RECYCLED FABRICS
In order to produce proprietary textiles, we have been focusing our R&D efforts on the design and development of threads and fabrics which precisely answer our needs. At Q36.5 compromise is not part of our vocabulary!
We are aware that fabrics for sport clothing aren’t usually made of natural materials, never the less our ambition is to try to develop fabrics in a way that respects nature and can be part of a natural cycle in order to produce less waste. This is why all our garments are PFC free.
Our must-have bib short, the GREGARIUS ULTRA, has been adapted and is now made with 100% recycled yarns. We revamped the UF Knit44 fabric in order to have a fully recycled fabric. Most recycled fabrics use only a recycled yarn for polyamide and stick with a virgin yarn for elastane. In our new development of the UF Knit44 ECO we have chosen only 100% recycled yarns.
DURABLE materials
Timeless style made to last.
Each and every garment that we carefully pack to send to our clients has been thoughtfully produced to last for many years.
We don’t follow fashion trends because we have created a brand whose style is minimal and timeless, hence we update our Essential Collection only every four years. This cycle gives us ample time to produce truly valuable innovations.
Our clients know that the product they just bought will not be out-of-date within a year.
We also stress the importance of taking proper care of our products. A product well taken care of will be more effective, last much longer and bring more joy to the wearer.
MADE IN ITALY
95% of our production is done within 350km of Q36.5’s headquarters in Bolzano.
Thanks to its location in the heart of the Italian Dolomites, Bolzano is a vibrant city with a strong outdoor culture and is an ideal hub for many sports.
We strive to find local partners so that we can closely monitor all phases of production, ensuring excellence while minimizing our travel footprint.
The materials we use are also entirely made in Italy.
BOND WITH NATURE
We are fortunate to call the Dolomites our backyard and we have a rooted connection with the nature that surrounds us. We respect and cherish it!
The outdoors is our playground, whether we are riding our bikes in enchanting forests or climbing hard to reach impervious peaks, thus the designs of most of our garment ideas are strongly inspired by our natural environment.
