Schneider and NikeLab ACG collaborator Errolson Hugh asked this question for the release of ACG’s latest seasonal collection. Three pillars propped up the collection’s values: the utility of Gore-Tex, the breathability of fleece, and the mobility of the beloved trousers.

Regarding Gore-Tex, the team wanted to embrace a fresh perspective on the element’s usefulness for summer, considering the common belief that the fabric membrane is strictly a material for cold, wet seasons. But Gore-Tex offers more than protection. It also functions as a lithe, breathable barrier against unexpected summer conditions.

“The beauty of the material we’re using is that it’s both protective and highly breathable,” says Schneider. “It’s basically a 365-appropriate material. We wanted to make it more seasonally appropriate for summer through the silhouette, for those who prefer a day at the beach house, for example.”

The NikeLab ACG Gore Tex jacket is the cornerstone of the collection. Available in both men’s and women’s sizes, the three-layer outer garment includes detachable sleeves from the standard ¾ sleeve length for added protection. Multiple pockets offer plenty of room to store your personal valuables. Interior carry straps grant the wearer the ability to shed the layer’s weight while keeping the layer in arm’s reach.
