Q36.5 Tri Sleeveless Skinsuit

The Q36.5 Tri Sleeveless Skinsuit is a one-piece triathlon skinsuit made in Italy. It is the sleeveless option in Q36.5's tri range, sitting alongside the Tri Short Sleeve Skinsuit, and comes in black in sizes XXS through XXL. Q36.5 describes it as built from sustainable, award-winning fabrics and engineered for top-level performance on the bike.

A one-piece suit removes the waistband overlap and seam stack you get with a separate top and shorts, which is the practical reason triathletes and time trialists favor them. Going sleeveless leaves the shoulders and arms open, a common choice for warm-weather racing and for athletes who prefer to manage arm coverage separately.

Q36.5's approach to temperature

Q36.5 builds its clothing around thermoregulation. The name refers to the brand's aim of helping the body hold a stable 36.5°C, and the company makes its garments in Italy, within a short radius of its Bolzano headquarters. That background carries through to the Tri range, which is aimed at riders who want race-oriented kit from a smaller European brand rather than a larger apparel house.

Sizing and fit

Because a skinsuit fits torso and legs together, sizing deserves more care than a jersey or a pair of bibs. Q36.5 lists chest, waist, height and weight for each size. As a reference point, a size M corresponds to a 96 cm (37.5 in) chest, 84 cm (33 in) waist and a height of 174 to 179 cm (about 5 ft 9 in to 5 ft 10.5 in). Check your own measurements against the full chart before ordering. Q36.5 also notes that it can provide special leg lengths for some equipment through its contact page.

The Tri Sleeveless Skinsuit suits triathletes and time trial riders who want a single-piece, made-in-Italy race suit from Q36.5.
