Arc'teryx  Covert Cardigan - Men's

A versatile, sharp-looking cardigan. I really like the heathered-grey look. It can be used for any sporting adventure, as well as a more refined look for when the need arises. It is plenty warm, and of a decent thickness. The one exception I have is on the fit. Since many would want to use it as a midlayer, it would make sense to ensure this fitted underneath the same size jacket. I have the cerium, as well as several Atom jackets, and this cardigan is rather boxy-shaped and not form-fitting; kind of like Patagonia... ugh. It would have to bunch-up to fit underneath an Arcteryx jacket. I do like this cardigan though, so I am having it professionally altered.

I really wanted to like the Cover Cardigan, but I had to return it. The fit was generally pretty good overall, except that the underarm of sweater was like a size or two too small. When I tried it on with just a snug t-shirt it was barely passible and mildly uncomfortable, but with anything more it was just really up in there. This is not an issue I have with other brands, or even other Arc' garments. Seems like they messed something up on this style. That or they have a grading issue at the smaller sizes.

Totally digging my new Covert jacket. I own three Patagonia Better Sweaters and the Covert beats them in warm, fit, and style: much better cut and feel...not bulky, not tight, just right (I'm 5'10" and 180lbs/purchased in medium). I love the Olive Moss color - it's vibrant without being loud. Wearing it in low 30°s with one thin underlayer and it's keeping me warm. Pairs nicely with the olive Merino Toque Could use an inner pocket as the sleeve pocket is very small.

Overall I like the fit and the look very much. I bought it for travel combined with a shell, thinking it would provide me with versatility on my journey through a variety of climates and situations. For me it wasn't ideal. It didn't breathe too well making it a little bit of a pain as you are often rushing to catch transportation and the like and other than the front zipper, as a way to shed heat (which doesn't work well if you have a travel pack over your shoulders) there is no other way. The material looks great new but it does pill quite a bit particularly when used in a travel setting where you are pulling bags, cameras and the like off of your shoulders. I still have it but have replaced it with the Delta for travel. I have shaved off the pilling for the most part but but for my particular application it wasn't ideal.

I've only had it for a month, but I loved ArcTeryx because they had an athletic fit that I could throw on a medium or even small and it was sized nicely, but still fitted. They changed the small so it has shorter arms and is smaller and the medium no longer has a European fit (trimmer). It has a ton of material in the waist now for larger stomachs. Which is fine if you are catering to the masses. It just doesn't work for me. I'm 5'11 / 155 lbs. The medium fits like run of the mill Columbia or North Face. Having said that, if you are a larger person than me, that medium may be your perfect fit.

I've had this jacket now for a few months. The first few were great, but as time went on the piling is out of control - and this started a few weeks of gentle use. I got the black, and it's constantly looks dirty because of everything the material attracts and long strands from the piling. This is the most gently used Arcteryx product I own as it's only used in the office and at home, and has held up worse than other Arcteryx I use aggressively outdoors. I wanted to like this jacket as it fits great, but for the cost it hasn't held up nearly as well as I would have expected.

Arc’teryx has made a great piece again but I have a few gripes with it. Sizing, most people are having issues that it too small but for me it slightly on the bigger and taller size. The color of void/graphite is a lot darker in person. Other than that the product is warm and comfortable to wear on some chilly days.

nice jacket.fit perfect. 180cm 68kg slender build.medium is perfect.fit perfect on shoulder and waist.a liitle relaxed on chest and stomach. the cut feel a little stiff than normal cardigan.because of the seam i guess.pretty sure it will become softer with wash.

I’ve had three of these Covert Cardigans from when Arc first started fabric testing to see what would be most comfortable. Luckily they nailed it and picked the best option. I’ve still got my original proto but I just got a 2026 version and they’re both awesome. The new colours are great too. It’s a perfect sweater for winter at home or on trips in the mountains. Cozy and warm! Pockets are located well and are secure. Great casual or hut option!

It would be hard to find a more elegant or better designed jacket. I looked and looked an my partner loves it. But the fabric pills around the pockets or anywhere there is a bit of consistent wear. After less than two years it looks a mess. So disappointing. Please rework this beautiful piece so that it lasts.
