Athletic rain gear

The iJ.bonKa.6 is a replacement for the 851 airJack, which has been around now for eight years. The jacket is available in two fit types - CENTO for slimmer racer types and MILLE for what Assos kindly describe as "the more robust, performance regular fit athletic body type". Interestingly the description on Assos' site says "ASSOS offers 7 climarange - specific interactive body insulators. Preferably, use the bonka with mod.interactive.6", apparantly referring to an as yet unreleased base layer. I'll speculate that these are perhaps due for launch next spring and rather than naming them by season as they do now, I'm guessing they may simply number them by the thickness of the fabric. Alternatively I could be completely wrong and they are referring to the earlyWinterInteractive model which is sixth in the range if you count from the top of the page.

Note that some of the photos of this jacket show the model wearing it inside out - fortunately it doesn't have all that writing on the back.
