Pills instantly. Poor quality

This jacket pulled immediately which was not expected from a synthetic fiber garment. I tried to remove the pills with a sweater stone which ended up damaging and ruining the jacket. Would NOT recommend. I’ll be donating this piece.

clumsy, hot without wind but cold slight breeze

a month ago
I bought lots of items, this is the worst item from arcteryx. 1. it is stiff, heavy. 2. it looks thick but, it doesn't keep even a little heat once it is windy, even it is not windy, just a little breeze, you will feel code. 3. but you will feel super hot if are you in the room or somewhere without wind, then you can't help but taking it off. 3. the touch doesn't feel well.

Soft and warm

a month ago
The jacket is warm and a good fit for 5’7 180lbs with an athletic build. The only complaint is the jackets are always too long in the sleeve. It seems the clothes are fit for someone who’s 6ft or above which is not the average height . It would great if this concern is addressed but I doubt it will. I have more than dozen Arc’teryx pieces and the sleeves are always too long

Beautiful Cardigan, Size issue for me

2 months ago
The Jacket is really beautiful but for me its the sizing that kinda ruins the fit of the Jacket. From the neck to chest i’m a L but under my chest to hip i’m a M, for reference i’m 5’10, 175lbs and 40,2” chest with wide shoulders. I’m kinda between sizes but i have to size up if not i’m tight in the chest area and restricts what i can wear under the jacket so for a more versatile jacket i have to buy an L but the fit isn’t that bad but isnt great either(for 220 Canadian dollars)… if Arcteryx maybe can add 1inch to the M (chest area) or reduce 1 inch for the L.. chest Sizing for the size (M 40”) (L 43”) following the size chart.

Material pills quite easily.

2 months ago
Garment was worn 3-4 times and never washed. Around the waist and arms the material started to pill quite heavily. Arc’teryx told me to purchase a fabric shaver to remedy the issue… Most of their products are very good just not this one.

Does the Job for my Hiking needs.

2 months ago
Hiking Shepard up at 4am and on the trail by 5:45am. Fits like a second skin - no drafts between fabric to skin. Plus, the breathability works well when the body begins to heat up on elevation gains/sun peaking up from the horizon and the day begins to warm. We've had a few mornings in the 30 degree range here in Southern California and the Covert Cardigan has been my go to fleece. Do like the zipper front for added breathability when the weather begins to warm up. Well thought out utility pocket on the left arm - great for car FOB. I like to minimize stuff in my pants pockets when on long mountain hikes. With that said it could use an inside Cell phone pocket. Bonus - it looks great and Fair Trade factory produced!

Good solid sweater

Practical everyday fleece cardigan and vital layer

5 months ago
Not understanding the ridiculously tiny pocket in the sleeve. Also, your "new" sizing chart is not helpful. You say large has become even larger while medium stayed the same - so I ordered medium which was too tight and did an exchange at your retail store. The build quality seems excellent, fleece maybe a little thicker than my black Covert from several years ago. I like the garment, although wind does sail right through the fabric.

Sizing and Fabric issues….

5 months ago
I have a covert cardigan that I’ve had over ten years - it’s still going strong, but thought I’d buy another. Having received, both the fabric is sooo much different, and the sizing is all over the shop. I’m a size small, and my old fleece is a small… ordered a small and it’s tiny… I’m a small though, not a medium… not sure why I need to be sizing up for this. Disappointing, as having to return it.

Nice product but with a Zip from a cheap hoodie!

6 months ago
I’ve had Arc’teryx before and been a happy customer. My initial thought on opening the box this time was; the material, the fit, all good. But the zip! Cheap as chips. Feels very fragile and I don’t expect it to last. No chance of fastening it with gloves on. It’s also (minor niggle) mounted the “wrong” side (female). This is meant to be a premium product. Very disappointed in the quality of the zip. C’mon folks, it’s your reputation! I feel let down.

Really good multipurpose fleece!

Used this fleece for pretty much everything, from hiking to wearing it in an office. Very versatile and kept me warm accordingly. I have to say it does have a more fitted fit and is decently thick.

From the backcountry to casual dinners; Rune color

7 months ago
Hands down my favorite jacket, I own the recently new color Rune and retired a dark pine green one I got back in 2016. Just love this color and the jacket is the best on the market when it comes to the details that you wear long term. If you’re looking at PATAGONIA better sweater, and evaluating whether you should go with this…. I would go with the covert cardigan 10 times out of 10. Get the jacket, great to dress up for a casual dinner and then take it on long chilly hike the next.
