Q36.5 BASE LAYER 2 SHORTSLEEVE ANTRACITE

$156.00

Exploiting the possibilities of cutting-edge Karl Mayer Seamless knitting machines, Q36.5 has developed a technologically extreme vision of the traditional seamless base layer.

Even riders who are already familiar with high performance seamless base layers will immediately be able to notice the new feeling introduced in this product.

Most notably:

Significantly greater elasticity and lower resistance to movement in all directions, given by the Karl Mayer machine’s ability to construct multiple tubes without any seams (most ‘sleeveless’ base layers still nevertheless are technologically obliged to be sewn around the armhole, for example). The removal of all seams (with the exception of two short joining stitches at the shoulders) obviously also greatly increases the comfort of as tight-fitting a garment as a base layer.
A much tougher and less fragile lightweight material, since unlike other seamless machines Karl Mayer machines are able to develop a true rip-proof mesh. The base layer’s fabric is left un-hemmed, which further removes stitching from the garment: in fact it can be cut and modified as the user wishes, without compromising the durability of the product and no risk of unraveling threads.
The ‘honey-comb’ pattern of the knit is deployed in various different densities, along with open-mesh sections, mapping the thermal requirements and regional sweat rates of an athlete’s body. Not only does this allow for the best rider comfort and protection, it also allows for the volume of the product to be significantly reduced where possible.

The result is a startlingly pure and minimal base layer.

Weight is 87g (result of the design, not an objective) and is best used above 15°C.

Q36.5 WOMENS JERSEY PINSTRIPE X NAVY

$285.00

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.

Cycling jersey short sleeve L1 Woman Pinstripe X NAVY

The all new Q36.5 Womens X Collection has arrived at Chainsmith and we're more then excited.

"This is a versatile and smart piece, compact and light"

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?

Q36.5 is changing that.

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:

New pattern cut with minimal use of seams
Revolutionary 3-dimensional Fabric – delivering a 50% quicker drying time.

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.

Technical Features :

ERGOGENIC PATTERN

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.

SILVER THREAD

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.

INVISIBLE POCKET SYSTEM

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.
