Exploiting the possibilities of cutting-edge Karl Mayer Seamless knitting machines, Q36.5 has developed a technologicallyextreme vision of the traditional seamless base layer.

Even riders who are already familiar with high performance seamless base layers will immediately be able to notice thenew feelingintroduced in this product.

Most notably:

• Significantlygreater elasticity and lower resistance to movementin all directions, given by the Karl Mayer machine’s ability to construct multiple tubes without any seams (most ‘sleeveless’ base layers still nevertheless are technologically obliged to be sewn around the armhole, for example). The removal of all seams (with the exception of two short joining stitches at the shoulders) obviously also greatly increases the comfort of as tight-fitting a garment as a base layer.
• Amuch tougher and less fragile lightweight material, since unlike other seamless machines Karl Mayer machines are able to develop atrue rip-proof mesh. The base layer’s fabric is leftun-hemmed, which further removes stitching from the garment: in factit can be cut and modified as the user wishes, without compromising the durability of the product and no risk of unraveling threads.
• The ‘honey-comb’ pattern of the knit is deployed in various different densities, along with open-mesh sections, mapping the thermal requirements and regional sweat rates of an athlete’s body. Not only does this allow for the best ridercomfort and protection, it also allows for thevolumeof the product to besignificantly reducedwhere possible.

The result is a startlinglypure and minimal base layer.

Weight is 87g (result of the design, not an objective) and is best used above 15°C.
