warm and sleek

4 months ago
This is the warmest jacket I've had of this weight. Great for layering, instantly makes me feel warmer. Sometimes even a little too warm for ice climbing! The material has held up well after a lot of wearing and washing. The fit is very nice however the tailored feel does restrict arm movement a little bit, so I wear it more for skiing than ice climbing however it works fine for both.

New fit does not fit at all

6 months ago
Ordered this in size small which is my usual size in all top items. However, the new fit is really weird. The shoulder section is perfect, the arms are very tight and the stomach is very large. I know they wanted to make a more modern cut for the covert, but this is not flattering at all and not oversized in the trending way. I was looking forward to replace my covert cardigan that I had lost, but I am now a bit confused as to how to replace it now that the fit has changed and does not suit me at all.

Warm

6 months ago
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.

So cozy

6 months ago
I wasn't originally going to purchase this jacket as I wasn't that keen on the overall look of the cardi (it felt a little more suitable for my mum). However, after hearing so much love for it from my colleagues I went ahead and got the forage colourway in size Small. I'm sold! this is such a lovely cardi to wear, its incredibly soft on the inside and so cozy. I'll be wearing it around the house when I'm working or relaxing, perhaps for air travel too. I've washed it and its retained size and shape well (washed on a medium heat, reg wash. no tumble). I usually wear a size small (I'm between a UK 8-10) Reason for the 4 rather than a solid 5, the smell when it arrived was incredibly strong. I took it out the package and it was headache inducing, however after a wash its completely gone.

Good Warmth for Spontaneous Trips

6 months ago
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 :)

Horrible fit

7 months ago
My most beloved item of clothing for many, many years. Now ruined. I believe I have about ten of this formerly perfect cardigan. The new fit is horrible. Boxy, unattractive, too short, and - worst of all - the sleeves are so tight it is impossible to where anything underneath the cardigan. Sorry, but you have lost one of your most faithful costumers.

Agree-they do not make these like they used to. They are boxy and the sleeves are tight. I have three and the last two were not great like years ago. My first one from many years ago was the best thing I ever purchased-I hope they go back to their former design. Please Arc’teryx listen to your customers and go back to the old design/material. For the price you pay this should be more flattering. I ordered one size up to accommodate a shirt underneath and it looks like a tent. Sadly, I will not purchase my favourite clothing article unless it goes back to the former design.

So diappointed

8 months ago
I should have read the reviews. I have this awesome sweater from about 5+ years ago, in graphite, size L. I thought getting another color would be a great idea since I love my first one so much. It was slightly large to fit over my uniform, but still shapely enough to be attractive. It was perfect. Sadly, the fit has been revised. When I received my regear Covert, I was really disappointed. It's also non-returnable. So, don't do what I did. If you're reading this, believe the reviews. The fit is boxy/baggy now, and the arms are narrow. While I'm not as athletic as I used to be, and I like a larger fit, this is NOT flattering. There's zero shape. Take my naturally larger hausfrau arms into consideration, and the arms are just too snug to be comfortable. It's not good. Don't buy this one until it gets another retro-fit, or unless you're apple-shaped with spindly arms. I'll wear it, because it's still great quality,...but I am sad.

An odd fit

10 months ago
I purchased this cardigan in 2021, and absolutely loved everything about it. Have been considering buying another ever since, and when the Alpine Rose color was released I jumped at the chance! The color is beautiful, it is extremely warm and quality material, however the fit is really odd as if each component is a mixture of sizes! The large fit well across the shoulders, arms and collar, but the rest of the cardigan was shaped like a pear! It isn't just a straight fit, it actually bells out from the armpits down to the pockets where it seems to tailor in again down to the hem. It was so bizarre! I then tried the medium thinking I had the sizing wrong, but it was tight across the shoulders, zero space in the arms, the collar was rather tight, and the 'waist' was still WAY TOO WIDE across my body. I have a rather normal athletic shape but it's difficult to imagine what shape or activity this was built for. I want to love it, but until the fitting is corrected I'll wait.

Too Hot, Too scratchy, Too large for a size medium

11 months ago
The Arc'teryx Covert 'lightweight'' jacket is not a well designed jacket . Your arms do not slide into this jacket easily if you are wearing a long sleeve cotton t shirt. This jacket is 100% synthetic making it really hot and not at all cool even if it is lightweight. If you are going to wear a synthetic t shirt underneath this jacket you will overheat and be very uncomfortable because your body will not be able to breath from all the synthetic fibers of the t shirt and jacket. The 100% polyester fabric is not smooth it is rough on the skin, if you have sensitive skin this jacket is not for you. I thought polyester would be smooth and gentle on my skin it is not. Since this jacket is so hot to wear, it needs under arm vents/zippers to keep the wearer's body cool. Also, I am small in size but have long arms yet the arms on this jacket are much longer than needed for a size medium. I measured my bust as 35 inches. According to your size chart a 35 is a medium, I bought 2 of these jackets in different colors both size medium, they are too large. I am a caregiver to my 93 year old father, I am too busy and tired to start a return request authorization on both therefore, I am stuck with two scratchy, too hot and too large, covert jackets.

Great sweater jacket

a year ago
I have had this sweater jacket for a few years now and I am still in love with it. It works well when I want to wear it in the office over a thin blouse. Casual, but still stylish! I am 5'3" and about 165 pounds and I wear a size large. If you are either more petite or on the slimmer side then yes this jacket may be a bit more boxy, but as you can see I am not so it fits me perfectly

Excellence in design and quality

a year ago
This is my third covert (cardigan + 1/4 zip) purchased recently. Love the new style; a little more roomier that allows for better movement and supports different base layers. Quality and warmth are 5/5. Always order M, inspire of being 5’4” and an athletic shape. Excellent coverage. Use mainly hiking and around town.
