    q36-5-rain-shell

    RAIN

    Our Rain shells are highly appreciated for their exceptional combination of waterproofness, breathability and packability. These market-leading characteristics are driven by our proprietary 7-dernier nylon used for the outer face of the jacket.
    In addition to being highly resistant to abrasion, this woven fabric is extremely lightweight meaning that the jacket remains soft and low-volume, easily fitting in your backpocket, as well as guaranteeing waterproofness of the jacket on longer riders as even during sustained rain it absorbs a minimal amount of moisture.​

    q36-5-hybrid-shell

    HYBRID

    Comprised of both Dottore and Gregarius models, the Hybrid vest is a “natural” shell i.e. its windproofness is given not by a membrane but by the extremely tight construction of the outer fabric. Choose the Hybrid if you are looking for something a little bit more “cosy” and unique than the Air or Rain shell.
    A favourite of our Official Research Scientists, the Hybrid is entirely unique for the exceptional breathability it combines with windproofness on par with traditional shells. You will be drier and warmer than ever before at the bottom of your favourite descent.​

    Gregarius Hybrid Vest Coffee Brown
    060E.45.M Gregarius Hybrid Vest Coffee Brown
    Color: Coffee Brown | Size: M
    Based off the research and development of the new edition of our iconic Dottore Hybrid Vest, the Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Vest uses advanced body mapping and state-of-the-art construction techniques to produce a vest offering essential thermoregulation and versatility but with a more “traditional” feel and texture. Crucial to this technical achievement is the vest’s unique body mapping pattern where a thermal, tightly knitted and protective fabric covers not just your front area but also your flanks and back, following the movement of chilly air as it flows around you as you ride. FOR WOMEN: Order one size smaller: e.g. if you wear a S in women’s jerseys, we suggest you order the XS size of this jersey.

    Dottore Hybrid Vest Black
    060P.2.M Dottore Hybrid Vest Black
    Color: Black | Size: M
    The Q36.5 Dottore Hybrid Vest is characterized by its exceptional versatility across temperature ranges, riding conditions, and outfit adaptability thanks to its pioneering use of high density woven fabrics that mimic the qualities of shell fabrics but with far superior breathability and moisture management. This third generation version of our signature vest is characterized by even more advanced body mapping. We invested in months of wind tunnel studies with our Pro Team and the Japanese cycling federation that allowed us to better understand the movement of chilly winter air around the flanks of the cyclist. In fact, the thermal UF shell fabric now covers not just the front of the rider but flanks and part of the back as well. The central part of the back uses an ultralight mesh fabric and mesh pockets have been added to the vest. Unhemmed construction of the sleeve openings - new for this year - reduces weight while increasing longevity and comfort. FOR WOMEN: Order one size smaller: e.g. if you wear a S in women’s jerseys, we suggest you order the XS size of this jersey.
