LOVE THE NEW COLOURS

a year ago
I recently purchased two of the Covert Cardigans in Storm Glow (M) and Velocity Heather (S). Due to the redesign I had to size down in the Velocity Heather as I found the arms too bulky. I LOVE these cardigans and I’m super excited to see some new colours in this line; way more feminine looking. This product is a closet staple in my household, my husband and I love them and wear them all year round!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a great quality fleece to layer under other Arc’teryx products or as a stand alone piece.

Disappointed the zipper fell apart

a year ago
This was my favourite fleece but the zipper broke-it just fell apart. The fleece itself is in perfect condition but is useless without a zipper. This is an expensive fleece to have the zipper malfunction.

So disappointed in revised fit

a year ago
I bought this cardigan a few years back and LOVED it, so much so that I bought another one in exactly the same size. Sadly, the revised fit doesn't work at all for me -- too boxy through the body and the arms are way too tight. I unfortunately gave it away to a friend.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Very Good Cardigan, But!

a year ago
After 24 hours in spouse’s hands, she likes the Cardigan. She noted that the sleeve openings for her hands seem small. I note that the sleeves are not lined so removing her long sleeved arm is a chore. However she wants to keep it.

I wish this sweater had a little more flexibility/stretch and that you brought back the “Solitude Heather “ - the Atmos just isn’t as nice a shade. The Solitude Heather colour looks really clean and classy.

Best Cardigan Ever

a year ago
I bought this a couple days ago and so happy that they came out with more bright colors for this line. The covert cardigan is definitely a warm and versatile fleece staple in my collection. I basically lived in it for the winter because I can go anywhere with it, dress up or keep it casual. I got the black Heather on last December and definitely love that so no hesitation on getting another in my favorite color. Just note that with the usual new updates in this style, I would be wearing a M for a better fit while S would still fit yet tight around the arms now.

Warm, but spoiled by nylon pieces /pockets

a year ago
Warm, but the fleece lining makes it difficult to get on and off even over a cotton turtleneck, and the bulk means it does not lie that well. I also dislike the silly hard nylon sections by the pockets and can't imagine what I'd use the tiny sleeve pocket for. Overall disappointed. The large fits OK- I an 5'7" with 40 inch bust and hips.

Cozy and Beautiful

a year ago
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS FLEECE. I bought it in heather/gray. It is a rich beautiful color that goes with everything!!! Dress up or down. I love that it is a little looser at the bottom. It is warm, cozy and like wrapping yourself in a soft blanket! I'm serious! This fleece makes you feel like you are curled up by the fire with a good book...no matter where you are, you are safe and warm... You feel dressed up yet casual at the very same time

Strange cut

a year ago
Great material and features, but the cut did not work for me at all. I have slim arms, yet the arms of this cardigan were uncomfortably tight. In contrast, there was lots of loose fabric around my middle. The overall effect was just weird.
