Comments about Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Fleece Jacket - Women's:

This fleece jacket satisfied my want for a great fitting fleece jacket. I'm unsually small, I guess (5'2", 105 lbs.), and the smallest size fleece jackets from other brands were still very baggy on me. Sadly, this jacket is extremely not windproof, to the point where I'd prefer to not wear the jacket at all if caught out and about on a windy day. It's like wearing loose mesh.

Comments about Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Fleece Jacket - Women's:

I bought this fleece as a Valentine's Day gift for my girlfriend. We had looked at it in store a few months ago but the correct size wasn't available. After purchasing online, she stated that it fits extremely well, is true to size and is very comfortable. She wears it for casual use and would certainly recommend it to others.

Comments about Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Fleece Jacket - Women's:

This jacket was an impulse buy as I was so attracted to the verbena colour. It has a heathery hue and I have received compliments on it everytime I wear it. I am on the taller/longer arm scale, and this jacket does ok. Sleeve length falls perfectly and pockets sit at a good height for keeping hands inside for warmth. I use the jacket up here in Alaska. Does ok for zero degrees celcius for jaunts around town, but like everyone else says....useless in the wind. Pockets can fit keys/security swipe cards, some pepper spray and an ipod well. Snugger fit than some of my other fleece jackets, but that's what makes this more of a style purchase. Wouldn't have paid the full price for this if it hadn't of come in this colour (as embarassing as this is to admit!)

Comments about Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Fleece Jacket - Women's:

I gave this to my wife for Christmas. It is more fitted and stylish than what she usually wears. (She is 64 and in good shape.) It looks really great on her and she is getting many complements from friends and family. She says she loves the look, weight, warmth and fit. Santa Barbara doesn't get very cold so she can wear it often.

I had high hopes for this fleece. I am 5' tall and this jacket is too short in the front and the sleeves are way too long on me.

Comments about Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Fleece Jacket - Women's:

I was looking for a comfortable fleece jacket that was not horribly baggy, so the fact that it runs a bit small made this jacket work for me. The jacket has a nice shape, but it is a bit short, which works well for me, but maybe not for the average torso. The biggest pro of this jacket is the look of it. It is fairly warm, but not at all windproof.

Even at the sale price, other jackets offer significantly more functionality. Unless you're highest priority is finding a good fitting/cute jacket, you may be better off with another jacket.

great layering piece for skiing and everyday in cold weather. It's snug but not tight. It's not heavy but very warm. I love this under my ski jacket and my winter coat.

This is a great everyday jacket, warm comfy and very cute. Fit is perfect, not bulky or shapeless. If it gets really cold, I shift over to down sweater or add a wind jacket. I wear it in the house during winter just because I like it so much.

Comments about Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Fleece Jacket - Women's:

The fit is perfect for me- not strangulation type form fitting, but not bag like either. I used this jacket in the winter as an indoor top layer over short sleeved shirts. It fits easily under winter coats when I have to head outside for errands or chores. For the fall and spring it has worked as a light weight coat by itself as long as it is not windy. Packs nicely in or on a day pack depending on size of backpack. Great for around town errands and evenings by the campfire.

I have to emphasize it is NOT WINDPROOF. The wind cuts right through it. Also unfortunately it is inclined towards pilling. And while I have yet to find a true fleece that doesn't - it is worth noting that that this coat happily attracts dog hair like a magnet attracts nails. Not convinced it's worth the full retail price but on sale with smartly managed discounts to boot it is nice.

Still despite the few downsides, it is soft, machine washable, has a nice cut and good large pockets that are easily large enough to hold smart phone, keys, ipod and a portable seagate hard drive all at the same time.

Comments about Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Fleece Jacket - Women's:

This cardigan (sweatshirt?) is extremely comfortable, warm enough to use as a good mid-layer if you're not expecting any wind protection (you can see through the fibers). Unfortunately it is a lint magnet and the fabric is pilling. I'm not sure it's worth the price but I got it on sale. I love the twilight color, and I have no complaints about the comfort at all.
