    Technical Features

    137 g 4-Seasons

    Cycling Vest L1 Essential

    The first cycling Gilet was introduced in the 1980s, shortly after the advent of laminated ‘shell’ fabrics. From the very beginning this piece of clothing was imagined and developed specifically for Professional riders as the maximum expression of versatility and essentiality; a true ‘emergency friend’ capable of offering a broad range of protective features with minimum volume. Over time the Gilet has conjugated itself into two distinct categories: the windproof/rainproof Gilet and the thermal Gilet, used as protection against the cold. The Q36.5 gilet eliminates the distinction between the two categories with a hybrid 4-season 137g piece of equipment. This is achieved primarily through the use of the UFHybridShell material, a thermal ribbed fleece material which, while constructed without a membrane (which would confer wind or waterproofing qualities) is woven, on its outer side, with such an extraordinarily high density so as to create a wind resistance comparable to that of a traditional soft shell fabric, while maintaining a high degree of breathability. Sensitive riders will immediately appreciate the advantages on long descents, where the sweat soaked jersey is able to wick through the gilet and properly dry, an entirely novel sensation for riders used to the gilets currently available on the market. The material has also undergone a treatment before being woven (as opposed to a ‘finish’ employed on the fabric, choice which allow the threads to maintain their natural characteristics) for water resistance and fast drying times. Cut on the same fit block as the Short Sleeve L1 jersey.  No rear pockets but two invisible slits for accessing rear pockets of jersey or jacket worn underneath. Cam Lock 3mm Reflex.

    Excellent in everything. Excellent wind blocking capability. Excellent breathability. Excellent insulation. 2way zipper (Navy). The holes in the back to get access to your jersey pockets is very well thought.

    amazing vest love the material and fit

    21 September 2023

    Love the higher visibility of this vest.

    warm, light, great color, I feel special in it

    23 June 2023

    Flawless fit and finish. I am on the short side of average (172 cm), very small-boned, and far too thin (62 kg) and it's hard to find anything that fits. Since I ride on tree lined roads, I often go for high vis clothing and this color is great. I love the compression and the fact that the 'pockets' are just holes into the actual jersey. Considering how substantial, i.e. thick, this gilet is, it packs very well. It is also good for a fairly wide range of temperatures. I've found that Q36.5 XS is perfect for me, both tops and bottoms. This is a new brand for me (I have been an Assos customer for decades but nothing they make fits me anymore), and I think it might be the best fitting bike clothing I've ever purchased.

    Looks nice. Perfect color. fits. Because of the cold weather conditions I could not wear it yet ...

    21 November 2022

    Eine richtig wertige Weste. Passform perfekt und sie wärmt wie angegeben und ist trotzdem super leicht.

    14 November 2022

    I bought this one in green. Before last spring. It responds excellent to my needs. Kept me warm in spring and autumn. I like to wear it. Very good collar. It was washed frequently and I did not have the problems as described below. Rear pockets are accessible, but you have to be a pianoplayer to pick out things while riding.

    A+++

    Awesome fit. Just wish this vest had pockets.
