Q36.5 Rain Shell Jacket
Q36.5 Rain Shell Jacket Info
The Q36.5 Rain Shell Jacket is a lightweight cycling rain jacket built to be worn for a whole ride in wet weather and packed into a back pocket when the sky clears. It weighs 120 g in size M, and Q36.5 designed it for long rides in the rain and days when the forecast can't be trusted.
Fabric and waterproofing
The jacket uses a proprietary three-layer material: a high-density woven outer face of 7-denier nylon, backed by a hydrophobic polyamide membrane. Q36.5 rates the membrane at a 20,000 mm water column, and the overall composition is 75% polyamide and 25% polyurethane. The seams are fully taped, which Q36.5 describes as expert Italian hand-taped construction. Taped seams matter on a jacket like this, because stitching is where water gets in. The membrane is also designed to breathe, so you can wear the jacket from start to finish without moisture building up inside.
Collar, closure and fit
The collar is made from two materials. The inner layer is soft against skin or a high-collared jersey, while the outer layer uses the same waterproof fabric as the rest of the jacket. Q36.5 calls it a hermetic collar and says it forms an airtight seal against the neck when fully zipped, which is where a lot of rain jackets let water run down. The zipper is water repellent. At the waist and hem, a dual-level elastic holds the jacket in place: the upper elastic sits at the waist and a lower grippy elastic keeps the hem from riding up. The cut is made for the riding position rather than for walking around.
Visibility and packing
A reflective logo and reflective rear inserts add visibility on the road in poor light. The jacket packs down small enough to carry in a jersey back pocket, which suits rides where rain is possible but not certain.
Q36.5 offers the Rain Shell Jacket in Black, Ice Grey, Nautica Blue and Poppy Orange, and the size chart on this page lists chest, waist, height and weight for each size to help you choose. It is a good fit for riders who want a dedicated shell they can leave in a pocket until they need it.
