Q36.5

About Q36.5

Q36.5 began as a research laboratory for cycling, and it still works that way. The name comes from 36.5°C, the body temperature the brand wants riders to hold in every season and weather. Its Bolzano headquarters sits in the Dolomites, where an in-house R&D team has developed the Lumbar Support System, Gradual Compression and Super Moulded Chamois. The UNIQUE Bibs, made from a single woven garment, won a Red Dot Design Award. Clothing is tested in a climatic chamber, using fabrics developed with Italian textile makers. RaceWear is made by hand within 350 km of Bolzano, with up to 100% recycled fabrics. The range also includes cycling shoes, such as the Unique Pro, which has a carbon fibre sole made in Montebelluna and a tongueless mesh panel for ventilation.
