The upcoming Q36.5 Journey Racing Hydration Skinsuit is purpose-built for long-distance gravel racing due to an built-in, proprietary hydration system. It’s greater than only a bladder stuffed right into a sleeve, although, and it’s been raced within the Cape Epic and this previous weekend’s Traka gravel epic to show its level.
For hydration, a reservoir carries as much as 2 liters of fluid whereas sustaining physique contact and stability throughout tough terrain, eliminating the jostling and bouncing problems with some exterior packs. It slides into a light-weight mesh sleeve on the surface of the higher again, making it simple to swap (assuming you’ve gotten a pit crew or buddy to help) or refill mid-race.
For aerodynamics, the swimsuit builds on Q36.5’s Dottore Professional skinsuit platform, combining aerodynamic Dottore Professional woven leg panels with a body-mapped, multi-fabric higher that balances airflow and thermoregulation extra so than the full-aero street model.
Presently in improvement part, the ultimate model is deliberate for an early 2027 launch in early 2027.
