Founded in Bolzano, Italy, in 2013 by Luigi Bergamo, the former head of R&D at Assos, Q36.5 operates as a research laboratory for high-performance cycling apparel. The brand’s name reflects its core mission: 'Q' for 'Quaerere' (Latin for research) and '36.5' for the ideal body temperature in Celsius, which its products are engineered to maintain. The brand is defined by its obsessive focus on proprietary high-tech fabrics, ergonomic patterning, and a minimalist, function-driven style. Key innovations include the award-winning 'UNIQUE' bib shorts, which are the world's first seamless, 3D-woven ergogenic bibs.
