As the name suggests, J1W is the wide-body iteration of the ACRONYM® J1A. Larger and broader than ever, 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 TensionZip Flak pocket, zipless reloadable GravityPockets (smoother, faster, lighter), and a 40 denier face fabric made from recycled nylon yarns laminated to Gore-Tex® with Paclite® Plus product technology (the 4th generation of Paclite membranes).
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-GTPL 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 ACRONYM® rendered in physical, wearable form. A carefully balanced array of functional and aesthetic systems is presented here in completely remastered form. Asymmetric. Dynamic. ACRONYM® among equals. Combine with 3A-1 or 3A-3TS for full INTEROPS functionality. Built with Gore-Tex® Paclite Plus Product Technology.
*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.
