Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Collar Fade Long Sleeve Jersey

The Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Collar Fade Long Sleeve Jersey is a mid-season cold-weather cycling jersey for riders who want warmth and wind protection without a full jacket. Q36.5 builds it in Italy, within a short distance of its Bolzano headquarters, from body-mapped fabrics that balance insulation, wind protection and breathability. The aim is to keep you comfortable on cold training rides without overheating or going damp.

Wind Control and Light Rain Protection

The jersey uses a tightly knit construction meant to block wind while still letting moisture out. The high-density microfleece has a DWR water-repellent finish, which Q36.5 describes as protection from light rain only. It handles drizzle and road spray, but it is not a rain jacket. Retailers list the fabric as 90% polyester, 5% elastane, 4% polyamide and 1% silver, and the jersey weighs about 210 grams in size M.

Cut and Pockets

The sleeves use a thermal ribbed fabric and a raglan cut, so the sleeves do not join at the back of the shoulder. Q36.5 says this improves position on the bike and aerodynamics. It is a close, race-oriented fit. Reviewers describe the chest and neck fit as good but the sleeves as snug, so riders with longer arms should check the size chart before ordering. The chart on this page lists chest, waist and height for each size from XS to XXXL.

The jersey has three rear pockets plus a fourth zippered pocket for valuables, along with reflective details for low light. Q36.5 calls the pocket system invisible, meaning the pockets sit flat when empty rather than breaking up the line of the jersey.

Where It Fits

The Gregarius Hybrid Collar Fade suits cold spring and autumn mornings, club rides and steady winter training days when a jacket would be too warm. In the coldest weather, you will want a base layer under it or a heavier jacket over it. It comes in Black and Nautica Blue. At $260 it is priced as a premium jersey, and the fabrics, the cut and the Italian construction are what account for that.
