Q36.5 Product Guides

As folks who have been around for a while in this space, it is very apparent just how much cycling kit is available to consumers. For many, the tech matters little and it's all about the look, the label and the desire to be a part of the tribe. That's fine for the most part, when temperatures are stable and the sun is shining - but if you want the best from yourself, you need cycling kit that will support you physically through your exertions and that will support your goals, while saving you not only watts, but energy and cash.

In the transitional periods between seasons, in the Winter or simply if you are riding and racing at altitude - tech becomes far more important and the current 'on-point' label might leave you at a physical and performance disadvantage. Similarly, dedicated cyclists honing their race craft in the rain and cold (that's where the real skills are polished) will want to do that with the least physical discomfort they can, while still retaining a performance boost if they also compete or push themselves in those same conditions.

Good kit costs money, because good kit is backed by the research. But - by the same token, good kit will last. This is especially true for off-season, Winter or transitional kit that sees less use than the spring-summer collections. It's presumably why you're reading a guide on Q36.5 as they are the tip of the cycling apparel spear. Fact.

So how do you make sure that your spend is wise?

Well, that's what we're here for. 700 were the first Q36.5 cycling clothing retailer in the UK. We've seen the development and growth of the company and its ranges over the last decade plus, and we still think it is very hard to beat Q product from a technical and human performance enhancing perspective. The advent of the Q36.5 Pro Team - now partnered with Pinarello - has pushed that development further, faster and has resulted in an expanded range that can confuse.

So we've put together some brief guides on key aspects of the Q36.5 Ranges to help you make smart decisions and get the most from your riding, save money long term, and perform at your best.
