Ambitious water boardsports brand ION launched their first bike apparel collection in 2013.
Now, the 2014 collection arrived at local bike shops in overall 24 countries worldwide.
Time to get a short wrap up of the 100% German engineered collection:


SCRUB & FLARE – Trail/Freeride

Nohander

The brand new Flare (women) and Scrub (men) series are ION's flagships in advanced technical construction and material choice:
The long sleeve tops combine DriRelease front panels with airy mesh jerseys on back and arms.
The shorts are made of a special 4way-flex fabric, DWR treated, with laser cut details, bonded hems and a fabric-feature mix that make them a functional, robust and light piece of kit.
