Q36.5 Dottore Clima Bib Shorts - Womens Info
The Q36.5 Dottore Clima Bib Shorts - Womens are the warm-weather version of Q36.5's Dottore line, a women's cycling bib short made from an ultra-lightweight woven fabric and aimed at hot-weather road and gravel riding. The brand's name refers to normal human body temperature, and keeping riders at that temperature is what the Clima is built for. Q36.5 says it designed the shorts to improve fit and thermoregulation in the heat of high summer.
A more open fabric for hot days
The Dottore Clima uses a proprietary woven fabric that Q36.5 describes as more open and faster drying than the one used in the Dottore Pro, which is why the Clima is the one to wear when temperatures climb. Silver thread is woven into the weft, which Q36.5 says helps the fabric dry faster and gives it antibacterial properties. A lumbar support panel in a high-density woven fabric supports the lower back and glutes, which is where long days in a bent-over riding position tend to wear on you. The fit is described as ultra-supportive, so expect a snug, compressive feel rather than a loose one. The shorts are women-specific, and there are no pockets, so you carry what you need in your jersey.
Sizes run from XXXS to L on the size chart, with waist measurements from 56cm to 80cm and hips from 82cm to 106cm. Check your own measurements against the chart before ordering, as the cut is meant to fit close. The Dottore Clima sits in Q36.5's women's range as the lightest option for summer riding, so it suits riders who race or train hard in heat, take long road days, or ride gravel where it's warm and the miles pile up. For cooler conditions, the denser Dottore Pro is the better choice.
The RA Perspective
The Dottore Clima is the lightest bib short in Q36.5's women's range, and it is built for one job: riding when it is hot. The fabric is more open than the Dottore Pro, and Q36.5 says it dries faster, which matters on long summer rides where sweat is the main problem.
The fit is the other thing to know about. Q36.5 describes it as ultra-supportive, and the lumbar panel is designed to support the lower back and glutes. If you prefer a relaxed bib, this is a snug one. Check the size chart carefully, especially the hip measurements, which run from 82cm on the XXXS to 106cm on the L. If you are between sizes, ask us before ordering.
There are tradeoffs. There are no pockets, so everything goes in your jersey or a saddle bag. At $400 this is a premium short, and a lighter fabric is the main thing you are paying for, so it makes the most sense for riders who spend a lot of time riding in summer heat. For cooler mornings or shoulder-season rides, the Dottore Pro is the more sensible short.
It is best for riders who race, train or ride long days in warm weather, on the road or on gravel. We would reach for it on a hot weekend century or a summer group ride where staying cool matters more than anything else.
