Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Alpi Camo Vest Info
The Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Alpi Camo Vest is a thermal cycling vest that Q36.5's Pro Cycling Team uses for racing and training. Q36.5 describes it as essential, low-volume thermal protection. It covers your core on cold starts and sheds heat as the day warms up, without the bulk of a jacket. At 160 grams in size M, it packs small.
Knitted Thermal Fabric Mapped to Airflow
The vest is made from a tightly knitted thermal fabric that covers the front, flanks, and back. Q36.5 says the knit follows the airflow over the body while you ride. The fabric is 80% polyester, 15% polyamide, and 5% elastane, so it stretches enough to stay close to the torso.
The back panel is extended, based on wind tunnel data, to block cold air around the torso. On a descent or a fast, exposed section, a longer back panel helps keep the cold off your lower back, which a short vest often leaves uncovered. Mesh panels in key areas dissipate heat to keep you from overheating on climbs.
Raw-Cut Edges and Traditional Fit
The arm openings and hem are raw and unhemmed. Q36.5 says this helps the vest sit smooth against the torso and cuts bulk when it is packed in a jersey pocket. The fit is what Q36.5 calls a traditional fit, more familiar than the closer cut of its Dottore range, with the same performance focus as the rest of the Gregarius line. Check the size chart on this page against your chest and waist measurements before ordering.
This colorway, Alpi Camo in Grisaille Blue, is made in Italy. The Gregarius Hybrid Alpi Camo Vest suits riders who want a light layer for cool-weather racing, training, and long days in the mountains where the temperature swings.
The RA Perspective
The Gregarius Hybrid Alpi Camo Vest is a thermal vest, not a wind vest. The fabric is a tight knit rather than a thin windproof shell, so it adds warmth to your core while staying small enough to stuff in a pocket. We would reach for it in the cool, unsettled range where a jacket is too much.
The extended back panel is the standout detail. Q36.5 based it on wind tunnel data, and it covers the lower back where many vests stop short. On a fast descent after a long climb, that coverage matters. The mesh panels give you somewhere to dump heat, though we have not tested how well they work on a long, hard effort.
The fit is more relaxed than Q36.5's race-cut pieces. It is less aggressive than the Dottore range, so you have some room for a baselayer. The raw-cut edges keep it from bunching, though they are a different look from a hemmed vest.
At $230 it is a premium vest for riders who want a layer they can wear for racing, training, and mountain rides. It makes the most sense for riders who regularly deal with temperature swings.
