Assos ERLKOENIG Short Sleeve Jersey National Red

The Assos ERLKOENIG Short Sleeve Jersey in National Red is a limited edition jersey using their take on the Erlkoenig dazzle camouflage pattern. The Erlkoenig dazzle camouflage pattern is normally used to keep new cars’ identities under wraps during testing. Created by British artist Norman Wilkinson, the camo pattern originated as a disguise technique that was intended to mask and protect warships during WWI. The automotive industry adopted the effect in the ’50sโ€”dubbing the proto cars โ€œErlkรถnigโ€ or โ€œErlkingsโ€โ€”as a way to confuse the competition and conceal new technologies. Testing, testing, and more testing is what leads to better, faster equipment, and the Erlkoenig SS Jersey is Assos’s latest version of the all-around Short Sleeve jersey platform. Racing, training, or spinning out the legs with friends on the weekend, the Erlkoenig delivers. It’s constructed with Assos’ time-tested Dual Tex and Push Pull textiles, noted for their breathability, low weights, and phenomenal stretch. Features Dual Tex: A fast-drying double yarn textile with great moisture management and breathability. Snag resistant with high mechanical stretch, it also has built-in UPF30 and odorControl. Push Pull: The pockets and sleeves are made of our ASSOS-developed Push Pull warp-knit textile with high UV protection (UPF 50+). Highly breathable, this fine gauge knit with bi-stretch is quick drying and very comfortable. Raw Cut Sleeves: Creates the smoothest transition possible between the and fabric and skin. More comfort and precise hold with less pressure. Triple Ramp Pockets: Our storage design with three textile-lidded pockets optimally located for ease of access; security and stability guaranteed. Full-Length Zipper: A slim central fastener allows full personal adjustment to temperature and exertion. regularFit: A body-mapped performance fit that is a little less aggressive than our racingFitโ€”the best of both worlds, where speed and comfort converge.
