorts and it´s the only pair that uses everytime until its destruction or someone that shell 200 euros for 5 pairs of shorts of mainstream brands of different colors, with questionable manufacturing, for each day of the week, and let me get just one more because its sale and its cheap? The problem of Satisfy is not the price or the brand, it´s everyone used to having it cheap on a stale industry...And that´s why brands like them, Soar, Norda and the likes will thrive...best example On Running explosion on the last couple of years, came up with one or two models of shoes completely leftfield and now they are a monster...And if you are wondering FYI I´m not a Satisfy fanboy, don´t own their pieces...I´m just interested in business models in retail outdoor and I´m a punk =)

What brand hat are you wearing in this video?

Great video, keep it up my man

next vid on Norda?

At the end of the day Pas is stylish. Cycling to the general population has, for as long as I can remember, a reputation for making people looking goofy and lame in bright colors, with logos plastered everywhere, etc. PAS went on a mission to revoke those stereotypes. People buy PAS because they like how it looks. Fabrics, materials, all that discussion aside, I wear it because it's my favorite from a color, comfort, and functionality standpoint, and tbh, if you have $250 to spend on bibs, you're probably okay spending $50 more to get the colors and look you want. Props to PAS. People hate them, which means they've been very successful at creating their own market.

Great video mate! I’d be keen to do, get a team of 6 and I’ll meet you there!

Need a UK version of TSP 👀

Ну есть велолюбители с разным размером кошелька, кто-то свободно покупает эти дорогие тряпки и верит в то что он крут. А кому то совершенно это не интересно, и он больше ловит хорошее настроение просто от поездок, хотя одет тоже не плохо. Это как спортивный костюм от Nike или Gucci, они оба хороши, но Gucci не для всех:)

I'm gonna sound off on this because this video kind of pissed me off. Sorry in advance for the word vomit. brands SHOULD NOT be creating culture, as you put it. It makes me cringe because having worked for a brand that "created culture" for its niche, I can tell you that it is ABSOLUTELY about selling more product and not about "creating community" or whatever their marketing tells you. Those group rides they organize are straight up marketing events trying to influence you to remain brand loyal. I'll mention quickly that Toyota has a cult following because it builds great cars. They just work and they last 5 ever. You can read shit online about PNS clothing falling apart after several rides. Yes, they are stylish, I'll give it that, but as a consumer, I value long lasting gear. I'm willing to pay a high price for it. At the end of the day, I don't really care about associating with the brand. Build a great product and I'll buy it. I've seen shoddy craftsmanship on PNS jerseys friends have purchased and for that reason alone, I won't buy anything from them.

Good read of the fashion and creative side of the brand. You might be underplaying the community aspect, though. A lot of experienced cyclist hate it, but I think it is safe to say that PNS do pull more people into cycling and they do it by looking better, offering a simple way of connecting (just buy the kit and show up) and continuously telling a relevant story. As far as I know, every PNS shop runs a significant community program. It’s not a new play at all (people have been riding together since the Dawn of the bike, cafes have welcomed group rides forever), but they attract new people (and some traditionalists too). Another points with PNS is the “almost never on sale”, the constant visual innovation (mastering the drip tactics for product launches). All things considered; PNS seems to be among the winners. That is well done in a saturated market. My bet is that they will win even more through mastering adjacent categories, increasing owned distribution and remain profitable.

Been riding for years (France, Paris Area), member of a triathlon club etc.. & I never heard about this brand from anyone..
