Q36.5 Gregarius Essential Half Shorts - Womens Info

The Q36.5 Gregarius Essential Half Shorts - Womens are lightweight cycling shorts from Q36.5's Gregarius line, built around an ergonomic cut and a proprietary Fusion Chamois. Q36.5 lists size M at 140 g, which puts them at the light end of padded cycling shorts. They are made in Italy and designed for riders who want a simple, supportive pair of women's cycling shorts for regular riding.

Fabric and Cut

The fabric is 74% polyamide, 25% elastane and 1% silver. The elastane content gives the shorts their stretch, and Q36.5 pairs the ergonomic cut with muscle support, which the brand says is meant to avoid pressure points and friction. The brand lists breathability, UV protection, reflectivity and wind control among the shorts' technologies, and gives a Body Temperature Stability Guarantee of +64°F (about 18°C), so these lean toward warmer-weather riding.

Fusion Chamois

The pad is Q36.5's Fusion Chamois, a proprietary design. The chamois is where a short either works for you or does not, so it is worth trying a pair on a ride of your usual length. Q36.5 does not give thickness or construction details for this pad.

Sizing and Colors

Sizes run from XXS to XL at RA Cycles, and the shorts come in Black and Nautica Blue. Q36.5's size chart gives chest, waist and hip measurements, so check your own against it before ordering rather than relying on your usual size.

For riders who want a well-made, lightweight pair of women's cycling shorts from an Italian brand with a clear fit philosophy, the Essential Half Shorts are the straightforward option in Q36.5's Gregarius range.

The RA Perspective

The Essential Half Shorts are a no-fuss pair of women's cycling shorts from Q36.5's Gregarius line. The number that stands out is the weight: Q36.5 lists size M at 140 g, which is light.

The fabric is 74% polyamide with 25% elastane and a little silver, and Q36.5 describes an ergonomic cut with muscle support meant to avoid pressure points and friction. The pad is the Fusion Chamois. Q36.5 doesn't say much about its construction, so we would not claim more than that. If pad feel is the deciding factor for you, this is the part to test on a ride.

The Body Temperature Stability Guarantee is listed at +64°F, about 18°C, so think of these as shorts for mild to warm days rather than a cool-weather piece.

The tradeoff is the information. Q36.5 doesn't give the leg length or the pad details, and the size chart on their page doesn't match the sizes we carry, so check the measurements against the chart before ordering. One review we saw says they run small, which is another reason to measure.

At $220 they sit in the middle of Q36.5's women's shorts range. If you want a lightweight, Italian-made pair of shorts without a lot of extras, these are the ones we would suggest.
