Crafted with precision using UF HybridShell fabric, the Q36.5 Essential Vest offers a unique blend of functionality and performance. This innovative material combines thermal, ribbed fleece with a high-density outer weave, delivering exceptional wind resistance akin to traditional soft shell fabrics. Despite its formidable protection, the vest maintains remarkable breathability, ensuring comfort during long rides. Riders will notice the difference, especially during extended descents, as the sweat-soaked jersey can easily wick moisture through the vest, promoting quick drying and enhanced comfort. Additionally, the fabric is treated for water resistance and accelerated drying, further enhancing its utility. Featuring two convenient slits, accessing the rear pockets of your jersey is effortless, adding to the vest's practicality on the road.
