Warm
I've owned this cardigan about a month and have mixed feelings about it. On the positive side, it is incredibly warm and the long sleeves are a definite plus. It’s perfect for everyday wear and also great for hiking in cooler weather. Additionally, it’s convenient to wear under a shell. However, there are a few downsides. The cardigan is quite wide and short, which makes it less flattering. Moreover, the narrow sleeves make it difficult to layer anything underneath. Overall, while it has its benefits, there are some design aspects that could be improved.
Hello Hanna, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Covert cardigan! We’re glad to hear that you find it warm and suitable for both everyday wear and outdoor activities. Your feedback regarding the fit and sleeve width is invaluable, as it helps us understand how we can enhance our designs. We appreciate your insights and hope to create a product that balances comfort with a flattering fit in the future.
Great fleece - poor zipper
Love my 2 year old Covert, but the zipper has always been an issue - and now the bottom part of the zipper simply just fell off. I have many items with zippers but only from Arcteryx they seems to be of a not so strong quality. Hope it can be fixed in some way?
Not impressed with this season's colors.....
I discovered the covert cardigan & hoodies two years ago and I now have over 15. Last year, many requested new colors to be brought in lighter colors (loved the yellow & light Titanite from past season!) and I know some requested a light pink & olive green so perhaps the Arbour Heather & Sedna Heather for this season was supposed to satisfy those like me that wanted these colors? If so, it failed for me because they are not the lighter shades that I tend to collect. I wanted more of a lighter heather pink & a light yellow olive green., so please bring more lighter colors (not neon!) such as white, light baby blue, pink & light olive!
Excellent everyday fleece. LT next season please?
I've collected several of these over the years. I think the Covert suits being a jacket more than a hoody because of its clean straight fit, so in jacket form it can look really quite smart. The Kyanite by contrast is figure-hugging and cuddly, so in my opinion suits being a hoody. The Covert is best as a standalone top piece, rather than for layering under a shell, although I've found it pairs very well with the Cerium LT vest in cold conditions. One request to Arcteryx - I see that the men get an LT version, which looks awesome. Please can we ladies get a Covert LT too? I'm sure many of us would love that! Thank you.
Good Warmth for Spontaneous Trips
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 :)
From plane, ranch, to dinner jacket
I needed one jacket for a month in South America, so I bought this jacket as my husband has lived in his for 2 years. To my surprise the on line order fit perfectly. Also the color is not solid black but exactly the charcoal mix with black to be versatile enough to work with my hiking and evening clothes. I look dreadful in solid black. The first night after 24 hours of flying I was run down and slept in the jacket as the hotel was chilly. Voila it still looked fresh and is now on week 2 of an adventure. I am new to this product and company, my tried and true Patagonia has met its match.
Terrible fit
The quality appears to be excellent --- and if it's anything like the men's, I know it is because my partner has had one of these for about 6 years, uses it all the time, and it's still in like-new condition. I've wanted one like his for ages, but the fit is so off. I'm 5'9", 155lbs, quite fit. I ordered the medium. The shoulder width is fine, the arm length is just about long enough, but the torso is not only too short, but way too wide. It looks like I'm wearing a cardboard box. The large will be way too wide, given that the medium is already wide. I'm so sad that I'll have to return it.
Hi Carolina. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Covert Cardigan. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the fit and that it did not suit your needs. We will pass your comments to our team.
Terrible fit
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??
Hi Jen. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Covert Cardigan. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the current fit and that it did not suit your needs. We appreciate your comments and we will make sure to pass them to our team.
Great function- material prone to pilling
I have owned this jacket for about 10 months and used it through the winter and spring hiking season. It has held up well, however there has been a lot of pilling on the jacket and it needs to be “shaved” after every 3-4 wash cycles. If you don’t care about how worn the jacket looks and just need something functional this is a great option.
Great Commuter Wear
This is a very comfortable top to wear anywhere I'm going. This is the first time I have bought an Arcteryx top. The fit, finish and the pink tulip color are top notch. I happened upon this sweater top when I was walking in DC in August. Even though it was summer I could not resist the gorgeous color. Usually every winter top is in a muted tone but this one caught my eye and I was hooked. My husband also bought a lightweight jacket because he does not like heavy winter jackets. The fit and finish is also great. He has not worn his as yet but it's very soft and looks quite well made.
