Proprietary woven fabric sits at the heart of what separates Q36.5 from most cycling apparel brands, and the Dottore Clima Bib Shorts are where that weaving expertise gets pushed toward its lightest, most open expression. Built from an ultralight shuttle-woven material developed in-house near the brand's Dolomites headquarters, the Clima takes the same ergogenic pattern and supportive structure found in the Dottore Pro and opens it up for dedicated hot-weather use. The result is a bib short that dries noticeably faster than the Pro while still delivering the graduated compression and muscular support that the Dottore line is known for.

Silver thread woven directly into the fabric's weft is one of the details that makes Q36.5's construction unusual. The silver provides antibacterial properties and thermal conductivity, helping move heat away from the skin rather than trapping it against the leg panels. Combined with the open structure across the thighs and lower legs, airflow through the Dottore Clima is significantly higher than what you get from a standard knit bib short. If you ride through July and August in conditions where even your lightest bibs feel heavy and saturated, this is the category the Clima was designed for.

The high-density lumbar panel deserves its own mention. Where most bib shorts focus compression on the quads and hamstrings, Q36.5 extends targeted compression across the lower back and glutes through a denser weave in that zone. That lumbar stabilization keeps your pelvis position consistent on the saddle, which matters most when fatigue sets in on long climbs and you start rocking side to side. It is a subtle feature, but riders who have dealt with lower back fatigue on 4-plus-hour rides will notice the difference.... Read More
