Q36.5 Air Jacket

Q36.5 Air Jacket Info
The Q36.5 Air Jacket is a lightweight cycling wind jacket made in Italy. Q36.5 designed it to protect against wind and light rain, and to keep riders comfortable in changeable weather through the year. It weighs 90 g in a medium, and the brand lists it as a four-season layer.
Fabric and Weather Protection
The jacket is cut from a high-density stretch woven fabric, made of 80% polyamide, 10% elastane and 10% polyurethane. A durable water repellent (DWR) treatment on the surface is meant to shed light rain. It is not a waterproof shell, so think of it as protection for a passing shower rather than a long wet ride.
Q36.5 says the tight weave also gives wind protection on fast descents and in high-altitude terrain. The fabric has some insulating effect while staying light, according to the brand, which makes it useful for a cool start or a long drop off a climb.
Packability and Fit
The Air Jacket is built to be stowed in a jersey pocket. Q36.5 describes the construction as extremely low-volume, and the idea is that you carry it on every ride, just in case. If the weather turns, it is there.
The cut is body mapped and pre-shaped, so the jacket sits close to the torso and doesn't flap in the wind. The woven fabric has 4-way stretch, which allows free movement in a riding position. Reflective inserts on the back and along the camlock zipper add visibility in low light.
Where It Fits
This Q36.5 jacket is a wind layer for road and gravel riders who want something light enough to leave in a pocket. It comes in Nautica Blue, Ice Grey, Black, Optic White and Poppy Orange, in sizes XXS to XXXL. The fit is close, so check the size chart before ordering.
The RA Perspective
The Air Jacket is a jacket you stop noticing in your pocket. At 90 g in a medium, and packable enough to disappear into a jersey pocket, it removes the usual reason for leaving a wind layer at home.
The cut is closer to a race fit than a loose shell. Q36.5 shapes it so it sits against the torso and doesn't flap at speed, which suits descents and windy days. The 4-way stretch fabric should help in a riding position, and the reflective inserts on the back and zipper are a small safety bonus on early or late rides.
It has limits. The DWR finish handles light rain, but this is a wind jacket, not a waterproof shell. In a sustained downpour you will want something with sealed seams. A close fit also means sizing matters, especially if you plan to wear it over a thicker layer.
We'd reach for it on spring and autumn rides, on mountain days where the temperature drops on the descent, or any time the forecast is uncertain. For $195 it is a well-made, light layer from Q36.5, and it makes sense as the one jacket you always carry.
