Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Alpi Camo Vest

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.

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.
