Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Racing Car Long Sleeve Jersey

The Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Racing Car Long Sleeve Jersey is a mid-season cold-weather jersey with a minimal graphic that Q36.5 says is inspired by performance sports car racing decals. Underneath the styling is a performance jersey built with fabrics Q36.5 describes as pro team-issue and aero-optimized, intended for cool training rides and races.

Body-Mapped Thermal Fabrics

Q36.5 builds the jersey from a proprietary mix of body-mapped fabrics, placing different materials where they do the most good. The goal is a balance of insulation, wind protection and breathability so you stay drier and more comfortable as effort rises and falls. The knit is tight enough to control wind, and the main fabric is a high-density microfleece that Q36.5 calls ultra breathable. A DWR treatment gives it protection against light rain, though it isn't a waterproof jersey.

Raglan Cut and Aero Sleeves

The sleeves are made from an aerodynamic thermal ribbed fabric. The jersey also uses a raglan cut, where the sleeves do not meet at the back. Q36.5 says this improves the rider's position on the bike and helps aerodynamics. In size M the jersey weighs 210 grams, which is light for a thermal layer.

Pockets and Visibility

Three rear pockets and a fourth zippered pocket hold food, a phone and small valuables. Q36.5 calls this an invisible pocket system, since the pockets are designed not to disrupt the jersey's clean look. Reflective elements add visibility in low light.

The jersey is made in Italy. It is offered here in Red and Winter Tarmac, in sizes XS through XXXL. Use the size chart on this page to compare your chest and waist measurements, since the cut is built to sit close to the body.

For fall and spring training, chilly group rides and early-season racing, the Racing Car jersey covers a lot of ground as a single layer. On very cold days or in sustained rain, you will want a base layer under it or a jacket over it.
