Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Covert 1/2 Zip

This is a great fleece, love the stitching, colors, and clean detailing. Unfortunately on mine the waist hem has curled up and won't flatten out. The fleece has not been washed yet so I know that is not the issue.Will be returning and will update if there are any changes.

This is a smart and initially great fitting fleece however it does have significant flaws that is surprising and disappointing coming from arc'teryx. 1. The edge piping rolls up and the garment does stretch a bit and looks baggy after 5 or 6 wearings; 2. Not that wind resistant; 3. It is best worn next to the skin as the inner face seems to grip base layers - cotton, merino etc so when removing this fleece you end up taking your base layer off as well - not good when outdoors on the hill. Based on the above, it has been relegated to casual wear outings only. Not a patch on my many other arc'teryx purchases over the years.

This is such a strange sweater. Initially I really loved it, great color and warmth, but after about a week I noticed that the bottom curls up around the whole sweater. I'll straighten it out, and voila it curls up again. I don't know enough about physics and clothing to understand why this happens, but it looks goofy, and anytime I wear it I'm constantly trying to straighten out the bottom 2" of the sweater. I expected better from Arc'teryx.

Use this on all my fall and spring adventures, keeps me warm and wicks away sweat like a gem. I was skeptical about not having a hood at first, but the zipper is well protected and doesn't scratch the neck like most half zips do that zip all the way up.

I used the sweater for one hiking trip so far and I'm very happy with it. It's very comfortable, lightweight and fast drying.

This might be one of the most versatile products Arc'teryx makes. I've worn this over 100 times and it has not shown any wear or tear. I've used it in professional settings and on the mountain as a mid layer. It does the job no matter what.

This is a great sweater. I have had a few of them over the past 6 years. They hold up great, look great on any occasion.

Really great all around fleece. Fits great, not too snug or too baggy. Took my usual Arc' size small (5'10" & 11.5st) fits perfect. Very comfortable, super soft lining. Love the look of it, perfect for hiking but also smart enough to wear daily, can't get me out of it!!

Bought this in binary heather recently, and am very happy with the fit and feel of this piece. I wear it primarily as part of my office wear, but will likely also use it as a layer once it gets colder. I can't speak to the longevity yet, but have already ordered a second in another color. For now, I'd definitely recommend it as a warm, casual piece that's good for the office and daily wear.

I got the Covert a month ago and am extremely happy with its fit, comfort. I have been hiking, golfing, skiing and living in this piece. It is perfect for Vancouver's wet cold feeling. The material doesn't feel too hot but definitely keeps you warm on those brisk days. The fit is a bit loose and allows me to bundle up, when needed.

My favourite fleece top. This is sooo comfortable and super warm during this years cold winter in Scotland

This is my second covert, I have a 5 year old full zip. This new model is softer and cozier than the previous. My old one still looks good and hasn't faded nor piled. I'm hoping this one has the same longevity. The exterior looks the same but is softer, as is the inside. It's softer next to skin. It is warmer and feels a bit thicker but not heavier. It is a great technical sweater and looks great for going for a casual evening out. This doesn't have pockets like my full zip but I really don't use them so this doesn't bother me. The only issue I've found is that the bottom tends to roll up on the outside during the day.

I love everything about the Covert 1/2 Zip Neck fleece. I fits perfectly and makes an apparel statement I have come to expect from Arc'teryx.

Just purchased this as a mid layer for hiking and boy did it surpass my expectations. I'm the type of person to run hot in any activity and prone to lots of sweat. I took this sweater on a 14mile hike in 50F weather. I thought the sweater would be swampy by the 4-5mile mark, but to my surprise it was super dry. I've had wool sweaters before, but the breathability and moisture wicking properties of this product was spectacular.

I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves how warm and soft it is! It's more of a slim fit, but has enough room to move around and complete activities in.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He wears it all of the time- says it is warm and comfortable.

Bought this last month in Boston. Great utility top, as a top layer now the VA weather is warming up, or a middle layer on those still chilly mornings.

I bought this to wear under my shell for the colder days. I wear it golfing and find it cuts 95% of the wind and didn't need the shell.

Bought this a couple of months ago - it's deceptively warm and fits really well. Looks great as well.

This is a perfect piece to use for both activities and everyday events. It looks sharp like as sweater, but not as frumpy as something that would as warm. Definitely a wardrobe staple. Perfect for travel as it is multi purpose. Hubby loves it. Slim fit, but not tight anywhere - all is in proportion.

Fit was perfect. Size M, I am 6' , 150. Love the heather color

Bought a little under a month ago. Since then it's done some good work racing between the wilderness of Somerset and trips to my office in London. Perfect all rounder

I have been a faithful Arc'teryx customer for over eight years and I recently purchased the Covert 1/2 Zip Fleece and it did not disappoint. The quality, fit and construction are excellent and now I am buying it in two more colors....there is none better !

I utilized the sizing chart for a 39" Chest and proper arm length. I am 6'1" and 185 lbs. It stated to order a Medium. Once it came I was thrilled and how soft it was and how well made it appeared to be, but when I put it on, it fit as tight as a babydoll T-Shirt. I was on a trip to Colorado and a Local Store had these in stock. I tried on a Large and it fit properly. I returned the Medium, but bought two colors of the Covert in that Colorado Store. I love them!
