At the heart of the project promoted by Q36.5 is a special cycling jersey made in men's and women's versions.

Inspired by the leopard

The design of the AWF jersey takes on the themes and colours of the leopard's natural habitat. Here then the rocky landscapes, dense bushes and forests are clearly visible. where these big cats love to hide and above all hunt. The same leopard image is also present in several places on the shirt to best symbolize the animal in its natural environment.

From a technical point of view, the garment was made from 70 percent recycled polyester fibre fabricsAlways attentive to the environment, Q36.5 makes all its garments in ItalyWith a production chain located a maximum distance of 350 kilometers from its headquarters in Bolzano. Body mapping technology was used to construct the jerseyHence the choice to combine different fabrics in the garment, strategically positioned according to their characteristics, to achieve great lightness, maximum breathability and aerodynamics.

For him and for her

As for the men's shirt, the sleeves are made of a slightly ribbed fabric, while the front panel is a micro-perforated fabric and on the back there is a honeycomb mesh. The combination of this innovative solution makes the very light shirt (110 grams) and breathable.

Moving on to the women's jersey, the push-pull effect with a super-quick drying time and optimal moisture management is definitely worth mentioning.
