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 & protect warships during WWI. The automotive industry adopted the effect in the ’50s—dubbing the proto cars “ Erlkönig” or “ Erlkings”—as a way to confuse the competition & conceal new technologies. Testing, testing, & more testing is what leads to better, faster equipment, & 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 & Push Pull textiles, noted for their breathability, low weights, & phenomenal stretch. Features Dual Tex: A fast-drying double yarn textile with great moisture management & breathability. Snag resistant with high mechanical stretch, it also has built-in UPF30 & odor Control. Push Pull: The pockets & sleeves are made from 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 & very comfortable. Raw Cut Sleeves: Creates the smoothest transition possible between the & fabric & skin. More comfort & precise hold with less pressure. Triple Ramp Pockets: Our storage design with three textile-lidded pockets optimally located for ease of access; security & stability guaranteed. Full-Length Zipper: A slim central fastener allows full personal adjustment to temperature & exertion. regular
