Oakley and Q36.5? You can’t really make this stuff up. The pair are like two peas in a (performance) pod: obsessed with innovation, hyper-focused on technological design and lovers of lightweight layers — and their latest drop is one for all you cyclists out there.

With the “Q” acting as a sci-fi nod to the research lab in James Bond, and 36.5°C a reference to our body’s ideal temperature, cycling brand Q36.5 is no stranger to merging the worlds of science and design (and obviously with Oakley in tow, you’re in for a treat).

This capsule collection is the second chapter in Oakley’s collaboration with Q36.5, where comfort and thermoregulation are front and centre. The drop couldn’t have come at a better time for those whose summer plans involve a high-intensity cross-country ride.

Designed to enhance performance, the pieces guarantee that you stay cool and comfy even in the most challenging outdoor conditions. The hot-weather jersey uses Graphene-Yarn technology for extra breathability and an aerodynamic fit, while the Bib Shorts (with their special chamois insert) compress your muscles to reduce fatigue on those gruelling tracks that make you wonder why you even left your sofa in the first place.

And it’s not just the apparel that’s got you sorted, but the footwear and accessories too. The road cycling shoes, Clima socks and gloves mean you can say bye bye to sweaty feet and hands, and hello to supported movement and thermoregulation. Cycling just got cooler — in more ways than one.
