While the Salopette L1 is your 160 g teacher, increasing proprioceptivity, the Salopette Vented is the 138 g Q36.5 bib short for the other days… the days on which you want to unleash your carefully trained explosiveness.

The production of new tactile sensations is at the heart of the Q36.5 project and the Vented is the result of Q36.5 experiments with producing the lightest, most unrestrained, most ‘barely-there’ and free-feeling bib short possible without making concessions to comfort, safety (particularly UV) and support. The Vented shares its DNA with the L1 but introduces an additional 2 panels, a new set of ultralight fabrics and a new chamois construction. Most immediately noticeable when riding is the strategically minimized chamois which employs the SUPER MOULDED chamois (identical dimensions and calibration of densities as that found on the L1) stripped of its additional padded covering and replaced by a thin antifriction interface, producing a less substantial, more essentialist pad which nevertheless supports you in all the vital places.
