Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan

Bought a while back and have been wearing it a lot. Perfect for layering under bigger coats.

One of the best jackets out there, very comfortable and cozy and warm.

I love this item, not sure why you call it a cardigan but it's very well made, comfortable, and very warm. I bought a second one because it's such a good product.

I bought it a few days ago. I exchanged for the Delta because it was too tight. I am 5.3 126 pounds 57 years old, athletic, but I have a bit of belly comparing with the rest of the body. I was scared about the size because Arc'teryx can feel tight sometimes if it isn't regular fit. This one is medium and fits a bit lose but perfect. To wear something under or on top. Totally recommended

bought this jacket a month ago. Girl friend told me I was nuts to pay that money for a jacket! A week later she wore it while watching a movie. Next thing, she wants one! Jacket is so comfortable and warm it makes you forget you are wearing it! Good work Arctery`x ! Thank you.

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 purchased 3 covert cardigans in the past 10 years- this newest cardigan is not as soft as previous versions but what I really miss are the mesh interior pockets. My passport and boarding passes fit perfectly in them for travel. I have had my latest covert cardigan for 1 year and the zipper broke this morning. So the recent version is not nearly as well made as my covert cardigans from 10 years and 8 years ago. I still wear those 2 cardigans regularly. All 3 cardigans wash very well and our very warm.

I just bought it a few weeks ago , I love it and wear it everyday . I'm 5'7 128b small size fit me perfectly. I like the colour which is Solitude Heater.

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!!!

Uhg I WANT to like this jacket because it’s more professional for work but GOOD LUCK getting all your pet hair and people hair off it... it’s literally impossible even with tape and lint roller and hand picking it off. kind of a waste of money because now I can never wear it unless I spend 30 min lint rolling and picking off hair

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've had this fleece about 3/4 months. The cut & feel are excellent but I have to agree with other reviews that the pilling of the material is unacceptable for a top end item. Solve this & it would be a five star review.

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.

The only way to make this sweater wearable is to spend 20 minutes to an hour de-pilling it. Don't waste your money. Arcteryx typically as a rule puts forth amazing quality however the covert cardigan sweater is the exception to that rule.

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 everything about this jacket except it's really cumbersome to put on when with any number of baselayer materials! It's the nature of the fleece but it causes you to have to hold the cuff of your shirt sleeve and fight to pull the jacket on. That's the only thing stopping it being 5 star!

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 wear this to work with a button down underneath all the time. Very professional and functional

Bought this about 2 months ago as a lightweight option in and out of the office and on my adventures as a soft layer. In that role, it's good. My only issue so far is the pulling that has occurred around the zipper. I'm not wearing it under any layers very often, but it started fairly quickly. So be aware you might need to take action once a season.
