    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.​

    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.​

    Dottore Hybrid Vest Check Grey
    060P.68.M Dottore Hybrid Vest Check Grey
    Color: Check Grey | Size: M
    The Q36.5 Dottore Hybrid Vest is characterized by its exceptional versatility across temperature ranges and riding conditions, thanks to its pioneering use of high density woven fabrics that mimic the qualities of shell fabrics but without the use of membranes, achieving superior breathability and moisture management. Riders will immediately notice how the Dottore Hybrid Vest keeps them significantly drier and warmer than vests of equivalent volume, especially on high intensity rides. 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.
