Q36.5 Gregarius Pro QLAB Jersey - Womens

The Q36.5 Gregarius Pro QLAB Jersey - Womens is a short sleeve cycling jersey built around ventilation. Q36.5 makes it in Italy from a proprietary mesh knit, and the goal is a light feel on the bike when the temperature climbs. The graphic design references the body heat map sensors and heat zone mapping that Q36.5 uses in its QLAB research lab to study how to keep a rider at an optimum body temperature.

A mesh knit with a 3D structure

The main fabric is a proprietary mesh knit. Q36.5 says it creates an almost imperceptible 3D structure across the torso, which is designed to improve both ventilation and moisture transfer. The brand describes the fabric as lightweight and soft on the skin. Because the structure is so subtle, you are unlikely to notice it as texture. The effect shows up as airflow and a drier feel once you start working.

Honeycomb back and push-pull moisture control

The back panels use a honeycomb mesh pattern. Q36.5 designed it to encourage a push-pull effect, which keeps moisture from building up while moving sweat to the outer layer of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly. The back is where most riders sweat first in a forward riding position, so this panel is the part of the jersey doing the most work on a hard climb or a hot afternoon.

Ribbed raglan sleeves and mesh pockets

The raglan sleeves use the same ribbed, aerodynamic fabric as the Gregarius Pro Jersey. The ribbed material follows the curvature of the arms to improve the jersey's aerodynamic properties. The rear pockets are made of mesh, and Q36.5 says they are exclusive to this model. They add to the jersey's overall feeling of lightness, so it is worth knowing they will feel different from the pockets on a heavier jersey when you load them.

Fit and colors

This is a women's jersey, available in Gazzetta Pink and Light Blue on Q36.5's site. Check our size chart before ordering, since a performance jersey like this one is cut to fit close to the body.

The Q36.5 Gregarius Pro QLAB is a good choice for women who want a lightweight, well-ventilated road jersey for warm-weather rides and long summer days.
