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

        I almost bought another brand "Sweater" like this but glad I held out for this one. It is perfect weight - not too heavy nor too light. This cardigan is so soft I actually wore it this morning while still in my PJs drinking coffee.

        I am 5-10 and 180 and I am always in between sizes. I bought the large and it seems just a tad longer and slightly boxy, but not too bad. I have this problem often with other manufactures.

        I like the Arc'teryx finished the hem of the cuffs and I like the look of the logo on the sleeve (not too brash). And the reinforced pockets are nice.

        - Haven't had this long enough to see if it piles, so I will update this review after I've worn it a bit.

        Highly recommend - it's a solid garment. I'm sure it will serve me well in the outdoors.

        Regards,
        FFN

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

        I rarely splurge for such an expensive garment. I'm glad I did. It not only fits very well, which is rare for someone 6'4" tall, but it is super warm for its thickness. I can wear it like a coat, even though it's thin like a light jacket. Also, it's rather casually elegant looking, so that I can wear it to parties and around town without looking either thread bare poor or snooty rich. Also, it's so well made that I fully expect it last a long, long time. No threads are coming out and it looks new, even though I've been wearing it daily for months now. I would definitely get another one!

        I've worn this about every day for a month. It has not been washed. I have 2 complaints. The sleeves seem a little long, and the material is already starting to become pilly/ produce fuzz balls. Other than that, it's a great item. It is a little cold in my office, and I bought this to wear like a cardigan.

        Unlike other reviews, I did not find this jacket larger than advertised. I love the texture and the fit. The only downside I have found is that when the wind blows, you can feel it through the fleece. Not a deal breaker by any means.

        Great looking and fitting sweater/fleece. Thought it would be warmer to wear under my paclite to keep me warm but will need another layer.

        Delivery was quick and great condition as always.

          Beware - no longer made in Canada

                Beware. Arc'teryx sold out to Adidas (some time ago) and the quality is slowly starting to revert to that of Adidas. All manufacturing is now outsourced to China and Vietnam. This product is made in China. I own many Ayc'teryx products (all with the made in Canada on the label) and have been happy with paying the premium price for the quality, and the quality and economic benefits that come from being made in Americas. No longer will I pay that premium.

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

                  As the other reviewers state, runs pretty big. I normally wear a Large, but the Medium is just about right for me. My arms are slightly longer and this fits me well. It's meant to be snug, not baggy, so as to wear under a jacket and for me, it works perfect, but with the medium.

                  Other than that, it's well made, warm, and a great Polartec piece.

                      This Arc'teryx fleece is great looking and light but, as mentioned above, runs way too big. I'm 5'6" and have found that the small is unreasonably large. The sleeves almost reach my fingertips and the shoulder seams sit about 3/4" beyond my shoulder. Definitely size down if you're unsure of your size.

                      If you sit right in the middle of the small range you might be out of luck as they do not make an XS. Very frustrating.

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

                      I have owned quite a few Arcteryx Covert items through the years. I have had 5 or six of the pullovers and have enjoyed the fit and feel. I really like this product as it can be used while technical climbing or chilling out at home. I like the full zip better than the 1/4 zip pullovers because it gives the sweater is more versatile, easier to disrobe and is a sharper product with the 3 pockets instead of 2. I like the weight which is a little heavier and the soft supple feel of the material. this sweater can make you warm really fast if that is your intention. What I do not like about it and am really getting irritated with Arcteryx products in general is their migration into this realm of making products bigger than they used to be. I have had a lot of Arcteryx sweaters an clothing before and now I find I no longer fit into the mediums. At first I thought I might be the one with the problem, maybe I am gaining weight, but the fact is I am exactly the same size and weight I have always been. Medium has become large and Small is Medium. Please not that this is annoying when purchasing online and the brand you have worn for so long is no resized and you are now playing a sizing game with shipping. A long story short the product is wonderful but if you are a Medium do yourself a favor and order a small as I had too, because I was swimming in the M.
