What does Q36.5 stand for?
Q stands for quaerere in Latin meaning 'Research'
36.5°C is the optimal body temperature of the human body
Q36.5 was born as a research laboratory – allowing for unrestrained experimentation and innovation in the cycling industry.
Each piece of Q36.5 clothing is an uncompromising piece of technical equipment that allows riders to make marginal gains whilst keeping their body temperature at the optimal 36.5°C.

Rigorously Tested
Q36.5 gear is rigorously tested in a climatic chamber in cooperation with one of the most avant-garde European scientific research institutes. We have developed a proprietary sensor system to analyse the thermal comfort of athletes during training and performance and to allow for optimal body-mapping studies that allow us to pinpoint exact thermal and sweat zones.
Q LAB
Proprietary Fabrics
Q36.5 collaborates with elite Italian textile partners to develop the most efficient cycling fabrics in the world. Developed by our in-house studio along with exceptional Italian textile manufacturers for exclusive use in our collections. These proprietary fabrics have been developed to optimally support athletes in high-intensity activity under the most challenging conditions.
