Q36.5. Performance, technology and innovation in cycling

Q36.5: cycling apparel designed to manage temperature and intensity

Q36.5 cycling apparel is built around a precise principle: helping cyclists maintain more stable body conditions as pace, temperature, and external conditions change. The construction of the garments uses materials and panels differentiated according to body mapping logic, with solutions developed to support thermoregulation, moisture management, and freedom of movement in the riding position. The range extends from cycling jerseys and Bib shorts for summer rides to Hybrid pieces, jackets, and Bib tights for colder seasons, as well as specific women’s pieces, accessories, and Adventure products.

Dottore, Gregarius, Clima and Hybrid: which Q36.5 line should you choose?

The choice mainly depends on the type of ride and the conditions encountered. The Dottore Pro family represents one of the brand’s most technical expressions, with an ergonomic fit and constructions oriented toward support, stability, and thermal management. Gregarius Pro combines a performance-driven approach with a construction suited to intense training and summer rides; in the jerseys, it uses differentiated zones to promote airflow and breathability. For more demanding heat, the Clima line prioritizes lightweight materials and ventilation. When temperature, wind, and intensity change during the same ride, Hybrid garments combine protection and breathability through strategically placed materials. To complete the kit, they can be paired with Bib shorts cycling or, on colder days, with cycling jackets.

Q36.5 fit, layering and accessory selection

Many Q36.5 garments feature a close, pre-shaped fit, designed to perform correctly when the body is in the cycling position. Before purchasing, it is therefore important to compare your measurements with the size chart of each individual product, especially when moving from a Gregarius model to a more performance-oriented Dottore construction. In mid-season conditions, it is useful to think in layers: a Jersey Hybrid can be paired with suitable technical cycling base layers for the temperatures instead of automatically choosing a heavier garment. The system can be completed with cycling gloves, technical socks and, for those seeking a Q36.5 setup extended to pedal contact as well, with road cycling shoes.
