Q36.5 Summer Jersey G1 LADY Womens Short Sleeve Jersey : Tropical

Season:SS19

Brand:Q36-5

Code:031LT

New for the Spring / Summer 2019 season and building on the company's existing collection of 'Team' jerseys (Vaccaboia! and Bolzano), the Tropical has been created by the Q36.5 Creative Art Laboratory to expand the company's designs to offer extravagant graphic jerseys that express the essence of Italian style, while maintaining the same sophistication and radical innovation as their fabrics and cuts. As with the Lady's Dragon jersey, the classical jersey construction has been updated with a new anatomical pre-shaped sleeve design for superior ergonomics.

New for the Spring / Summer 2019 season and building on the company's existing collection of 'Team' jerseys (Vaccaboia! and Bolzano), the Panama is a colourful additon to the range that takes over floral duties from the popular, but now retired, Flower Power. As with the predecessor, the classical jersey construction has been updated with a new anatomical pre-shaped sleeve design for superior ergonomics.

When Q36.5 first brought their innovative, proprietary cycle clothing to the market it was in the form of the L1 Essential collection; a range of key products indispensible for the committed cyclist.

Q36.5’s use of woven Polyamide formed the basis of these highly technical pieces and immediately set the brand apart from other mainstream lines. Polyamide offers a host of technical benefits that elevate it far above the more widely used Polyester – but it has one drawback, it can’t be printed on. As such, the L1 Essential summer jerseys use coloured yarn to inject style and the colour is solid over the entire garment.

Not wanting to stifle their creative side, Q36.5 released a small collection of  R1 jerseys manufactured from a blend of Polyester and Elastane that employed the company’s R&D surrounding Ergogenic patterns and cut and Regional Sweat Rate mapping. These pieces were adorned with playful and stylish all-over prints and quickly became extremely popular, most notably the Flower Power.

In the last year there have been a few additions and minor revisions but 2019 sees the company’s Creative Lab refresh both the cut and the designs.

The R1 jersey remains in the form of the Veloce Club Bolzano, Q36.5’s revised take on the traditional raglan sleeve jersey construction. For the bulk of the rest of the jerseys though, Q36.5 have revised the fabric and have introduced a new anatomic pre-shaped sleeve for improved fit, less flap and better ergonomics. 

The resultant jersey is the new G1.

The G1 jersey is constructed from two different fabrics placed strategically to benefit different parts of the torso. The sleeve and shoulder panels are made from a micro-perforated 110g polyester fabric, while the front and rear panels are made from a double-faced micro-polyester that optimises Q’s push-pull effect for better temperature and moisture control and combines it with a super fast drying time. The result is optimal moisture management, particularly during exertion. The jerseys have a softer feel than the original R1 thanks to the new blend of materials and this is an added tactile bonus.

If you have read the background to the company you will appreciate the Q36.5 approach to maintaining the optimal operating temperature of the human body. This focus means that Q36.5 jerseys and clothing are far more versatile than most of the other competing brands on the market. The Summer Jersey L1 for example, is designed to perform perfectly in temperature ranges of between 15 and 40oC.

This versatility stems in part from extensive Regional Sweat Rate (RSR) body mapping, whereby the rate of perspiration in different areas of the body is studied to help develop Q36.5’s unique fabrics and patterns. As such, the G1 summer jersey is breathable to varying degrees throughout its construction. This not only leads to optimised wicking for cooling purposes but also results in varying densities of fabric that results in lighter weight clothing. The Q36.5 G1 Summer Jersey offers extra comfort thanks to the slightly thicker and softer fabric which, while in no way comprising breathability, pulls the moisture away from the body far more efficiently than the paper-thin fabrics used in other true lightweight jerseys. This offers significantly greater protection to the body while riding long descents immediately after arduous climbs.

Like the R1 before it and the rest of the jersey range, The G1 jerseys feature Q36.5’s ergonomic fit as well as their proprietary invisible pocket system that dispenses with extraneous fabric and incorporates the pockets into the design of the jersey. Typical of the range, the G1 offers High UV protection (+50 SPF) and is finished with 3mm Cam-lock reflective zips for subtle safety detail, one of which secures the 4th 'valuables' pocket on the right hand side of the back panel.

The Short Sleeve G1 jersey is available in a host of new designs for 2019 – both men’s and women’s - and include Dragon, Panama, Lady Dragon and Tropical.

In terms of fit, the G1 is similar to that of the R1 though we have noticed that – because of the less flappy fit of the sleeves and a revised, slightly shorter cut – those of us close to borderline in sizes (close to it being too small) may wish to size up.  The benefits of the Q36.5 technologies stem from the closeness of the fit (see the Buyer’s guide below) and like much of the performance cycling clothing market, Q36.5 clothing is designed and cut to be worn in the cycling position. Q36.5 have taken this concept a little further than most and have developed a range of Ergogenic patterns. Such clothing is designed so that the panels and fabrics are tuned to support the muscle groups, they have a snug but unrestrictive fit which supports a balanced position to reduce fatigue.

As a huge fan of Q36.5, there isn't much - if anything in the range I haven't either worn or own!

As with all cycling apparel, in order to do its job effectively : keep you warm or cool, dry, comfortable and aero, it has to fit correctly. All too often we see riders in clothing that is far too big, flapping around or with gaping sleeves.

We get it, some people don't want to 'look silly' in tight fitting lycra - the stigma for many remains. To these folk I say consider this: most of those who'll be paying you any mind while you ride around will be other cyclists; they will almost certainly think you look silly if you're riding around in loose, ill-fitting kit! Besides, you want to get the best from your investment so who cares what people who aren't part of the cycling fraternity think - if it fits properly, it works the way it's designed to.

Q36.5 is highly technical kit; regionally sweat-mapped for optimum moisture management; ergogenic pattern cuts for best possible form-fitting and aerodynamics; not to mention the thermal conductivity that helps stabilise your body temperature, freeing up energy for riding. Fit is key and often at odds with your civvies.

We recommend purchasing and wearing your Q36.5 garment or shoes ‘true to size’ - if you are usually a Medium, purchase a Medium; 43.5 shoe then 43.5. However, when trying on a Q36.5 garment for the first time please keep in mind that cut and fit is designed for on the bike comfort and performance, indeed it is a pre-shaped cut meaning and the user may feel a minor degree of strain (eg. in the shoulder and chest area of the jersey / jacket or the bib short braces) when standing upright - this is totally normal and preferred, since you don't ride standing upright!

Try adopting a tucked, cycling position when trying kit on - all cycling clothing of any note is pre-shaped or cut in this position in order to deliver the technical benefits of the piece. When on the bicycle, any feeling of restriction should literally disappear and be replaced by a snug fit yet with excellent ease of movement, comfort and stability. With shoes, you want a small gap between your toes and the end of the shoe. As you ride, your feet swell and your arches collapse slightly causing your feet to 'creep'. Most of this movement is lateral but there is some longitudinal movement also. If your toes are at the end of the shoe to begin with - you will suffer with numbness and pain.

If you are ever unsure of sizing - maybe you have no frame of reference or you've tried 2 sizes and both seem to fit - the recommendation is to size down! Better to have your cycling kit tight than loose. Materials will give out slightly too and in the case of bibshorts, you want the pad firmly against you so you are stable in the saddle and so there is no rubbing of material or shifting of the pad - this only leads to bad places; saddle sores and ultimately, quicker wear in your kit.

If you are between sizes or already borderline on a size (close to it being too small), you may wish to size up one. Similarly, if you are not quite 'racing snake' and the size chart suggests you are a particular size - if you are close to the upper most extreme of that measure - you may wish to size up (it's how it works for me!).

For the latest seasons (2024 ->) there have been some changes to short leg length. In much the same way that the Pinstripe Pro (now Dottore Pro) jersey had an additional 2cm added for better overall fit, the Dottore and Unique bib shorts now have legs that are 2.5cm longer to better support the full length of the muscle. I would expect to see this creep into all shorts moving forward. Remember - there are rolling changes made where necessary during the 4 year development cycle of Q36.5 clothing.

There are also some changes to the structure of the range - at least in name. Collections are split by tech and fit: Democtratic Fit / GREGARIUS (Essentially KNITTED Fabrics with a more forgiving fit), Ergogenic Fit / DOTTORE (WOVEN Fabrics that fit close and are semi-compressive) and Skin Fit / UNIQUE (A small grouping, of UNIQUE Pro products that are second-skin). We separate them out in the menus on the site if it helps!

A note on socks : Q36.5 socks are supremely comfortable, easily the best I have ever owned. They last too and that feeling continues wash after wash where others become crisp and scratchy. If you are between sizes or unsure then I suggest you size down. There is plenty of stretch in Q36.5. With some models - notably the Be Love 0 and Be Love Seta - it is recommended that you cold-wash them before first use; they will shrink ever so slightly but not enough to warrant buying a size up.

Base layers are critical to the performance of anything you layer over the top. They should absolutely be a second skin or they don't do their job. If it fits like your favourite Sunday afternoon baggy T-shirt, bin it! Always buy the size that fits closest without any pinching under the arms or restriction at the cuff. Again, size down if you are unsure or between prescribed sizes. You may find that for the UK climate you can survive the winter in a short sleeve Q36.5 Base (Base Layer 2) - though this will depend on how you feel the cold. During summer, a base layer is still beneficial, helping to move moisture off the skin - where the temperature exceeds 24oC, you may find that a Clima or Dottore PRO jersey are fine next to the skin but both (and all other jerseys) will perform better when the Zero Mesh base layer is in play.

Get a Vest / Gilet! If you don't own one, this is the single piece of equipment that offers the broadest range of benefits. A good gilet offers wind protection on chilly mornings, late evenings, descents after hot and sweaty climbs and core protection in sudden downpours - it is virtually indispensible year round. Not sure where the weather will go an any given ride? Stuff it in a jersey pocket and your core will always be protected, extending the operating temperature of the rest of your outfit; be that in summer or winter.

Q36.5 make 5 key vests - one uniquely for potentially wet rides but that also serves to keep the wind off (R.Vest Protection); the all-round Vest L1 Essential that offers both thermal stability, insulation and weather protection; the new Air Vest, the ultimate in low bulk emergency wear that will keep the wind and showers from ruining your ride and that packs down incredibly small - it weighs just 69g; the new Adventure Insulation Vest developed for lower intensity and more adventurous forays off the beaten track in a design that weighs in at just 115g & packs away easily - and lastly the Woolf Bombardino - a versatile gilet that can serve as a layering piece or an external weather defense during rides in changeable conditions - it's small too, so ideal for summer trips to the mountains where temperature can vary sigificantly with elevation. Remember - the fit needs to be close, particularly when layering.

Be smart with your Q36.5 clothing. Wash it without softener at cold temps - preferably as soon as you get in from your ride. And use their Tech Wash - it will make your kit last longer and perform the way it is supposed to.

Sizing Information

We recommend purchasing and wearing your Q36.5 garment ‘true to size’ - if you are usually a Medium, purchase a Medium!

Exceptions to this are rare but recent style and cut changes to the patterned jerseys in the Q36.5 range have yielded some minor size changes. The original patterned R1 jerseys (eg Vaccaboia) that featured a Raglan sleeve cut, have now evolved into the G1 that features a new anatomical pre-shaped sleeve design for superior ergonomics. While the fit overall is improved, these G1 jerseys I find to be slightly shorter and a smidge tighter. If you are between sizes or already borderline on a size (close to it being too small), you may wish to size up one. Similarly, if you are not quite 'racing snake' and the size chart suggests you are a particular size - if you are close to the upper most extreme of that measure - you may wish to size up (it's how it works for me!)

The new R2 Jersey range is marginally more accommodating than the G1 but in most cases not enough to warrant a change in size - we recommend sticking to your 'normal' jersey sizing.

When trying on a Q36.5 garment for the first time please keep in mind that cut and fit is designed for on the bike comfort and performance and the user may feel a very minor degree of strain (eg. in the shoulder and chest area of the jersey or the bib short braces) when standing upright. When on the bicycle in a riding position this feeling will literally disappear and be replaced by excellent ease of movement, comfort and stability.
