Q36.5 Dottore Pro Bib Shorts - Womens

The Q36.5 Dottore Pro Bib Shorts - Womens are the Italian brand's supportive road bib cut for women. Q36.5 builds the Dottore line for performance-driven women riders, with a fit designed to give the legs firm support over long hours in the saddle.

The bib is made from four proprietary woven fabrics. The leg panels use a high-density woven material with gradual compression along the leg, which Q36.5 says provides muscular support, comfort and stability on the bike. In practice that means a firm, close feel rather than a loose one, with the panels meant to hold the muscles steady over long distances. Q36.5 also lists silver yarn in the leg panels, which the brand says is intended to counter electrical charges the body produces during exercise. That is a manufacturer claim, and the real difference you will notice is the fit.

The pad is Q36.5's patented Q LAB Air Chamois, which Q36.5 says offers comfort and moisture management. On a long ride, a chamois that handles moisture well matters more as the hours go on.

The fit is Q36.5's supportive road fit, and the size chart on the page lists chest, waist and hip measurements for each size. Check your measurements against it before ordering, as a compressive bib depends on getting the size right.

The Dottore Pro Bib Shorts for women come in Black, Drab Green, Nautica Blue and Tarmac. They suit road riders who want a bib with a close, supportive fit for long rides and racing. For the hot summer months, check the rest of the Q36.5 range for lighter options.
