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.

Nice sweater, I have purchased two of these. The size has increased slightly over the years. Not the most technical garment but relatively warm. Does not dry as quickly as fleece, I don't use this in the backcountry. For active sweaters I prefer the Naga hoodie.

Not understanding the ridiculously tiny pocket in the sleeve. Also, your "new" sizing chart is not helpful. You say large has become even larger while medium stayed the same - so I ordered medium which was too tight and did an exchange at your retail store.
The build quality seems excellent, fleece maybe a little thicker than my black Covert from several years ago. I like the garment, although wind does sail right through the fabric.

Great for hiking during Spring, and Autumn, plus a shell jacket. It looks smart and sharp. Like the design of it and overall.

Used this fleece for pretty much everything, from hiking to wearing it in an office. Very versatile and kept me warm accordingly. I have to say it does have a more fitted fit and is decently thick. Great quality fabric and held well throughout my daily use. Would highly recommend any product of the covert line!

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 :)

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 have a covert cardigan that I've had over ten years - it's still going strong, but thought I'd buy another. Having received, both the fabric is sooo much different, and the sizing is all over the shop. I'm a size small, and my old fleece is a small ordered a small and it's tiny I'm a small though, not a medium not sure why I need to be sizing up for this. Disappointing, as having to return it.

I've had Arc'teryx before and been a happy customer. My initial thought on opening the box this time was; the material, the fit, all good.
But the zip! Cheap as chips. Feels very fragile and I don't expect it to last. No chance of fastening it with gloves on. It's also (minor niggle) mounted the "wrong" side (female).
This is meant to be a premium product. Very disappointed in the quality of the zip. C'mon folks, it's your reputation! I feel let down.

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.

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.

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.
