The new collection autumn and winter of Q36.5 accompanies the cyclist on any terrain and in any condition. The mid-season context is fully captured by the range offered by the Bolzano-based company. At the foot of the Alps, in the Made in Italy brand's textile laboratories, garments have been launched that protect cyclists and challenge these transitional seasons. Among these, we mention the long-sleeved shirt Woolf X and the Wolf 2.0 bibshort. Two products that exploit respectively the thermoregulatory properties (mantra of the brand) of UF Active Fabric and UF Hybrid Shell fabrics.
Unique fabrics
From valley roads to mountain passes, from asphalt to dirt. Q36.5's new Fall/Winter 2022 collection features two advanced fabrics for the mixed terrain that often characterizes this transitional period.
The first is UF Active Fabric, a double-layer fabric that combines very fine merino wool and polyamide threads. Used in Woolf cycling jerseys and accessories, it actively reacts to temperature changes and variations in pedaling intensity to maintain comfort at all times. The merino wool on the inside of the fabric absorbs sweat and retains heat, even in humid conditions, while the outer fabric in polyamide helps wick away moistureThe optimal range in which the yield makes the most of its performance is between 10°C and 16°C. Recommended for low/medium intensity training on flat roads and gravel.
The second is UF Hybrid Shell, an ultra-high density fabric enriched with an intelligent yarn, produced from coffee processing residues and aimed at improving thermal properties and facilitating the transfer of humidity to the outside. This yarn creates a natural barrier against the wind and mimics the characteristics of a fabric with a membrane, maintaining the advantages of breathability and elasticity of fabrics that do not have them. Finally, the DWR treatment ensures water resistance and quick drying times. Its optimal operating temperature ranges from 8°C to 18°C. Ideal for high-intensity rides and suitable for climbs and descents.
Woolf X
The long sleeve jersey Woolf X is ideal for mid-season, for low-medium intensity outings and on mainly flat routes. This cape enjoys the better thermoregulation of the category for all fall and spring outings. Soft to the touch, it has been designed with a tight fit, with elasticated cuffs and a high, hermetic collar. The fit makes the shirt appear like a second skin offering excellent freedom of movement in the saddle.
Created with UF Active, the Woolf X actively reacts to your pedaling intensity and maintains comfort at all times. The merino element of the UF fabric wicks sweat and retains heat, even in humid conditions, while the Polyamide outer fabric helps to constantly wick away moistureWeighing just 175g/m^2, UF Active fabric offers greater thermal efficiency than traditional knitted fabrics of much higher density. weight reduced in fact it stands at only 195 g. On the back there are four pockets and reflective inserts to ensure high visibility. Available in three colours: Navy blue, black and Australian green. The price suggested retail price is 210 euros.
Wolf 2.0
La Wolf 2.0 bibshort by Q36.5 It offers unparalleled thermoregulation that is ideal for the transitional seasons. It combines resistance to atmospheric agents such as wind, water, and cold with comfort and versatility. The secret to the adaptability of the Wolf shorts lies in the UF Hybrid fabric, which is characterised on the outside by its dense shuttle-like structure, and on the inside by the brushed micro-fleece enriched with silver thread. To be understood as a two-layer shell which, despite not having a membrane, has extraordinary windproof properties, while also promoting the breathability of the garment.
Completing the head is the High-performance Super Molded seat pad, developed in collaboration with Elastic Interface, guarantees perfect support and allows you to pedal in comfort towards your seasonal goals. The clever positioning of the padding makes the difference, in fact to increase comfort in the pelvic area, the anti-stress cut allows for greater freedom of movement and eliminates pressure points. Finally, the tailored cut and attention to detail characteristic of Q36.5 garments are essential, such as the soft shoulder straps, reduced seams at the minimum and the leg turn with laser cutting. The bibshort is available in three colours: Navy blue, black and Australian green. The price suggested retail price is 220 euros.
