Q36.5 Air Bra

The Q36.5 Air Bra is a women's cycling base layer from Q36.5, the Italian brand based in Bolzano. Q36.5 developed it to give light support on long rides, and it is built around breathability and moisture transfer rather than heavy structure. It is made in Italy and comes in black or white.

Fabric and temperature control

Q36.5 describes the Air Bra as made from a laser-perforated polyamide fabric tuned to the body's perspiration rate. The aim is to help you keep a stable temperature across a range of conditions and effort levels, from an indoor trainer session to a summer climb in the Alps. The fabric is listed as 76% polyamide 6.6 and 14% elastane, and the shape is body-mapped so the breathable zones sit where moisture builds up. Q36.5 calls the result exceptionally breathable and quick-drying.

Support and fit

The material is ultra-soft and pre-shaped, and Q36.5 designed it to provide light compression without unwanted pressure or squeezing. Secure straps hold the bra in place, and Q36.5 describes the cut as comfortable and non-restrictive in the saddle.

Sizes run XS to L. Q36.5 fits by bust and underbust: XS-S covers a 78-88cm bust and 62-72cm underbust, and M-L covers a 89-99cm bust and 73-83cm underbust. Measure the widest part of your bust and just under it before choosing.

The Air Bra suits riders who want a light, breathable base layer for long days on the bike and indoor sessions where heat and moisture are the main concerns.
