Q36.5 ULTRA LONG 19 socks

The Q36.5 Ultra Long 19 is the sock for summer rides from 22 °C: long days in the sun, mountain passes, training. It is the Ultra sock in a tall-cuff version, 30 g in size M.

Q36.5 designed it for riders who do their shoes up tight and want the thinnest sock possible. Knitted as a seamless tube in a fine microfilament with 23 % elastane, it follows the foot without a single crease. Two ribbed zones pad the metatarsals and the Achilles tendon.

The fitter's advice: set up your shoes with the socks you ride in. A thick sock forces you to loosen them; a thin one keeps the fit where you set it, and your foot stays held when you accelerate. It goes with a close-fitting shoe like the Dottore Clima; below 22 °C, take the Hybrid 20.

Q36.5 makes it in Italy; its original version, all white with no branding, was worn by pros tied to a sponsor contract. We chose it for everyday summer riding.
