Q36.5 Q36.5 is an extreme Absolutely vision of the future of competitive cycling Equipment

The new Essential Collection 2.0

As promised, since we are coming to the end of our 4-year cycle, we are unveiling the new generation of our Essential Collection, just in time for Winter/2019 and the Olympic games in Tokyo.

For us, “Essential” is not just the name of a collection, rather it is the spirit of Q36.5. “Essential” is our credo dictating all we do. One could say that it’s part of our DNA. “Essential” is the source of our inspiration for all of our R&D and creative efforts. Q36.5’s Essential Collection is a compact range of extremely versatile equipment that can a “Corridore” (racer, well prepared rider) for any riding condition in any season. We define “Essential” as being a substantial, necessary collection, not adorned with unnecessary frills but rather minimal and state of the art in function. It’s a cycling military proving less is actually more.

2 3 This past year has seen us re-thinking, Size development experimenting, testing, developing and We are introducing a unisex cut with XXS sizes designing new pieces of Equipment and we to fit women. are now ready to introduce Q36.5’s second Essential Collection.

The “Essential” with: Hybrid Overshoes and the Super Termico New, advanced body mapping construction, Overshoes are conceived with a new fit eliminating the unnecessary. system - you wear them like a !! The laser cut (raw cut) solution, getting rid of all unnecessary seams. Working on weight reduction, “Stay warm with a lightweight garment”. Improved ergonomic cut and comfort. Hermetic collar construction.

During the past five years we have also learned more about the importance of fabric cut. In our second generation products we pay special attention to the quality and durability of our fabrics. Pioneering research in the area of smart fibers led to our breakthrough use of woven fabrics in cycling apparel. Now we have improved our proprietary fabrics with new, smart fibers creating the Hybrid Shell Plus, Hybrid Shell Light, Thermal Shell and Thermal Shell Light.

As safety while cycling is an ongoing issue, we have added larger reflective inserts and details such as bright colors for added visibility. And finally, we are focusing more on sustainability. Our footprint during the entire production process is limited and we use recycled fibers in several of our proprietary fabrics. The Essential Collection 2.0 continues in the undying spirit of inspired functional and minimalistic design.

42 43 Fit is everything

Q36.5 garments are characterized by a Unique Fit. This Unique Fit will be immediately discerned by the rider in the different feeling, a different feeling which is the invisible signature of the brand experienced when he or she first puts on a piece of Q36.5 clothing. All Q36.5 products use high performance fabrics which have often been developed by us in conjunction with suppliers exclusively for use in these products. The best performance of these Unique Fabrics can only be achieved through the intended snug Q36.5 fit; while some riders may not be used to cycling clothing which follows the contours of the body so closely, this different feeling comes at no expense to on the bike comfort; in fact the fit qualities achieved through a combination of fit and specifically developed fabrics (often used in various different densities throughout the pattern for the most sensitive body mapping) improve comfort, particularly on longer rides where muscular fatigue can stimulate significant discomfort.

Essentialism and purity

The name Essential Collection is chosen not only as a reference to the essentialism and purity of the designs but also to the deliberately compact range of garments offered: a single summer jersey, a single , single bib short model, and so on. For these pieces of clothing the definition of performance goes beyond that of a garment which works exceptionally in a single, often highly specific, set of circumstances, and into an idea of performance which is understood as the clothing’s ability to continue to function at a high level and even thrive in a broad range of riding conditions, be they over the course of ride, as can occur when racing in high mountains, or with an unexpected change in weather, or over the course of multiple seasons.

66 67 The riding companion

The Cruise Equipment line was conceived to be a riding companion for various occasions when you need better insulation no matter what the conditions. It’s a compact range of apparel, spe- cifically designed to uncompromisingly meet the demands of intense training in variable conditions. Each piece is constructed with proprietary inno- vative fabrics, the main goal being to maintain a stabile body temperature. The minimalist and pure look also pays attention to the importance of road safety offering augmented visibility, thanks to reflective inserts.

Inspired by , designed by scientific research

Cruise Collections were first introduced into the world of fashion at the beginning of the twentieth century by several designers and were aimed at wealthy people who would annually take a cruise or travel to countries with mild climates during the winter season. Today, many cyclists also have the opportunity to travel to warm locations in the win- ter months to chalk up some quality winter miles.

Natural fibers

For this line we have developed a woven blend of polyamide and merino wool, an innovative combi- nation of synthetic and natural yarns with a spe- cific construction that enhances functionality by creating a push & pull of the internal sponge struc- ture that removes the moisture and leaves the skin less clammy: all this with the incredible light weight of 175 gr/m2! The fabric has been given a durable water repellent finishing to allow proper thermal comfort during interval training under any weather conditions.

The collection, Q36.5’s first not dedicated to intense cycling activity, has been designed for the maniacal and obsessive cyclist who knows how to apply the performance lessons learnt on the bike to every other moment of their day, from commuting, to post-race recovery, to travel and work.

New feeling

The result is an essential collection of radical Made in Italy urban sportswear – including active and shorts, gilet, jacket and sweatshirt – dominated by the use of high density woven stretch fabrics, technology which Q36.5 introduced to the cycling world in 2013 to create a new feeling in the history of competitive cycling clothing.

Respect for the environment

The entire Crossover Equipment, including fabric weaving, is produced within a 300km² radius of the company’s headquarters in Bolzano.

124 125 Achilles tendon protection pad Padded rectangular area which protects the Achilles Tendon zone, increasing comfort and longevity of the product. This feature has been designed to compensate for the severity of the grip in the tighter rear heel construction of the new generation of stiffer-soled cycling shoes.

Chamois Fusion The chamois pads of high performance cycling bib shorts of the last 10 years have been characterised by the use of two different technologies: the first is the sewn flexible pad pioneered by Assos and Cytech with invention of the Elastic Interface® in 2000. The second is the use thermo moulded foam pads. Each have their distinctive advantages: the sewn pad is more flexible and elastic while the thermo moulded pad is able to use a much denser grade of foam and thus offer more support and padding. Multi-layer and multi-density open cell foam, calibrated for different levels and kinds of support (eg. the perineal, ischiatic, genital and gluteal zones) is used throughout the cha- mois area.In the front part of the chamois, where flexibility, breathability and softness are most appreciated the foam’s elastic covering fabric is cut and sewn. In the rear part of the chamois, where flexibility is at less of a premium, compared to support and padding, the foam is thermo-moulded in order to achieve a superior density. The perineal area is also taken into specific consideration with two parallel lengthwise foam pads positioned in the appropriate area in function of the rider’s good health.The pad cover, a proprietary atypical ‘dou- ble-heart shape of generous proportions, has been designed to better cup the gluteal and genital areas.

Chamois Super Moulded Glossary Padded rectangular area which protects the Achilles Tendon zone, increasing comfort and longevity of the product. This feature has been designed to compensate for the severity of the grip in the tighter rear heel construction of the new generation of stiffer-soled cycling shoes.

Ergogenic pattern An Ergogenic Pattern garment has been designed in such a way as that all panels and fabrics are tuned to support specific musculature groups during sporting activity. Garments designed with Ergogenic Patterns will be distinguished by their extremely snug but not constrictive feel and increased stability during the pedalling motion, as the fabric, cut and panel alignment support a balanced position and accordingly reduce muscu- lar fatigue on longer or more intense rides.

Hermetic collar system A second collar found on the internal side of the first collar. This second collar is a soft and elastic fleece cut to easily rest directly against the neck much like the elasticated tape used underneath a by barbers. This second internal collar hermetically seals the body from cold air which can often enter from the rear part of the neck during activity, offering superior protection to that provided by the traditional single collar found on other cycling jackets.

Riri’s plastic moulded teeth, injected directly onto the tape create a highly water-resistant seal without the need for further protection. The result is a cleaner and more minimal jacket design as well as a moderate weight saving.

RSR body mapping Garments constructed with RSR (Regional Sweat Rate) body mapping will be breathable in differing degrees Lumbar Support Panel throughout the garment according to scientific research data collected regarding the various regional swe- at rates of the athlete’s body. This more strategic use of breathable panels and varying densities allows for The lumbar support panel is an x-shaped panel that can be found above the rear part of the chamois on all the construction of the lowest volume garment as well as the most stable body temperature during activity. Q36.5 bib shorts. The panel is made from a proprietary fabric that has the greatest woven density (Modulus Force warp 510, weft 620) of any panel in the bib short, its visible ribbing operates as an architectural inter- vention providing even greater structure to the fabric’s body. This extreme compressiveness (impossible, for example, with the knitted fabrics used by all other bib short brands) creates a zone of support for the lumbar and gluteus musculature, providing the rider with improved stability, orientation, balance and proprioceptivi- ty in this critical zone in which all the principal muscles used in the pedalling action are connected. The Lumbar Support Panel is the ballast of the entire vectorial elasticity concept, the particularly high modu- lus force of the strategically placed panel’s fabric renders it able to control the ‘tension’ so visible to the eye, Seamless Karl Maier Construction and palpable to the body, of the rest of the Salopette L1 Essential. It is another ‘hidden signature’ of the Q36.5 All seamless machines are not equal. Q36.5 has chosen to construct all its seamless garments on Karl Maier collection. machines whose superior technological capabilities allow for us to minimize and in many cases entirely eli- minate the use of seams as well as design garments with sophisticated variable density body mapping Karl Maier machines are, in our minds, the height of the expression of seamless technology.

Metatarsal protection pad Larger rectangular padded area which protects the metatarsal area of the foot, increasing comfort and protection. Silver Thread In 2013, when Q36.5 first introduced the use of next-generation high-density WOVEN FABRICS into the world of high-performance cycling clothing with its Salopette L1 the move was a bold one, breaking with the knitted stretch fabrics which have monopolized bib short construction over the last 40 years. In 2016 Q36.5 has further enhanced the character of this unique choice through the introduction of a silver thread into the weft of the fabric used in two different panels of il dottore: the bottom 20 cm of the legs and the lumbar support panel (which supports the gluteus, the largest human muscle). Pre-Shape fit In this case the pure silver thread’s greatest performance advantage is not given by its anti-bacterial or conductive qualities but by it qualities of protection from electrostatic and magnetic interference (the A pre-shape fit garment is cut to have the least resistance to the athlete’s body when in the position it assu- so-called “electrosmog” pollution of electromagnetic radiation resulting from wireless technology and mains mes while riding.

UF Waterproof / High Breathability The R. Shell Protection is constructed from an essentialist proprietary 3-layer fabric: the outer layer is an extremely compact high-density woven polyamide, while the second layer is an avant-garde Japanese Unique Fabric Thermal Shell hydrophilic membrane with very high-breathability (RET value of 5) and 18.000 mm/l waterproof rating. Unique Fabric ThermalShell is Q36.5 proprietary low-volume laminated shell fabric specifically developed for the intensity of high performance cycling in cold and extreme cold weather. The external layer of the shell is an extremely dense and lightweight polyamide-lycra fabric with a water-re- sistance treatment. The fabric is highly elastic, with 4-way stretch for best ease of movement, constructed for durability and toughness. The inner layer is made from the finest Italian polyester fleece. MOST IMPORTANLY the middle layer of this laminated fabric is a Japanese-made hydrophilic 18micron Unhemmed Finish non-porous PU membrane. Q36.5 favours the use of hydrophilic over hydrophobic membranes (such as Goretex™), believing that they best allow for the body to transpire and remain dry at a healthy temperature Unhemmed finish means that the way in which the fabric has been woven or knitted allows for it to be cut during intense athletic activity* and modified directly by the user with no need to then be hemmed. Please feel free to cut your Unhemmed The hydrophilic membrane offers the most suitable combination between thermal insulation, vapour per- Finish garment any way you see fit! meability and waterproofness for high intensity cycling in cold and extreme cold weather. The polymer mo- lecules of the membrane have a predetermined activation point at which they ‘open’ and increase permea- bility (allowing the body to transpire more efficiently at high temperatures) and ‘close’ at lower temperatures allowing for an increase in the insulation properties when the body temperature is lower.

Unique Fabric Hybrid Shell The UF Hybrid Shell takes its name from the fabric’s ability to mimic the performance of a laminated shell fabric without the use of a membrane, using high density weaving techniques (an expertise which Q36.5 has been the first – and as yet only brand – to develop in the cycling clothing sector) to produce a natu- Vectorial Elasticity ral barrier* with extremely low fabric weight and volume (190 g/m²).

Thermal conductivity refers to silver’s ability to distribute heat quickly and evenly across its surface (like the silver spoon in a cup of hot tea), accelerating conduction of the body’s heat to the surface from which it can evaporate. Evaporation itself is then accele- rated by silver’s high level of conduction in a humid environment.
