New cycling jerseys and shorts from Italy: Q36.5 presents its 2026 summer collection

The Italian Clothing manufacturer Q36.5 from Bolzano develops over 70 per cent of its fabrics internally. The materials are designed to keep the body at the target temperature of 36.5 degrees Celsius. The new SS2026 collection includes updated versions of the Dottore Pro and Gregarius Pro jerseys as well as the corresponding bib shorts. The Pinarello - Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team uses the clothing and provides feedback for product development.

Dottore Pro jersey and bib shorts

The Dottore Pro Jersey uses a proprietary 3D fabric with woven-in silver thread. The cut of the men's version is based on time trial skinsuits and has no visible front seams. The women's version uses the same materials with a customised cut. The jersey costs 180.00 euros and is available in sizes XS to XXXL for men and XS to XL for women. New colours are Check Orange, Poppy Orange, Drab Green and Nautica Blue.

The Dottore Pro bib shorts use a two-layer Q Lab Air seat pad and a four-zone construction. The integrated silver thread is said to have an antibacterial effect and reduce muscle fatigue. Tom Pidcock says: "I've never had a pair of bib shorts that have lasted me through a whole season. The Dottore Pro offer constant comfort, reduce friction in the saddle area and retain their technical properties even with frequent use." The bib shorts cost 250.00 euros >> available at Bobshop.

Gregarius Pro jersey and bib shorts

The Gregarius Pro jersey uses three different fabrics in a body mapping system. The sleeve material has a 6 mm ribbed structure. The men's version is available in the Big Logo, Collar Fade and Team Gelato versions. The women's version offers the QLab and Weathermap versions with ultra-light mesh fabrics. The jersey costs 140.00 euros and is available, for example available from Bobshop in six colours: Lava Red, Fluo Yellow, Nautica Blue, Poppy Orange, White and Black.

The Gregarius Pro bib shorts share key components with the Dottore Pro, including bibs, lumbar panel and the QLab Air seat pad. The knitted leg pattern is water-repellent and quick-drying. David de la Cruz explains: "I use the Gregarius Pro for training - they are reliable and versatile, like a set of wheels you wouldn't want to be without." The bib shorts cost 200.00 euros and are available in the new colours Gravel Grey, Check Grey, Poppy Orange and Drab Green. available here.
