If you’ve ever stepped out of the house and felt your legs a little chilly, or crested a summit and pondered the imminent descent and thought, “this is going to sting a bit”, then you might need a pair of bib shorts built for colder conditions, like the Dottore Hybrid Bib Shorts by Q36.5. 

A bib short but warmer could be the slogan, and, with its brushed knitted fabric on the legs and signature Q36.5 proprietary woven fabrics across the seat and lumbar area, this is undoubtedly a bib for going deep into the cooler seasons. Indeed, Q36.5 notes that the Dottore Hybrid Bib Shorts will see any rider lucky enough to experience mild winters through the entire season, with only the occasional addition of knee or leg warmers to augment the bibs.

And if you’re still unsure about the idea of cool-weather bibs, the news that Q36.5’s team riders equipped themselves with the Dottore Hybrid bibs in 2025 for the famously soggy Paris-Roubaix might convince you to give them go this season.
