Covert Cardigan Men's

3年前に1着、1年前に1着買いました。愛用してます。フリース固有の貧乏臭さがなく、シルエットがハッキリ決まります。大き過ぎないサイズがオススメです。生地も実物の方が単一の色としては見えず合わせ易いです。 ※ブルー色の復活を求む！ 3年と1年を並べると流石に消耗した感はありますが、機能に問題なく素材や作りの質の高さを実感します。洗濯も気兼ねなく出来るのが良い。定期的にまた買います。 用途は日常です。自分は暑がりな方なので、冬場機内にTシャツとこれ一枚でも空港と機内は事足ります。ロゴが生地同系色なのも主張し過ぎず使い易いです。

I’ve worn this for the past month or so and love it. Its thicker and warmer than I anticipated, which is awesome. Its not too warm though, nor would I call it super thick or wooly. It’s just about right for cooler, brisk days. The pockets are awesome and the look of the Cardigan is such that you can wear it day-to-day and even out for semi-formal events if you’d like. The fit - I’m 6’1, 185 lbs and a large fits me perfect. The sleeves come down to the wrists with just a tad of extra material, which is awesome cause they don’t pull way up my forearm if I’m stretching out my arm or reaching overhead or trying to reach back to put a backpack on. It comes down to just above my zipper line, and just below my waist, which is also great. It doesn’t hike up and expose my belt or my bare stomach either. Overall it’s simply a wonderful piece for cool or even chillier weather. highly recommended.

I have mixed feelings about the Covert (I have the 2018 version). The fabric is very nice and construction is what you expect from Arcteryx; that is, fantastic. But then, it has some design decisions that I don't understand. First, sleeves. I understand that climbers need particularly long sleeves, but urban commuters (which I believe are the target users for this piece of garment) don't. The Covert has very long sleeves. To have them stand straight I need to pull them over my hands. And you don't want to fold them because the inside finish is much different than that of the outside. They are also very narrow; if you wear a sweatshirt underneath you'll need to grab the sweatshirt sleeve very tight and pull intensely to put the Covert on. If not, the sweatshirt sleeve will end up on your elbow. Such long sleeves might be good for bikers. The arm pocket is not particularly useful. I would very much prefer a well designed interior pocket for the phone. Another thing I cannot understand is why it does not have a hanging strap. With regards cut, I'm very thin and have no belly. I am 5 feet 9 and weight 150 pounds. Size S is perfect around the shoulders but has too much room around the belly. To make things worse, the Covert has an elastic waistband but the cut is not long so the waistband will end above your butt giving a bulky look around the belly. If you have one, great. If you are thin, not so good. I only look good with the Covert on if I continually pull the waist down or if I have my hands in the side pockets, which by the way are big and well lined and constructed. Long story short: quality materials and finish and perfect cut and design if you have a belly and long and thin arms.

I loved this cardigan when I got it, it looked so great. But as soon as I got it in the house it showed to be completely unwearable. I have a short haired pointer dog and its hair gets stuck in the fleece and it is absolutely impossible to get it all out. The only thing that works is to pull each hair out individually, which with the amount that gets stuck in there is unviable. It also holds on to other loose dirt badly. I have never had this problem with any other piece of clothing I own, including fleeces from other brands. Otherwise this cardigan is really great, so if you can keep it clean it's probably worth it. I suppose my jacket is probably faulty so others may no have the same issue. I really can't wear it out on the town it looks so bad. Maybe you could buy a lighter colour which hides dirt.

I had a previous version of this which pilled so I returned it with no issues for this jacket. I have had no issues with the new version and love it for wearing around the town on cool days. Works great to layer under a shell as well!
