Q36.5 Grid Skin Short Sleeve Jersey

The Q36.5 Grid Skin Short Sleeve Jersey is a road cycling jersey built around a concept most jerseys ignore entirely: what happens when you go down. Q36.5's GRDXKN Technology integrates a 4D-printed protective skin directly into the fabric, designed to distribute impact force and absorb energy during a crash. The result is a jersey that delays abrasion damage to the outer layer — and to the skin beneath it — without compromising the fit or feel you expect from a performance garment.

Beyond the protective layer, the Grid Skin is constructed from Q36.5's Pinstripe X fabric, a lightweight, highly breathable material that moves moisture away from the skin significantly faster than standard polyester. The cut is engineered to minimize seam count, reducing pressure points during long hours in the saddle. A seamless front panel and pre-shaped ergonomic geometry keep you locked into an aero position naturally — no bunching, no riding up. It's a jersey that works across long group rides, solo training blocks, and any situation where fit and protection need to coexist.

Design Benefits

1. Crash abrasion protection built into the jersey itself: The GRDXKN protective skin is 4D-printed directly onto the garment, not added as a separate layer. It's intended to distribute the force of a fall across a wider area, delaying fabric destruction and reducing the likelihood of road rash reaching your skin.
2. Thermoregulation without extra weight: Pinstripe X fabric is engineered to be lightweight and breathable, with moisture management designed to outpace conventional performance polyesters. You stay drier for longer — a meaningful advantage on warm weather rides or hard efforts where heat buildup compounds fatigue.
3. A fit that holds its position: The seamless front and pre-shaped cut are designed around the position you're actually riding in, not standing in. Fewer seams mean fewer opportunities for discomfort, and the ergonomic geometry keeps the jersey where it belongs — on long rides and race days alike.
