This is going up there with Chainsmith's all time favourite jersey designs. Not quite floral, the Ginkgo is an incredible plant as old as the dinosaurs dating back to about 298.9 million to 251.9 million years ago. Don't believe us? Read more from Britannica.
More to the point we've unlocked a secret from Q36.5. Because we know Gingko, like the garments they decorate here, are good for circulation. Aside from many listed medicinal uses, Gingko is a vasodilator and dilates blood vessels. A vasodilator affects the muscles in the walls of your arteries and veins, preventing the muscles from tightening and the walls from narrowing. As a result, blood flows more easily through your vessels.
Ah, now it all makes sense for cycling! Team it with the Unique Bib Shorts and you've a complete kit driven to perform beyond any competitor in the aims to enhance your ride experience.
Most important is that this design is fresh, race ready and styled to ride.
The G1 2.0 jersey is constructed of two different strategically placed fabrics that specifically benefit different parts of the torso:
Q36.5 have been working to improve and expand in this area and the results show in the new, more extravagant graphic jerseys that express the essence of Italian style yet maintain the same sophistication and radical innovation as is found in Q36.5 fabrics and pattern cuts.

As jerseys go, we believe this is likely the finest women’s performance jersey made. Aero, comfortable, and balancing function and form means a proprietary design and specific fabric selection for a soft touch over the shoulders and a firm backing to pockets.
The arm gripper have enough hold to keep the jersey perfectly in place without bulging or binding.
The result is a jersey that performs at very high value
Composition: 86% Recycled Polyester / 14% Elastane

CONCEPT is designed to fit like a second skin. The fabrics are very flexible, yet it’s important to consider that this jersey will fit tight.

At Chainsmith we value products that stand ahead of the crowd. We choose brands on the basis of quality, technical innovation, practicality and performance.
Unlike other brands that serve current fashion with seasonally changing prints, Q36.5 look further ahead to create apparel for the future of cycling. New technically advanced designs are produced on a 4 year basis. Thats a sign of both quality and commitment.
The all new Q36.5 Womens X Collection has arrived at Chainsmith and we're more then excited.
We hear you. Women should not be treated like second class cyclists. Why should men get the technical advantage while women get designs more like after thoughts?
The Pinstripe X series is for women who take cycling seriously. Challenging yourself on the bike doesn't require kit to suit a fashion show. It requires robust, performance driven fabrics that stretch and act to better your riding.
Q36.5 uses a "smart" fabric of specific use in a Womens' cut for the ergonomic demands of active riders. This is a versatile and smart piece, compact and light that reacts to the body and changing environments.
Jersey L1 Pinstripe, the new generation:
The fabric is completely new, made with micro-polyester filaments structured into a 3-dimensional surface that results in increased moisture management thanks to both the push-pull natural construction and the selectively chosen fibres. All together this makes the jersey very responsive in variable environmental conditions. The UF Lx Fabric offers quick drying times, it’s 50% faster than any other polyester fabric.
The textural quality of the fabric surface and the new L1 cut does away with front seams, increasing this jersey's aerodynamic quality when moving at speeds between 40 – 59km/h.
This new cycling short sleeve jersey is an outcome of our thermoregulation R&D project and is a stellar example of our successful research.
An Ergogenic Pattern garment has been designed in such a way as that all panels and fabrics are tuned to support specific musculature groups during sporting activity. Garments designed with Ergogenic Patterns will be distinguished by their extremely snug but not constrictive feel and increased stability during the pedalling motion, as the fabric, cut and panel alignment support a balanced position and accordingly reduce muscular fatigue on longer or more intense rides.
The introduction of the silver thread may be understood as a further fine-tuning of the fabric’s original raison d’être in which the extraordinary natural properties of this material are carefully exploited in a performance-wear context. When activity becomes intense and the body emits an excess of heat and moisture with must be dealt with through conduction, evaporation and convection, the fabric instead benefits from silver’s high thermal conductivity. The pure silver thread’s greatest performance advantage is not given by its anti-bacterial or conductive qualities but by it qualities of protection from electrostatic and magnetic interference (the so-called “electrosmog” pollution of electromagnetic radiation resulting from wireless technology and mains electricity). The protection offered by the silver thread from these waves allow the active muscles to operate with less “distractions”, further refining the ergogenic function of Q36.5’s high density woven fabrics.
Unique pocket patch design which does away with clumsy extra panel of fabric used in all other jerseys, instead integrating the containers into the jersey pattern itself. 3 equally large pockets plus 1 extra zip pocket. This feature accentuates the essentialism and minimalist aesthetic of Q36.5 jersey and jacket designs and offers a minor aerodynamic advantage.

Muggy mid summer. Desert high heat. Unbearable hotness. This is the jersey that goes beyond any other. Constructed using two fabrics, the secret of the Radiator comes from Polartec’s proprietary Delta fabric that, true to its name, turns the jersey into a radiator for riding. 3D knit mesh construction is used with Tencel, a sustainable fibre derived from wood cellulose with a similar hand feel to bamboo.
The result is unrivalled comfort in the hottest days of the cycling season.
Ultralight weight and super soft hand feel give this jersey an almost t-shirt like quality, yet still provides a supportive and streamlined fit for on the bike performance.
When nothing else can keep you cool, the Radiator Mesh Jersey is proven to be cooler than no jersey at all. Pick the hottest day. Pedal through it.
