Experience the perfect fusion of versatility and performance with the Q36.5 Gilet - Vest L1 Essential. Designed with professional riders in mind, this gilet redefines what a cycling vest can be by seamlessly blending wind resistance, breathability, and thermal protection into a lightweight 137g garment. Crafted from the innovative UFHybridShell fabric, it offers a unique balance: a ribbed fleece with an exceptionally dense weave that blocks wind like a soft shell, yet remains highly breathable and quick-drying, ensuring comfort on long descents and varied weather conditions.
The Q36.5 Gilet eliminates the usual compromise between windproof and thermal vests by delivering a true hybrid solution. Its water-resistant treatment, applied before weaving, preserves the fabric’s natural qualities while enhancing durability against light rain and moisture. The tailored fit mirrors that of the Short Sleeve L1 jersey, providing streamlined layering without bulk. Thoughtful details like two invisible slits allow easy access to rear pockets of garments worn underneath, and the RIRI 4mm Acquazip zipper ensures smooth operation and reliability.
Whether you are facing unpredictable climates or seeking a reliable, minimalist layer for your rides, the Q36.5 Gilet - Vest L1 Essential is engineered to meet those demands with precision. It delivers essential protection without sacrificing mobility or breathability, making it a must-have for serious cyclists who value performance and practicality.
Is the gilet suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the Q36.5 Gilet - Vest L1 Essential features a unisex design that fits comfortably across a wide range of body types.
Can I wear this vest over a long-sleeve jersey?
Absolutely. The vest is designed to layer seamlessly over jerseys, including the Short Sleeve L1 jersey, providing added protection without restricting movement.
