Why woven?

The performance advantages of Dottore fabrics explained.

Up until 12 years ago, all cycling bib shorts were made from knitted fabrics, but in 2013, inspired by the innovations of competition swimsuits, Q36.5 became the first brand in the world to create a pair of cycling bib shorts made from stretch woven fabrics.

Using a specifically developed fabric with extraordinary technical characteristics we set in motion a revolution that is still today little understood.

Here we give you a brief guide to the performance advantages offered by our specifically developed woven fabrics.

1. Lower Overall Weight

By combining an exceptional level of thread twist (1700 times, rather than industry standards of 330-400) and density of weave (220+ threads per cm2 compared with 44 of knitted fabrics), Q36.5 has been able to continue to offer riders the world’s lightest bib shorts with its Dottore and Dottore Clima product families.

2. Greater Durability

The extremely compact surface achieved through our tightly woven fabric greatly increases our Dottore bib shorts’ resistance to abrasion, pilling and surface snagging, allowing them to last considerably longer.

3. Invariable Shape

Unlike knitted fabrics that tend to deform through use, Q36.5’s unique woven fabrics maintain the very same shape (and feel) as the very first time you wore them, even after tens of thousands of KMs.

4. More Compressive Fit

The level of modulus force (the force needed to stretch a fabric to its maximum) of our woven fabrics is specifically calibrated to offer muscles the perfect level of compression. This light compression aids leg muscles to remain aligned during extension and contraction, notably reducing fatigue on long rides.

007P.M Dottore PRO Bib Shorts Black
Color: Black | Size: M
The Q36.5 Dottore Pro Bib Shorts for Men are the world’s leading high performance woven bib shorts, using technologies pioneered by Q36.5 and continuously refined over the last ten years. From the very first pedal stroke, riders will appreciate a feeling of superior muscular support, comfort, and on-the-bike stability. This unique feeling is achieved through the use of four different proprietary woven fabrics as well as our patented Q LAB Air Chamois, which provides total comfort and superior moisture management. The use of a high-density woven material with gradual compression along the leg panels in particular ensures a superior alignment of muscle fibers during the repetitive action of lengthening and contracting the legs, creating an important performance advantage over long distances. The Silver yarn found in the leg panels reduces the negative impact of naturally occurring electric charges produced by the body during exercise as well as boosting the blood flow and increases oxygen supply to cells.
