Q36.5 Dottore Thermobolik Winter Skinsuit Info

The Q36.5 Dottore Thermobolik Winter Skinsuit is a one-piece winter cycling skinsuit that replaces the usual stack of jersey, jacket and bib tights. Q36.5 designed it for cold-weather riding without the bulk of layering, and it keeps the race-oriented cut the Italian brand is known for. The goal is warmth you don't have to manage: no seams at the waist, no flapping layers, and no extra pressure in the riding position.

Three fabrics, each with a job

The suit combines three of Q36.5's proprietary materials. UF Air Insulation sits in the shoulders and sleeves to build a warm interior layer. Over the shoulders and sleeves, UF Hybrid Shell Plus, a high-density elastic woven fabric, protects the exterior from wind and weather. In the side panels and long legs, UF Thermo Plus has a "Heat Fiber" inner face that Q36.5 says draws in far-infrared rays to help warm the body. The overall composition is 45% polyamide, 35% polyester, 13% elastane, 5% polyurethane and 2% silver.

Removable wind membrane

When the temperature drops or the wind picks up, a wind membrane fastens across the chest with three magnetic buttons. When you don't need it, it stows in an invisible pocket on the shoulder, so you can adjust to changing conditions without stopping to carry a separate vest. Q36.5 also includes lightweight hidden pockets for small items such as an ID, phone or gels, and a waistband with added protection for the abdomen.

Fit and visibility

Q36.5 describes the fit as race-oriented without sacrificing insulation, and the suit is cut so you don't need extra layers underneath in its intended range. For low-light winter rides, two reflective bands follow the upper body, with additional 4D-printed reflective details on the shoulders, arms and back. At 650 g in size M, it is a substantial garment, but it replaces what would otherwise be several pieces.

The Dottore Thermobolik is Q36.5's winter skinsuit, made for riders who train through the winter and want one piece that handles it. It is available in black in sizes XXS through XXL, and the sizing chart below the product options helps you choose by chest, waist, height and weight.

The RA Perspective

This is a very specialized piece of kit, and at $1,140 it is priced accordingly. The appeal is simplicity. You pull on one garment, zip up and go, with no decisions about base layers, jackets or whether your bibs overlap properly at the waist. For riders who spend winter on the trainer-adjacent side of things, doing structured rides outside in the cold, that convenience is what you are paying for.

The Thermobolik is built to be worn close to the body, so sizing matters. Use Q36.5's chart and think about whether you plan to wear a base layer. One customer review on Q36.5's site, from a rider at 185 cm and 86 kg in a size L, reports it being very warm down to about 35°F with nothing underneath. Treat that as one data point, not a rating.

The tradeoffs are fairly clear. A skinsuit is an all-or-nothing garment, so you cannot swap the top for a lighter layer if the day warms up, though the removable wind membrane gives you some adjustment. Nature breaks are also more involved than with separate bibs and a jacket. And the price is a lot to ask for a single-season item.

It suits riders who ride hard in cold, dry-to-damp conditions and prefer a close, race-oriented fit. If you are an all-day, stop-and-start winter rider, separates will likely serve you better. We would reach for this on a cold, fast training ride where staying tucked and unencumbered matters.
