J1W-GT

AVAILABLE 15.02.2024

As the name suggests, J1W is the wide-body iteration of the ǍCROŇYMř J1A. It has been re-patterned to cover and conceal the widest range of bodies, layers, and load bearing configurations to date. Standard non-standard J1A features include a newly engineered TensionZipǽ Flak pocket, zipless reloadable GravityPocketsǽ (smoother, faster, lighter), and removable Spike Tape ornaments featuring custom designed high-polish ACRONYM studs.

J1A was the first ever jacket designed by Acronym. Originally conceived in the years between 1999 and 2001, it is the progenitor of the Type 2371*, and of every other Acronym jacket that has followed.

J1W-GT is the culmination of everything we have learned about building apparel since that time. Everything is new. Everything is the same. The very idea of ǍCROŇYMř rendered in physical, wearable form. A carefully balanced array of functional and aesthetic systems presented here in completely remastered form. Asymmetric. Dynamic. ǍCROŇYMř among equals.

Combine with 3A-1 or 3A-3TS for full INTEROPSǽ functionality.

Built with enhanced Gore-Tex® Pro most breathable technology** to provide extreme breathability—minimizing moisture buildup to give more comfort in more conditions—with retained ruggedness, uncompromised waterproof and windproof protection, and superior lightweight qualities with an improved environmental footprint.

[ **Optimized for breathability during higher-intensity activities, while retaining the ruggedness and waterproof ratings for which Gore-Tex® Pro is known. This technology newly introduces the lightest laminates ever offered in the Gore-Tex® Pro category, using 30-denier face textiles and the new solution-dyed version of the robust Micro Grid™ backer. ]

*Together with 3A-1, the Type 2371 jacket was released in 2002 as one of the main components of ACR KIT-1. KIT-1 was the first commercially available Acronym product.
