Arc'teryx  Covert Cardigan - Men's

This jacket was perfect for my son who recently went hiking in the midwest. He wore it over his base layers and said it was warm. Also said there was room to put more under it and not uncomfortable or bulky if he put something else over it. It is true to size. Sleeve length was perfect. Cuffs were not too tight. Waist length was also good. Could maybe be a little longer but that’s more preference than anything. Soft on the inside. Deep pockets for hands. Nice design and durable material. Haven’t had or used it long enough to rate long term quality of material. Overall great for spring or fall like temps.

Warm, comfortable and stylish is all the guys in my home ask for. The zipper pockets are great to store a cell phone in without fear of losing it when zipped. Fits true to size as my model is a mens size medium. The logo detail by a zipper pocket is great.

Being this is a mens cardigan, my son modeled it for me. He said it is easy to flex in. He also mentioned that he typically wears an XL and this fits perfectly being a L. He said it appears to be very breathable yet warm as well. He said it is very comfy. Super soft fabric. The pockets are very massive and appear to go all the way up the inside of the jacket. Over all excellent quality.

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.

Arc.. what’re you guys doing? All the people have been asking for has been to give the CC a trimmer fit. Instead- you made it boxy and oversized in all the wrong places. I went to actually buy one of these and checked one out in store beforehand, and compared to my 2025 CC- it feels worse in nearly every single way. Shorter and boxier torso, longer and wider sleeves, the fleece no longer feels like the sweater knit they had been doing, and the invisible stitching they’ve been doing forever has also disappeared and looks cheap. If you’re looking for style, then this piece would be fine as overall it’s not bad looking, but If you’re looking for the performance pieces you’d typically find with Arc, then you’ll be heavily disappointed to find another piece has yet been given a more mainstream look and feel and has had corners cut to reduce the cost, but not for the customer.

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.

This cardigan is so warm and cozy! My husband loves it! Super easy to layer with other tops. The sizing is accurate and it is very breathable! My husband has been wearing this to work and looks very nice with his black work shirts!

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.
