Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Cormac Crew Short Sleeve

The new version is horrible!!! The old version of the format shirt was perfect, for well, good fabric. The old version was my absolute favorite shirt and I have probably 10 of them. The new version is nothing like the old version. The new version is baggy, sleeves way too long, poor material and looks frumpy. I can't wear the new version it's so horrible. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION!!!!

I bought a couple of the revised shirts for my husband who has been wearing the previous versions for years and loved them. He was massively disappointed by this revised model. The cut and quality has taken a massive nosedive. Whereas before the previous shirts offered great articulation and looked good on him, these ones are baggy, poorly fitting and look awful. The sleeves are too long, the neckline is all wrong, and they just look xxxxx! It seems once again Arc'teryx is abandoning its core market and instead catering for overweight out of shape individuals, as I guess there's more of them about to make money from selling this tat to. Please bring back the older version.

Let me start by saying that I have been a long time customer of the Cormac line. I have purchased many revisions of this shirt over the past five years and this by far has been the worst. I do not know how you can deviate so drastically from the previous revision to this one. The last revision had great material and fit. The length, sleeves and chest were perfect. This revision is boxy, the sleeves are long and baggy, and the neck line is terrible. I hate to return it because I need new shirts and love these colors but the new fit just won't do.

Feels so cheap the material is not good atall such a downgrade from last years version won't be buying any of these material ones !

Old Cormac was so much better. This one has horrible cut and cheaper material.

I am really disappointed with Arcteryx/Veliance lately. Used to be a nice athletic cut and consistent sizes year to year. Now everything has gone from athletic cut to baggy. Cormac was a great shirt and now it is baggy in my go to size and sleeves go down to my elbow. Why is Arcteryx changing what made them great. Stay consistent in sizes and fit. I am a long time Arcteryx advocate and you are losing me.

I own 11 of these shirts in various colorways, sleeve length, and cuts. The previous version was my all time favorite shirt. I wear them constantly for working out, work, and travel. Simply put, this new version is awful in every way. I will not be buying any more which is truly sad because they were the best. Please bring back the old version.

My wife recently bought the newest Cormac for me as a gift as she knew I loved these shirts. I currently have 4 different colors of the old version with the reflective strip on the sleeves that I've been wearing for the last 4+ years and I wear them for everything active - I mean, everything. From gym sessions to running to international travel to even a triathlon training, these shirts have been through the wringer and still work great like the first day I got them. As a result, when I got the new version from my wife, imagine my surprise and shock when the cut was more boxy and the sleeves nearly went down to my elbow. The material doesn't feel as comfortable as the breathable material of the old version and the sleeve length is ridiculously long for a shirt that's meant for active activities. When I lift at the gym or go for a run, the last I want to feel is the shirt material swooshing around because it's cut too large and the sleeves continually rubbing near my elbow because the length is too long. The old version was cut perfectly where it hugged my body in the right places, the neck rested comfortably and never drooped down, and the sleeves ended in the middle of my biceps. All in all, I am extremely disappointed with the newest Cormac and will not be purchasing any more. It's sad and unfortunate that a product that was truly perfect was changed for the sake of change versus being positively iterated on. If there is any constructive feedback to the team and designers, please bring back the old version and leave it as is. Feel free to add more colors, but when something works well, sells well, and is loved by the customer base, it's best to sometimes leave it alone.

I've owned several past Cormacs. They were AWESOME. Im not sure why this is even called a Cormac. The fit is totally wrong; the neck rides up in the front and the whole shirt site weirdly. The material used on past iterations was tough, but not heavy. And has withstood years of use while climbing rock walls, trail running, bushwacking, etc. The new version is very light and surely not as robust. Call it what you want, this aint no "Cormac". Wont be buying more of these unless there is a return to the old style and materials.

Bought this shirt to run in. My first impression of the shirt was not great. Despite being a solid medium in every other top I've ever worn, the sleeves were super long it almost felt like a baseball tee, or that this shirt had been designed for go go gadget himself - and I have long arms. Anyways, I figured I could hem the sleeves easily enough so I took it on a test run. After 10 kms on the trail, my nipples had chafed worse than any other shirt I've ever worn running - with nut butter applied. In fact, it was so bad that the following day I stepped in a wasp nest on a trail run and the only thing more painful than the multiple stings in the back of my knee was my horribly chafed nips. It was at this moment that I realized this product was worth a review. I will say I bought this with the Norvan shorts, and I do love those. I'm not sure how the shirt passed testing with the athletes, it doesn't breath well and has some obvious issues. Too bad - next time I'll go with my instinct and return the product instead of trying to make it work.

I have been buying Cormac shirts for years, the quality used to be great but as time has gone on they have reduced the material quality. First the reflective strips on the arms went, then this time the material quality is poor in comparison to previous iterations. Sorry but after years of buying these, I think this one will be my last. Don't push your quality down and charge the same!
