Wonderful....but

4 years ago
I love everything about this jacket except it’s really cumbersome to put on when with any number of baselayer materials! It’s the nature of the fleece but it causes you to have to hold the cuff of your shirt sleeve and fight to pull the jacket on. That’s the only thing stopping it being 5 star!

Comfy, but will pill fast

4 years ago
Bought this about 2 months ago as a lightweight option in and out of the office and on my adventures as a soft layer. In that role, it's good. My only issue so far is the pulling that has occurred around the zipper. I'm not wearing it under any layers very often, but it started fairly quickly. So be aware you might need to take action once a season.
Q: Pros:

Full Zip Covert Cardigan

I have a Covert full zip which was from a prior season (2018) as well as one that was recently purchased. I am not able to always get Arcteryx gear and fit in person as many stores do not readily stock what I'm looking for. This was a purchase made online based on measurements and my size. What is unusual about this cardigan is the tight fit of the sleeves and the tight underarm. If I wear the sweater with anything but a thin T shirt, the elbows are far too tight, and the underarms wick moisture occasionally. I'm 6'0", 190 lbs with a 34" arm, and the sleeves cover my knuckles. The body fits okay across the chest, so I would hate to go up a size and have even longer sleeves! Not sure who these sweaters are designed for. On the positive side, the garment is extremely well made. I don't seem to experience the pilling described in posts here, though I'm also not machine washing the sweater. Earlier Covert sweaters were wool blend (yes, very high quality), the new versions are woven synthetic facing with liner. I do see the collar has been redesigned for 2020 to a more cuff-style instead of the older structured panel design. Personally, the new cut looks ordinary and doesn't present as a high end garment. I could compare with other brands, but was advised not to do so. Let's just say it's a disappointment, given the usually high standards from Arcteryx. I appreciate the high quality of the garments, but a bit of attention to the fit and collar for 'normal' people might be something to consider.

Bonjour, Merci de votre commentaire et nous sommes désolé d'apprendre que la fabrique du Covert ne convient pas à vos besoin. En effet, un produit avec un tissu polaire peut être accrochant lorsque vous portez des manches longues à l'intérieur. Dépendamment de vos préférences personnelles, il serait peut-être plus confortable de mettre un chandail à manches courtes en dessous du Covert étant donné le tissu intérieur doux et cotonneux. Bien à vous,

Doesn’t Hold Up the ArcTeryx Standard

5 years ago
Like many of the other reviews mentioned before me, this sweater jacket piles quite a bit. I’m not sure if it’s the revised model or an existing issue. Upon my first wash it was somewhat noticeable and each wash after only made it worse. I’ve begun to mitigate this by washing the jacket inside out. Also worrying is that the fabric near my elbows seems to be wearing out from leaning on my desk after only a month of use. That being said, it feels fantastic and far better than say, the Patagonia equivalent, which is why it’s disappointing that the exterior fabric isn’t holding up that well. If I were able to go back, I’d purchase something else from the ArcTeryx inventory instead.

I’ve now owned this zip up for two months but it looks like I’ve owned it for 5+ years. As you can see in the image, the pilling has not subsided. It’s unfortunate that this issue isn’t noticeable until after washing it (and voiding any possibility of a return). It’s also unfortunate that this jacket is under the same name as the prior model. Any smart consumer can see that as soon as the new model was released, all the reviews were either one or two stars. “Mixing” these reviews with the great reviews from the previous model skews the total rating completely.
