I've owned the most popular fleeces from a number of top outdoor brands, and I finally found one that I love. While this is considerably less technical than much of Arc'teryx's gear, it's equally high quality. I purchased a covert cardigan just to try it out and liked it so much I bought 2 more in different colors. Fit is great, pockets are deep and well-placed, durability is excellent - you'll get some minor pilling, but that's par for the course. It's very warm and soft as well. It works great as a casual layer on cool, dry & still days, and layers OK under a shell to stop the wind. That said, it is not at all impervious to wind, so if you expect wind, you may very well need another layer to stop the wind. Overall great versatile fleece, but avoid if you're looking for something on the more technical side.

I have had it for a few weeks and it is wonderful. The small fits me perfectly. I am 5'7" and 118 lbs. the collar sits on the right place on my neck, the color is muted (which I love-not into bright bright colors), and I will love in thus all winter. Maybe a black is in my future!!!

Traded in my Patagonia better sweater for this jacket and 10/10 recommend. Softer material, warmer, more flattering cut and more breathable/comfortable.

This fleece is more form fitting and looks more stylish than my Patagonia sweaters. I love being able to wear the same technical gear in town, just because I like it, and have it perform well when kayaking/sailing/climbing/camping/etc. Have to admit the Better Sweater generally has a nicer looking fabric though. Variety of pockets is great. Fits great under my other jackets/shells.

I got this jacket a few months ago in the heather grey. I read a few comments about pilling which I haven't noticed a lot of on mine. It washes great too. As for fit I am 5'-1" at 125lbs and typically wear a medium in Arcteryx but I sized down to a small for a closer fit.

This product is just like all the other Arc'teryx goods I have purchased over the years. It fits, it works, and I know it will last.

Without any doubt, one of the best all-round fleece on the market.

After reading through the reviews on this I was concerned about pilling however there doesn't seem to be happening on mine so far! I wear a backpack most days and no pilling on the shoulders yet where it rubs.
The jacket is warm, soft and fits really well. It looks pretty smart so I'll be using both casually and at work in!
The only tiny niggle I have is that the cuffs could be a little tighter. Although they do still work well and spring back to shape even after wearing it with the sleeves pulled up all day.
Possibly one of my favourite pieces and fits well under my Atom LT, Zeta AR and Interstate Jackets.

Great fleece cardigan for cool weather. The material is nice and soft, keeps you very warm. Nice fit and great for layering. Thinking about getting another one (or two?).

I have this cardigan in 2 colors now and may get another next season. I know I love it when I reach for it more than other outer wear items. Is's stylish, comfortable and warm...and I love the green color, especially in the Spring. The sleeves are long enough, the length covers my backside , and overall it's so well made. It launders well, and looks great even after a year of use. I read some people had issues of piling on their items, but have not had this problem with mine. Wonderful product!

I love my women half zipper covert cardigan and i've been trying to buy additional ones for at least 3 years. I really hope this model will come back for women..

I bought the full zip and loved it so I requested the 1/4 zip as a present.

I bought this in the colour origami, after reading the reviews that the fabric was prone to pilling after washes I was put off but can say I have washed mine several times now and it still looks good as new. Slightly more pink in colour than expected but still a great colour. Keeps you very warm when out walking and can be layered easily, will be great for all seasons. I bought size XS and usually wear a size 8 and the fit is perfect and very flattering.

This covert cardigan is my go-to jacket - inside and out - when it's chilly. I bought a second one based on my near daily wear of the first jacket. My daughter (age 28) has absconded with my new one during her visit during the pandemic. It's obviously not a wind or rain-proof jacket. But it's warm, stylish and so comfortable. I wish Arcteryx would bring back some of the brighter, deeper colors - instead of the dull neutrals.

Great fit and very cozy. I like that it can be dressed up and used as a stand alone jacket or a layering piece.

I have two covert cardigans. The form, fit, and function are perfect for me. I love the material, fit is snug (I am 6'2", 180, and lean), and it keeps me warm on cold days. Primarily wear as an extra layer in the home and for nights out. To me, too nice for trails. Despite the close fit, I go with the Large as the XL would be too long in the sleeves and body.

This cardigan was my 'gateway drug' into the brand, and I've bought multiple since getting hooked. More stylish than typical fleece jackets, and constructed with an impeccable eye for detail and finish, it is astoundingly warm with just a t-shirt beneath it.

bought this about 8 months ago to replace a Patagonia one that I have had for a couple years. Loved it so much I have now purchased 3 others from the outlet! perfect for chilly days heading to the office, great for some fall yardwork, and a great midlayer for a good hike.
