Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan

FINALLY a pretty color to purchase! Just got a cardigan in Reverie and am very pleased. The color is soft and flattering- I've already gotten several compliments. The revised styling is a touch more generous thru the hips, which is just fine by me.

I love the fleece but do not like the fit at all. I am a fan of Arc'teryx but women's fit is still so far from what it should be on many products and especially this one. It is warm, great fleece material, etc. But the arms are super tight and the body so boxy. It would be much too big if I went with a bigger size though. I believe a trimmer body and loser arms, as well as a little stretch would make it a nicer product. As a mid-layer, it being less boxy would be nicer to layer as well, and longer too.

I like this cardigan and have now purchased 3:black, royal blue, and lavender. They look neat, are the correct length, and allow me to move freely while wearing them. Good for cool weather and plane travel when flighrs run cold.

I own a few of these cardigans in 3 different sizes due to recent weight loss. I still use the larger ones (that I have had for years!) around the house and they still look great. They just don't wear out and I wear them every day that's chilly enough. They wash well and come out looking like new.

I love my new cardigan, it's a perfect fit and length for my petite arms and body. And it's thick enough to use during California winters.

I have several of these jackets that I have acquired over the years. They are a quality product, and feel nice to the touch, but the fit is nothing special. I preferred the cut of these 2 iterations ago where the lines were less straight and more fitted and tapered. (Not the baggy gang-banger look). This new slightly shorter straight cut is not flattering to women who have curves and are not straight up and down with no waist and who have narrow shoulders. It also is not as functional as the older ,trimmer fitting tapered cut. It puzzles me as to why arm the holes are so small when they have loosened the fit. Even as a 5'2"slim, very small but muscular 104 lb woman, they are too small and do not match the looser cut of these cardigans. I much prefer my older ones that were tighter in the bust and waist but were ample enough in the arm cutouts for a real person to find comfortable and to wear to work in a medical facility where it is constantly cold. I have taken these jackets camping and traveling and they have always been winners, but this cut limits the functionality for some. Of course these pieces are warm, but they require maintenance to remove the pilling that occurs with time. I think Arc'teryx needs to offer these jackets in a trim fit and a relaxed fit to better fit multiple body types... Just like they did with the Sentinel and other pieces in the last few years. Then, the customer would be able to dial the fit in better. I can wear either a small or an extra small normally in these., but even the medium has tiny arm holes, and they are all very tight in the shoulders for their size. Most athletic or sports oriented women do not have tiny shoulders and arms. Even my tiny grandmother would find the arm holes to be small.

I bought this jacket but still haven't removed the tags as I'm concerned over the sizing. I just received the wool long sleeve top that I planned on wearing under this. The problem, like many others mentioned is the tight sleeves. The arms stick to the wool sleeves of what would be my base layer. I have to pull and tug to get everything in the right place, it still feels like the arms and shoulders are tight and the body is boxy. I plan on returning.

The fit is terrible. I'm 5'5" and 130 lbs(size 6).I ordered the medium. The armpit and sleeves are too tight and the body is too big and wide. I can't even fit the Rho zip lightweight base layer underneath comfortably. My other items are a size medium (in a base layer and vest) and are a bit roomy on me. What is going on with the designers??

Excellent jacket, comfortably design and quality material. I would recommend this jacket to friends and family.

I now have two of these jackets: black and this one which is a light blue/lavender/gray. They are warm without being puffy or fluffy and fit well. The length is just right, and they are comfortable. I do wish it came in navy blue, also.

Vor und/oder nach dem Sport, perfekte Jacke bei khlen Temperaturen. Super angenehmes Material. Tolle Farbe.

Well fitted.

I wear this everyday except in the summer. Perfect to size and keeps me warm but not too warm. Full easy makes it easy to vent if needed. Love it!

I like this cardigan that made me feel warm and comfy. And the grey color is easy to get matched!

Comfy.

Im 170/53 and got this in the XS heather gray and another in navy blue. Fits me perfect and is so flattering on me Extremely warm as well. love it!

It is a well made sweater. I notice the sleeves are a bit fit (may be tight if wear thicker shirt under) but I intend to wear this as a sweater than a jacket. I decide to keep it. I have a similar sweater in Patagonia but I think this one is warmer than Patagonia.

So much warmer than I expected! I wore it skinning and it was perfect. 11/10 would recommend.

I live the color, it's pretty warm after put it on. Perfect purchase

I have had this sweater jacket for a few years now and I am still in love with it. It works well when I want to wear it in the office over a thin blouse. Casual, but still stylish! I am 5'3" and about 165 pounds and I wear a size large. If you are either more petite or on the slimmer side then yes this jacket may be a bit more boxy, but as you can see I am not so it fits me perfectly

This is the third Covert Cardigan that I have bought. As usual, Arc'Teryx never disappoints. I really enjoy the redesign of this fleece jacket. Where the style is a little more boxy I sized down from a M to a S and the fit is perfect. It is the perfect layering piece under my Atom Hoody or my Alpha SV. This years colours are so pretty, I can even wear them to work on a chilly day. I highly recommend this product!!

I recently purchased two of the Covert Cardigans in Storm Glow (M) and Velocity Heather (S). Due to the redesign I had to size down in the Velocity Heather as I found the arms too bulky. I LOVE these cardigans and I'm super excited to see some new colours in this line; way more feminine looking. This product is a closet staple in my household, my husband and I love them and wear them all year round!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a great quality fleece to layer under other Arc'teryx products or as a stand alone piece.

Fabulous product, well made, lovely fit, excellent service. I will buy from them again.

Exactly what I was looking for, so soft and great quality materials. Keeps me warm. I wear it all the time at work, it's perfect and love the cute pink/ lavender color.

I bought this a couple days ago and so happy that they came out with more bright colors for this line. The covert cardigan is definitely a warm and versatile fleece staple in my collection. I basically lived in it for the winter because I can go anywhere with it, dress up or keep it casual. I got the black Heather on last December and definitely love that so no hesitation on getting another in my favorite color. Just note that with the usual new updates in this style, I would be wearing a M for a better fit while S would still fit yet tight around the arms now.
