Q36.5 Tri Short Sleeve Skinsuit Info
The Q36.5 Tri Short Sleeve Skinsuit is a one-piece triathlon skinsuit built for hot-weather racing. Q36.5 describes it as a single aero-enhanced garment that combines its 105 g Dottore Clima Jersey with the Dottore Clima Bib Shorts, the brand's lightest woven bib shorts to date. Q36.5 makes it in Italy from its high-density woven fabric, and the medium weighs 180 g.
Fabric and Body Mapping
Each panel and seam is placed for a specific part of the body. The torso front uses a very light, stretchy material with yarns Q36.5 developed to help dissipate heat. The back of the torso uses the brand's Graphene Yarn Technology, which Q36.5 designed to lower body temperature. Real silver thread is woven into the fabric for its antibacterial properties and to help reduce muscle fatigue, according to Q36.5.
The main fabric is 59% polyamide 6.6, 36% elastane, 4% Dyneema polyethylene and 2% silver. It gives gradual compression, which Q36.5 intends to stimulate blood flow and support the muscles through a long effort.
Built for the Swim, Bike and Run
The ribbed fabric is meant to reduce drag while leaving the arms and shoulders free to move. There are no seams on the shoulders or under the armpits, so nothing rubs during the swim leg. The sleeves give the suit a short-sleeve cut rather than the sleeveless format used elsewhere in Q36.5's tri range.
The TRI C-Interface is Q36.5's proprietary pattern, made with a Dyneema panel that adds durability and, thanks to the conductive properties of polyethylene fibers, helps with thermoregulation. The TRI chamois uses hydrophobic foams that resist absorbing water, so the pad dries quickly after the swim and stays comfortable on the bike.
Where It Fits
Q36.5 positions this skinsuit for racing and also for hot daily riding, so it works as a race-day suit and as a lightweight summer kit. It comes in black, in sizes XXS to XXL. Check the size chart before ordering, because a one-piece suit fits the torso and legs together.
The RA Perspective
The first thing to note is how little there is to this suit. At 180 g in a medium, it is closer to a jersey than to a full tri kit, and the woven fabric reads as technical rather than flashy. Q36.5 builds the jersey half from the same fabric as its 105 g Dottore Clima Jersey, and the shorts half from its lightest woven bibs.
The design choices make sense for a triathlon. There are no seams on the shoulders or under the arms, and the chamois is hydrophobic, so it should dry quickly after the swim. Q36.5 claims the graphene yarn on the back helps manage heat. It is a brand claim we can't test on our own, so treat it as intent rather than a guarantee.
There are tradeoffs. A one-piece suit commits you to a single size through the torso and legs, so use the size chart and think about how your build splits between the two. It also costs $600 and comes only in black, which is a lot for a suit you may wear only on race day. Q36.5 does say it works as an everyday summer kit, which helps justify it.
We'd point this suit at triathletes and time-trial riders racing in warm conditions who want low weight and a clean fit. For cooler days or long training rides, a standard jersey and bib combination is more practical.
