Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan

I seem to get more and more disappointed by arc'teryx as time goes by. Very poor quality in a lot of the pieces. Definitely a company moving toward fast fashion. amy cardigan ripped apart at the zipper and when i went for returns i sent the photos etc and never got anywhere. The worst part? I'm recently disabled. So, no rock climbing incident, no hike, just me doing nothing other than putting the jacket on. I kept buying arc'teryx after i got injured kind of out of habit (my daughter always wants to go on a random hike so i just defaulted to hiking clothes as my wardrobe. I thought if the clothes last a really long time it's better for the enviornment too) but have decide that I no longer trust arcteryx to be durable, their designs have been off lately as well (pockets on another pair of pants i bout terribly designed things fall out easily etc) maybe if there's some big change or huge shift but if you can't survive wheel chair duty you can't survive anything. It's like saying a guy sitting in a cubicle is abusing the gear. ead.

Poor quality. The center zipper, where the material is stitched, is flawed. Also, the new sizing SUCKS. Why make the small smaller and the large larger while keeping the medium the same? Break the incremental sizing and leave us with no options. Great job. Also, returning this item is a mess. They only allow you to use UPS. Ok, fine. However, there is no UPS store within 30 minutes of my house. I went online to get help and entered all my info into the return portal again to check for other options. Well, now it started the same return ALL OVER AGAIN. So which freaking label do I use now? The first? Second? Neither? How is this even possible? Messaged support, and it says they should reply in three days. Well, lovely, because the return window (getting closer to thirty days--the max) is ticking quickly. Outstanding leadership up there. This company has definitely gone downhill.

I actually have three covert pieces and I love each and every one of them. I wear them all the time, even in a work setting. The heathery look of the material is attractive and it really keeps you warm inside and outside. If you're working really hard outside though, even in winter, you can get hot quickly

Like many, I'm disappointed in the evolution of this product. - fit is larger in L and XL than previous iterations, noticeably wider in the body and looks less polished. - even a light breeze cuts right through the fabric - pilling is an issue, but it's generally smaller than I've seen on traditional sweaters - collar height is a low and narrow on my neck - colours have gotten progressively worse - zippers are consistent and good - pockets are good for warm, the zipper can be sharp, great design would sandwich the teeth between more durable fabrics -length and sleeve are both good

I have bought many of these over the years - sadly they seem to wear out faster now. Also despite following the care instructions piling seems faster than ever too. Not sure why. The colour selection isn't as good as it once was but at least they keep grey/black :)

Casual wear first product with this brand have purchased all the top brands this item is up with the best.

Don't buy. Bottom hem curls and looks sloppy. Arcteryx warranty claims it was a wear and tear issue and wouldn't replace it. This turned me off of Arcteryx as a whole.

Designed minimally Fit True Warmth A+ for those light walks and hikes! Pockets hold up but be careful around Velcro it can damage the woven material 9/10

I've got two of these and have been wearing one or other every day (except when the weather's too warm) for the past couple of years. It's really good - just the right balance of smart vs casual. Feels smarter than a standard fleece and it goes well with lots of other items of clothing. I'm 193cm tall and 76kg and wear a Large. The front pockets are useful. I love that it doesn't have a logo on the chest (I wouldn't have bought one if it did). Bad points: The pocket on the sleeve is useless and makes the garment look more casual than it otherwise would. There's no hook in the back of the neck so it's difficult to hang anywhere. I don't like any of this year's colours, otherwise I'd buy another.

My go-to fleece! Excellent warmth and not bulky. I actually like the current fit compared to the old one, it provides more room and does not restrict movement. I do make sure to follow the care instructions to prevent pilling and I have not had any issues!

Great fit, amazing color, and really warm. Worth every penny!

I bought this kind of clothing five years ago, with a style that had a hat. Today, I repeated purchasing this one without a hat. Personally, I think it's a very good product. It's very suitable to be used as an intermediate layer in cold weather, and it can also be used as a coat in spring and autumn.

Please put large logo on the left chest. Thank you much

Great fit and quality. Warm and cozy. Only wish they included an inside breast pocket for the ubiquitous smart-phone.

This jacket pulled immediately which was not expected from a synthetic fiber garment. I tried to remove the pills with a sweater stone which ended up damaging and ruining the jacket. Would NOT recommend. I'll be donating this piece.

I bought lots of items, this is the worst item from arcteryx. 1. it is stiff, heavy. 2. it looks thick but, it doesn't keep even a little heat once it is windy, even it is not windy, just a little breeze, you will feel code. 3. but you will feel super hot if are you in the room or somewhere without wind, then you can't help but taking it off. 3. the touch doesn't feel well.

Very good quality and design Fits well pleased with the purchase

Fits well. Very comfortable. Good zipper. Warm.

The jacket is warm and a good fit for 5'7 180lbs with an athletic build. The only complaint is the jackets are always too long in the sleeve. It seems the clothes are fit for someone who's 6ft or above which is not the average height . It would great if this concern is addressed but I doubt it will. I have more than dozen Arc'teryx pieces and the sleeves are always too long

One of my go-to's for casual walk or as a midlayer for my Atom Hoody on subzero temps. Fit is great (its flattering)! I love my soulsonic color!

Garment was worn 3-4 times and never washed. Around the waist and arms the material started to pill quite heavily. Arc'teryx told me to purchase a fabric shaver to remedy the issue Most of their products are very good just not this one.

Hiking Shepard up at 4am and on the trail by 5:45am. Fits like a second skin - no drafts between fabric to skin. Plus, the breathability works well when the body begins to heat up on elevation gains/sun peaking up from the horizon and the day begins to warm. We've had a few mornings in the 30 degree range here in Southern California and the Covert Cardigan has been my go to fleece. Do like the zipper front for added breathability when the weather begins to warm up. Well thought out utility pocket on the left arm - great for car FOB. I like to minimize stuff in my pants pockets when on long mountain hikes. With that said it could use an inside Cell phone pocket. Bonus - it looks great and Fair Trade factory produced!

Excellent product. Beautifully made. Want to buy another one but have been out of stock for months. When will we see more product?

Used for woods time as well as weekend adventures around everywhere. Have found this item to have a very good fit as well as warmth. Also noted that i do not overheat as it seems to ventilate heat out. Wished it had small internal zip pocket as well as a loop for hanging.

Wear it in moderately cold temps and as a inside layer in colder temps. Really like the style and the cut/fit. It's a great addition to my outerwear collection.
