The latest version of Q36.5's Dottore Hybrid Vest is notable for its elevated versatility across temperature ranges. For those new to Q36.5, the brand has long favoured high-density woven fabrics that mimic the qualities of traditional shells while offering superior breathability and moisture management - what Q36.5 calls its proprietary UF shell fabric. In this third-generation version of the Italian brand's signature vest, Q36.5 employed greater use of thermal UF shell fabric across the sides and parts of the back of the garment compared to previous versions. At the same time, it upped the vest's already generous body mapping, positioning fabrics to maximize temperature management and protection.

To the back of the vest, the central part of the vest'sback now uses an ultralight mesh fabric, with the addition of mesh pockets.
