Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan

Excellent jacket, comfortably design and quality material. I would recommend this jacket to friends and family.

I like this cardigan and have now purchased 3:black, royal blue, and lavender. They look neat, are the correct length, and allow me to move freely while wearing them. Good for cool weather and plane travel when flighrs run cold.

I own a few of these cardigans in 3 different sizes due to recent weight loss. I still use the larger ones (that I have had for years!) around the house and they still look great. They just don't wear out and I wear them every day that's chilly enough. They wash well and come out looking like new.

I have several of these jackets that I have acquired over the years. They are a quality product, and feel nice to the touch, but the fit is nothing special. I preferred the cut of these 2 iterations ago where the lines were less straight and more fitted and tapered. (Not the baggy gang-banger look). This new slightly shorter straight cut is not flattering to women who have curves and are not straight up and down with no waist and who have narrow shoulders. It also is not as functional as the older ,trimmer fitting tapered cut. It puzzles me as to why arm the holes are so small when they have loosened the fit. Even as a 5'2"slim, very small but muscular 104 lb woman, they are too small and do not match the looser cut of these cardigans. I much prefer my older ones that were tighter in the bust and waist but were ample enough in the arm cutouts for a real person to find comfortable and to wear to work in a medical facility where it is constantly cold. I have taken these jackets camping and traveling and they have always been winners, but this cut limits the functionality for some. Of course these pieces are warm, but they require maintenance to remove the pilling that occurs with time. I think Arc'teryx needs to offer these jackets in a trim fit and a relaxed fit to better fit multiple body types... Just like they did with the Sentinel and other pieces in the last few years. Then, the customer would be able to dial the fit in better. I can wear either a small or an extra small normally in these., but even the medium has tiny arm holes, and they are all very tight in the shoulders for their size. Most athletic or sports oriented women do not have tiny shoulders and arms. Even my tiny grandmother would find the arm holes to be small.

I now have two of these jackets: black and this one which is a light blue/lavender/gray. They are warm without being puffy or fluffy and fit well. The length is just right, and they are comfortable. I do wish it came in navy blue, also.

I bought this jacket but still haven't removed the tags as I'm concerned over the sizing. I just received the wool long sleeve top that I planned on wearing under this. The problem, like many others mentioned is the tight sleeves. The arms stick to the wool sleeves of what would be my base layer. I have to pull and tug to get everything in the right place, it still feels like the arms and shoulders are tight and the body is boxy. I plan on returning.

The fit is terrible. I'm 5'5" and 130 lbs(size 6).I ordered the medium. The armpit and sleeves are too tight and the body is too big and wide. I can't even fit the Rho zip lightweight base layer underneath comfortably. My other items are a size medium (in a base layer and vest) and are a bit roomy on me. What is going on with the designers??

I'm a Arcteryx loyal customer. I bought the black color a few weeks ago. I only worn one day for a local hiking. after one washing, it had so many pills and lint roller did not help at all. The material has something wrong with it. May be different color would not show these pills.

I love everything Arcteryx except not this cardigan. Boxy but with very long narrow arms. Arms were tight, and the fleece was not very flexible or giving so tightness was a problem. Returning it.

The quality appears to be excellent --- and if it's anything like the men's, I know it is because my partner has had one of these for about 6 years, uses it all the time, and it's still in like-new condition. I've wanted one like his for ages, but the fit is so off. I'm 5'9", 155lbs, quite fit. I ordered the medium. The shoulder width is fine, the arm length is just about long enough, but the torso is not only too short, but way too wide. It looks like I'm wearing a cardboard box. The large will be way too wide, given that the medium is already wide. I'm so sad that I'll have to return it.

Bring back the Alpine Rose and Velocity Heather colourways. Those colours were so pretty and versatile. Alpine Rose and Velocity Heather look so good in the heathered polyester fleece of the Covert series, it's just not the same in the other fabrics. The texture and colour just work out so perfectly! Please bring them back in the Covert Cardigan, the Covert Pullover Hoody, or the Covert 1/2 Zip Neck. I hope you really do bring these colours back!

Vor und/oder nach dem Sport, perfekte Jacke bei khlen Temperaturen. Super angenehmes Material. Tolle Farbe.

I love the fleece but do not like the fit at all. I am a fan of Arc'teryx but women's fit is still so far from what it should be on many products and especially this one. It is warm, great fleece material, etc. But the arms are super tight and the body so boxy. It would be much too big if I went with a bigger size though. I believe a trimmer body and loser arms, as well as a little stretch would make it a nicer product. As a mid-layer, it being less boxy would be nicer to layer as well, and longer too.

Fits very well. It's comfortable and warm. Fabric feels good and seems very durable. Pockets are functional. I also like the color.

This is the warmest jacket I've had of this weight. Great for layering, instantly makes me feel warmer. Sometimes even a little too warm for ice climbing! The material has held up well after a lot of wearing and washing. The fit is very nice however the tailored feel does restrict arm movement a little bit, so I wear it more for skiing than ice climbing however it works fine for both.

Used in my Xinjiang trip , Perfect comfort and warmth.

I wear this everyday except in the summer. Perfect to size and keeps me warm but not too warm. Full easy makes it easy to vent if needed. Love it!

I like this cardigan that made me feel warm and comfy. And the grey color is easy to get matched!

Ordered this in size small which is my usual size in all top items. However, the new fit is really weird. The shoulder section is perfect, the arms are very tight and the stomach is very large. I know they wanted to make a more modern cut for the covert, but this is not flattering at all and not oversized in the trending way. I was looking forward to replace my covert cardigan that I had lost, but I am now a bit confused as to how to replace it now that the fit has changed and does not suit me at all.

Love the overall design, material, and length, though sleeves are way too tight and restrict movement / cannot be rolled up. Sad to be returning this!

I've owned this cardigan about a month and have mixed feelings about it. On the positive side, it is incredibly warm and the long sleeves are a definite plus. It's perfect for everyday wear and also great for hiking in cooler weather. Additionally, it's convenient to wear under a shell. However, there are a few downsides. The cardigan is quite wide and short, which makes it less flattering. Moreover, the narrow sleeves make it difficult to layer anything underneath. Overall, while it has its benefits, there are some design aspects that could be improved.

Boxy and way too short with no shape at all and the arms are impossibly tight. Disaster.

I wasn't originally going to purchase this jacket as I wasn't that keen on the overall look of the cardi (it felt a little more suitable for my mum). However, after hearing so much love for it from my colleagues I went ahead and got the forage colourway in size Small. I'm sold! this is such a lovely cardi to wear, its incredibly soft on the inside and so cozy. I'll be wearing it around the house when I'm working or relaxing, perhaps for air travel too. I've washed it and its retained size and shape well (washed on a medium heat, reg wash. no tumble). I usually wear a size small (I'm between a UK 8-10) Reason for the 4 rather than a solid 5, the smell when it arrived was incredibly strong. I took it out the package and it was headache inducing, however after a wash its completely gone.

Soft to the skin and keeps me warm Sizing is good for petite like me Length of the sleeve is perfect for my short arms (Taller people might find it short) Shoulder pocket is really functional for my compass card Arm opening is tight which makes it harder for me to do layering with it; It's good when I only wear thin layer inside. A bit looking bulky at the front face; it quite creates like a big space of balloon in front. Hoping to see this in wool or at least a blend of wool :)

Lovely sweater that I was looking forward to wear but the sleeves are way too tight! I'm looking for COMFORT in a fleece jacket, and this was extremely uncomfortable to wear. The sweater is truly so beautiful and I love the colors, but unfortunately, I had to return.
