For the past 37 years, Nike’s ACG lineup has pushed the needle with outdoor gear, putting stylish spins on purpose-built staples. The All Conditions Gear range had a fantastic February, venturing to the Olympics and having a viral hit with the Ultrafly Trail. But it’s time to look ahead. These are our favorite Nike ACG picks for this month.
Article Overview
Nike ACG “GOAT” Trail Running Belt
Trail running just isn’t possible without a solid solution for storing your essentials. Nike’s ACG has one of the most thoughtfully-constructed options we’ve seen, with four internal pockets for your phone, wallet, and keys. It’s also built with the brand’s Dri-FIT tech that helps move moisture away from your skin, so this won’t be uncomfortable when you start sweating. Also, it’s made with a removable bungee system that can hold even more gear, and if you use hiking poles, the elastic loops give you a place to store them.
Nike ACG “Tuff Fleece” Sweatshirt
Nike often proves why it’s so rabidly popular, with its array of lifestyle pieces justifying their place in an outdoor-focused lineup. Whether you’re hiking or going out for drinks, the Tuff Fleece Sweatshirt is heavy enough to keep you warm but also not too overbearing. It leverages Nike’s Therma-FIT tech, which helps regulate your body temperature so you don’t overheat.
Nike ACG “DAYMAX” Duffel Bag 60L
When embarking on your next camping trip, get yourself this DAYMAX Duffel, a 60-liter bag made with meticulous construction from the folks at Nike ACG. Covered with a storm flap to keep out moisture, the boxy construction allows for a large main compartment, equipped with hi-vis orange interior so things don’t disappear. The back has an expandable shoe compartment, while the dedicated phone pouch on the outside is a nice touch.
Nike ACG “Wolf Lichen” Crew Neck Top
Nike doesn’t just make jackets and t-shirts, but mid-layers like this Wolf Lichen Crew Neck Top. Built with incredibly soft Polartec for a stretchy knit designed to retain heat but also allow moisture to evaporate. You can put this on over a bottom layer but it’s low-profile enough to wear under a coat.
Nike ACG Vista Vert
Nike might not be the first name you think of when it comes to eyewear, but the Swoosh has been making shades for over 25 years now. Retaining a dose of that Y2K-rooted aesthetic, the Vista Vert series is actually the first pair of shades in the ACG line. Built for the outdoors with shadow-enhancing lenses that have also been coated with water repellant, these still embody ACG’s balance of form and function to a T.
Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail Aloe Green
The Ultrafly Trail seems to be everywhere these days, but fans still want more. Debuting in the Hyper Crimson orange colorway, the trail runners have now come out with their second variant in this more-minimal Aloe Green iteration. Featuring no Swoosh on the side, these still have the same desirable tech as the debut model, improving on the 2023 original with softer carbon plate, better drainage, and a wider fit.
Nike ACG “Lava Loft” Jacket
We’ve been loving Nike’s new Lava Loft Jacket that came out last month. Designed with a Therma-FIT shell for heat-retention and down-filled baffles, the coat is not your average puffer. For one, it’s intended for movement. While the insulation is mapped with this wavy stitching pattern to target certain areas, the sides have less bulk as well. Also, AeroLoft perforations have been put in high-heat areas for ventilation. If that’s not enough, you’ll also love how it can pack down into its own internal pocket for compact storage.
Nike ACG x United States Olympic Team Jacket
Cultural Icon Pick: Many of us can remember the Olympic wardrobes of years past, but perhaps few have been as stylish and evocative of the American spirit as Nike’s ACG Team USA ensemble. It was highlighted by this white jacket, which was far more than just a stylish statement piece. Similar to the Lava Loft above, it’s also built with heat-regulating Therma-FIT ADV and PrimaLoft insulation, and can pack away into its own internal pocket when the temperature gets warmer.
