'We were talking about summer festivals and the fact that so many people have ponchos with them. We then considered how we could create a pinnacle version of the garment. We used a lightweight three-layer ripstop fabric, added taped seams at the hood and made sure it was packable.'
That's Nike senior apparel designer Jarrett Reynolds explaining the origin of the NikeLab ACG Poncho, which was engineered for optimal fit and function. To help ensure hands stay dry in the wettest conditions, insight from design partner Acronym® Errolson Hugh resulted in flipping the pocket - a poncho staple - inside out, placing the typical kangaroo build on the inside. Bold, contrasted ACG graphics on the front and back complete the look.
