Q36.5 Dottore Hybrid Bib Tights - Womens
Q36.5 Dottore Hybrid Bib Tights - Womens Info
The Q36.5 Dottore Hybrid Bib Tights - Womens are an ultralight pair of cycling bib tights built for the cool-weather window between summer bibs and full winter insulation. Q36.5 gives them a Body Temperature Stability Guarantee of +5°C to +15°C (41°F to 59°F) and describes the range as exceptionally wide. That puts them in the spring and autumn ride, or the mild winter day, where full thermal tights run too warm and shorts with leg warmers feel like a compromise.
Pattern and Fabric
Q36.5 describes the pattern as truly minimalist, with no frontal facing seams, and says it has been refined over ten years. The brand also says the tights share the ergogenic, supportive feel of its Dottore Pro bib shorts, so the fit is meant to be close and unfussy rather than bulky. The fabric blend is 62% polyamide, 35% elastane, 2% silver and 1% carbon fibre. The high elastane content accounts for the stretch, and size M weighs 170 g, which is very light for a full-length bib tight.
Q36.5 files the Dottore Hybrid under wind control and lists breathability, water repellency, insulation, UV protection, reflectivity and muscle support among its technologies. The brand describes the tights as keeping you warm and dry on cool rides.
Q-Lab Air Chamois
The pad is the Q-Lab Air Chamois, in a women's version. Q36.5 describes stitching that lets two separate layers move independently to adapt to the rider's position, and says the open-air construction reduces the friction usually caused by stitching and material overlap. For a bib you may wear for several hours at a stretch, the chamois is where the comfort is decided. This one is built around keeping the pad from bunching or rubbing as you move on the bike.
Sizing and Colors
The Dottore Hybrid Bib Tights - Womens are made in Italy and come in sizes XS to L, with Q36.5's chart giving chest, waist and hip measurements for each size. Check your hip and waist against the chart before ordering, since the cut is meant to sit close. Colors available are Black, Ice Grey, Storm Grey and Supersonic Check.
If you ride through the shoulder seasons and want one pair of bib tights that covers a wide spread of cool-weather days, this is where Q36.5's Hybrid line is aimed.
