Covert Cardigan Women's

I have several of these jackets that I have acquired over the years. They are a quality product, and feel nice to the touch, but the fit is nothing special. I preferred the cut of these 2 iterations ago where the lines were less straight and more fitted and tapered. (Not the baggy gang-banger look). This new slightly shorter straight cut is not flattering to women who have curves and are not straight up and down with no waist and who have narrow shoulders. It also is not as functional as the older ,trimmer fitting tapered cut. It puzzles me as to why arm the holes are so small when they have loosened the fit. Even as a 5'2"slim, very small but muscular 104 lb woman, they are too small and do not match the looser cut of these cardigans. I much prefer my older ones that were tighter in the bust and waist but were ample enough in the arm cutouts for a real person to find comfortable and to wear to work in a medical facility where it is constantly cold. I have taken these jackets camping and traveling and they have always been winners, but this cut limits the functionality for some. Of course these pieces are warm, but they require maintenance to remove the pilling that occurs with time. I think Arc'teryx needs to offer these jackets in a trim fit and a relaxed fit to better fit multiple body types... Just like they did with the Sentinel and other pieces in the last few years. Then, the customer would be able to dial the fit in better. I can wear either a small or an extra small normally in these., but even the medium has tiny arm holes, and they are all very tight in the shoulders for their size. Most athletic or sports oriented women do not have tiny shoulders and arms. Even my tiny grandmother would find the arm holes to be small.
