Graphene is one of those materials that gets thrown around a lot in product marketing, but Q36.5 actually does something meaningful with it. The Dottore Clima Jersey weaves graphene directly into the polyester yarn at the spinning stage, which gives the fabric inherent thermal conductivity rather than relying on a surface treatment that washes out over time. The result is a jersey that actively moves heat away from your skin instead of just letting air through. Q36.5 developed this fabric in their Dolomites facility, and the Dottore line sits at the top of their range as the brand's race-day piece.

At 105 grams, the Dottore Clima barely registers when you pull it on. The body-mapped construction uses minimal seams and a close, compressive fit that smooths out in the riding position. The sleeves use a laser-cut ribbed design that reduces aerodynamic drag while still providing enough coverage that you don't feel exposed. Q36.5 claims the graphene-polyester blend delivers 50% faster moisture transfer compared to standard polyester, and the fabric's antibacterial properties are permanent rather than applied, so they don't degrade with washing.

What makes the Dottore Clima genuinely unusual among hot-weather jerseys is that it maintains thermal protection on descents. Most featherweight jerseys force you to carry a vest for any meaningful downhill, but Q36.5 engineered the fabric density and weave structure so the jersey provides wind protection that keeps your core temperature stable when you stop pedaling and the airspeed picks up. That means one less thing stuffed in your pocket on days when the climbing is hot but the descending is cool.... Read More
