    Your Perfect Summer Outfit

    On the occasion of our monthly “Q-Talks” webinar of April we asked the over 300 participants to compile a simple questionnaire that attempted to better understand the biggest kit issues facing riders in summer conditions, from moisture management in humid climates to overheating to managing extreme temperature volatility to, quite simply, general health and comfort. Analyzing the results with his internal team, Q36.5’s founder and head of R&D, Luigi Bergamo, developed 5 outfit proposals which he believed represented the perfect solution to the specific combinations of problems listed by riders. Scroll through to have a look at the choices and understand Luigi’s thinking behind each combination of elements!

    High Variables & Unpredictable Weather

    “This outfit serves to protect the rider from any and everything that highly variable and unpredictable summer weather conditions can throw your way. The Dottore Pro bib shorts and jersey combination offers the guarantee of perfect comfort, temperature stability across wide ranges of temperature and extremely fast drying times in case of rain. The light rain shell is an “upgrade” we recommend relative to the classic summer Air Vest or jacket for riders who make encounter more frequent wet or cool conditions. The taped seam construction and use of 10 000mm membrane rather than the 5000mm of the air vest offers more protection with same overall volume.”

    The Q36.5 Dottore Pro Cycling Jersey for Women is a jersey for design purists, with a unique sleeve cut that entirely eliminates the use of shoulder seams creating a perfect on-the-bike fit. Constructed from a 3D-woven fabric with silver thread, the jersey offers superior thermoregulation and ultra-fast drying times. The texture of the fabric is aero-optimized, providing the greatest advantage to riders at speeds between 40 and 59km/h.

    Color: Tarmac | Size: M
    The Q36.5 Dottore Pro Bib Shorts for Women 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-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.

    “This is the ultimate summer outfit for riders living in areas with extreme heat (>30°C) looking to use the pinnacle of Q36.5 technology both for aesthetic and functional reasons! The Dottore Clima range offers the same characteristics of support, versatility and fast drying times as our Dottore Pro range, calibrated for higher temperatures (or pro-intensity) with additional aerodynamic tuning not found on the Dottore Pro jersey. The light rain shell completes the “hi-tech” package with additional technology relative to the air jacket but with the same low volume. ”

    Easy Summer Hi-Tech

    “A combination of Gregarius and Dottore elements (like our pro riders) form the basis of this outfit designed for serious riding in more gentle summer conditions. The Gregarius Pro jersey offers pro fit, drying times, breathability and aero-enhancements for cyclists riding at mid-high intensity but in less “perilous” conditions as well as offering more graphic possibilities. Dottore Pro bib shorts add a super hi-tech flourish. For riders susceptible to the cold or looking for extra cosiness we recommend the dottore hybrid vest.”

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.

    “For a rider who is perhaps less “experienced” or doesn’t ride through winter and is looking to spend a lot of time riding in summer with friends in nice stable temperatures, but struggles to feel 100% comfortable and confident in his/her kit we recommend this “easy” outfit combining the comfort and neutral on-bike feel of the Gregarius Pro range with the super-helper Dottore Hybrid Vest that offers a feeling of extra cosiness compared to air vest, with only a slight volume penalty as well as allowing for much more efficient wicking than classic shells. A base layer is an essential requirement for this kind of rider.”

This uniquely unrestricted feeling of the Gregarius Pro is the result of system which fuses a new ergogenic pattern (four different fabrics, minimal stitching) with our revolutionary adaptive chamois pad. The Q LAB Air Chamois employs a single layer cover fabric without lamination or foam for rapid drying and breathability during hot conditions while the C-shaped foam pad underneath is inserted directly into the pattern of the shorts, creating a single plane from straps to groin. This design offers noticeably superior stability and comfort for the rider. Even during the hardest moments of the climb, you will need to look down at your legs to remind yourself that you are even wearing anything!

    Southern Hemisphere Humidity Special

    “For all riders suffering in humid conditions where temperatures are not necessarily high but ventilation and dry air is hard to come by, we recommend the Gregarius Pro Jersey. Designed for cyclists riding at mid to high intensity in less perilous conditions, the jersey offers a pro fit combined with fast drying times, high breathability and subtle aero enhancements, while also allowing for greater graphic possibilities.
    Its lightweight construction promotes consistent air flow between body and jersey, helping the rider maintain a stable body temperature even when humidity makes evaporation more difficult. We recommend our lightest base layer (0) not just for increased wicking body surface area keeping you drier, but also for “cosiness” in moments where intensity decreases but the body remains wet.
    Dottore Clima bib shorts complete the package with their more open and ventilated structure whilst a simple Air Vest offers emergency protection in descents or unexpected summer showers.”

 the possibilities for testing and fine-tuning are endless.

    Changing clothing solutions from ride to ride, riding the climb one day with the jersey closed, the next open etc. become part of the joy of cycling, a sport that combines extraordinary physical effort with machine technology better than any other.
