Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan

I wasn't originally going to purchase this jacket as I wasn't that keen on the overall look of the cardi (it felt a little more suitable for my mum). However, after hearing so much love for it from my colleagues I went ahead and got the forage colourway in size Small. I'm sold! this is such a lovely cardi to wear, its incredibly soft on the inside and so cozy. I'll be wearing it around the house when I'm working or relaxing, perhaps for air travel too. I've washed it and its retained size and shape well (washed on a medium heat, reg wash. no tumble). I usually wear a size small (I'm between a UK 8-10) Reason for the 4 rather than a solid 5, the smell when it arrived was incredibly strong. I took it out the package and it was headache inducing, however after a wash its completely gone.

Soft to the skin and keeps me warm Sizing is good for petite like me Length of the sleeve is perfect for my short arms (Taller people might find it short) Shoulder pocket is really functional for my compass card Arm opening is tight which makes it harder for me to do layering with it; It's good when I only wear thin layer inside. A bit looking bulky at the front face; it quite creates like a big space of balloon in front. Hoping to see this in wool or at least a blend of wool :)

I live the color, its 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 my third covert (cardigan + 1/4 zip) purchased recently. Love the new style; a little more roomier that allows for better movement and supports different base layers. Quality and warmth are 5/5. Always order M, inspire of being 54 and an athletic shape. Excellent coverage. Use mainly hiking and around town.

This is the third Covert Cardigan that I have bought. As usual, ArcTeryx 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 bought this cardigan a few years back and LOVED it, so much so that I bought another one in exactly the same size. Sadly, the revised fit doesn't work at all for me -- too boxy through the body and the arms are way too tight. I unfortunately gave it away to a friend.

After 24 hours in spouse's hands, she likes the Cardigan. She noted that the sleeve openings for her hands seem small. I note that the sleeves are not lined so removing her long sleeved arm is a chore. However she wants to keep it.

I wish this sweater had a little more flexibility/stretch and that you brought back the "Solitude Heather " - the Atmos just isn't as nice a shade. The Solitude Heather colour looks really clean and classy.

Well I already have several fleeces like the one I bought, but the size is much larger than the one I had before So I am not that happy, it s like I am wearing my husbands fleece

Warm, but the fleece lining makes it difficult to get on and off even over a cotton turtleneck, and the bulk means it does not lie that well. I also dislike the silly hard nylon sections by the pockets and can't imagine what I'd use the tiny sleeve pocket for. Overall disappointed. The large fits OK- I an 5'7" with 40 inch bust and hips.

I was looking for a lightweight jacket and this fit the ticket. It is warm, fits well, and is versatile. It could be used as a layer in colder weather or stand alone on the shoulder seasons.

This product was purchased as a gift for my wife and she is very pleased with it, She is 5' 10" tall and the sleeves of the large size are of perfect length. The fabric is made with a tight knit and the garment is well constructed.

I bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it. Its perfectly cozy for cool Fall days, but still breathable enough to regulate the heat so you dont get too warm.

My husband wears his covert jacket about 3/4 of the year! I had to have one too! Its a great jacket to keep me warm on walks without getting too hot. Its great!

Fits nicely and is very warm! I sized up to a medium so I could wear sweaters under in cooler weather. I typically wear a size small but the medium was a little longer which fit better. If I didnt want to layer I would have chosen the small.

I am obsessed with this fleece! The boxcar color is stunning and super flattering. I do not find the body of this to be too short as others have stated. I am 55 and the hem hits below the top of my hip bones. I will agree that the arms run a bit tight, but I only plan to wear light/form fitting layers underneath and have muscular arms. The body isnt very tight but I feel it makes the fit more comfortable, if it were tighter, it would feel stifling. It retains heat extremely well. I wore it to sleep on cold and rainy backpacking trips and stayed warm but did not overheat.

The size of the jacket is perfect except for the sleeves. They are very narrow, to the point where only a thin blouse can be worn underneath. I'm not sure I want to keep it.

I own 4 women's Covert Cardigans that I've had for a number of years and wear almost every day. They're starting to show some wear so ordered a couple new colors. The fit has changed completely and I was disappointed how boxy the new cut is so sent them back.

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

Nicely made but the shorter length made me sad. Last year version made me very happy. This one is nice too and I will keep but dont have the same feel good feeling. It almost feels like it is for a petite but the arms are nice and long so it is not. I wear a shirt under that I dont tuck so may hang out too much. I think it is just them going for a new style to keep moving forward.

I have an older version of this cardigan that I love. I wanted another in a different color and tried it on in the store. It is now boxy and unflattering. The arms are a bit tight, so I am unable to go down in size, yet there is way too much room through the belly. I used to love the fit of Arcteryx tops because they were cut for a feminine yet athletic build.

I was in need of a new everyday sweater and decided on this in color Atmos Heather. In person, the color is a little lighter than I expected. I thought it would have a touch more grey, but it wasnt a deal breaker. Its incredibly cozy and warm. The perfect jacket for the office or running errands. I like this revised model versus older ones. It has very clean and minimal seams. Im happy with this purchase.
