Great Base Layer

2 years ago
This is a must for me when I am out skiing in the winter. It fits nicely under my snow jacket and keeps me warm all day. As for sizing, I have found going TTS to be ideal if you're looking for a snug fit, I also bought one a size up that I like to wear when I want it to be a bit baggier. For reference, I am 6'1 215lbs and the large fits me snug while the XL is what I would wear baggy.
Q: Pros:
A: extremely warm, very comfortable

Best fleece I've ever owned

2 years ago
I bought this back in 2018 and have worn it almost every day since. It looks almost new, it's super warm and comfortable, and it's streamlined and stylish enough that I can wear it to nice occasions without looking like a ragtag outdoorsy person. The fit is also perfect (for reference, I'm 170, 5'9, athletic build, and the Medium is perfect for me). Arc'teryx, please don't change anything about this fleece or discontinue it. Perfect as is.
Q: Pros:
A: Great fit, durable, comfortable
Q: Cons:
A: None. Perfect as is.
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, camping, skiing, mountaineering, lounging

Yes, I recommend this product.

By far my favorite fleece

3 years ago
I've owned the most popular fleeces from a number of top outdoor brands, and I finally found one that I love. While this is considerably less technical than much of Arc'teryx's gear, it's equally high quality. I purchased a covert cardigan just to try it out and liked it so much I bought 2 more in different colors. Fit is great, pockets are deep and well-placed, durability is excellent - you'll get some minor pilling, but that's par for the course. It's very warm and soft as well. It works great as a casual layer on cool, dry & still days, and layers OK under a shell to stop the wind. That said, it is not at all impervious to wind, so if you expect wind, you may very well need another layer to stop the wind. Overall great versatile fleece, but avoid if you're looking for something on the more technical side.
Q: Pros:
A: Great cut, durable, build quality
Q: Cons:
A: Non-technical, lets wind in
Q: Activity
A: Casual/Around town, less useful for high output activity

Yes, I recommend this product.

allergic caused due to material

I bought this 1 week ago, and worn couple hours, my whole back ha red rash and family doctor said it was allergic to the material, then I contacted the customer services, and told them the the situation, and the customer services said any worn item and without tag on cannot refund. I am a loyalty customer for ARC'TERYX for long times,. Right now I feel so frustrated, please be advised what I can do for this situation.
Q: Cons:
A: bad customer servces.

Good and bad

3 years ago
I’ve had this fleece about 3/4 months. The cut & feel are excellent but I have to agree with other reviews that the pilling of the material is unacceptable for a top end item. Solve this & it would be a five star review.
Q: Pros:
A: Great fit,warmth,clean style/cut
Q: Cons:
A: Pilling of the material.
Q: Activity
A: Walking/day to day.

No, I do not recommend this product.

WARNING: Pills excessively, I’ve tried everything

3 years ago
The only way to make this sweater wearable is to spend 20 minutes to an hour de-pilling it. Don’t waste your money. Arcteryx typically as a rule puts forth amazing quality however the covert cardigan sweater is the exception to that rule.
Q: Pros:
A: Style
Q: Cons:
A: Quality/pilling/lint magnet

Hi there, I agree, piling is terrible. Very disappointed. I too complained but Arc'teryx said it was normal wear and tear.

Warm, soft and good fit

4 years ago
After reading through the reviews on this I was concerned about pilling however there doesn't seem to be happening on mine so far! I wear a backpack most days and no pilling on the shoulders yet where it rubs. The jacket is warm, soft and fits really well. It looks pretty smart so I'll be using both casually and at work in! The only tiny niggle I have is that the cuffs could be a little tighter. Although they do still work well and spring back to shape even after wearing it with the sleeves pulled up all day. Possibly one of my favourite pieces and fits well under my Atom LT, Zeta AR and Interstate Jackets.
Q: Pros:
A: Warm, Soft, Good Fit
Q: Cons:
A: None so far
Q: Activity
A: Everyday, Day Walks

Yes, I recommend this product.

Glad yours did not pill but I wanted to stress that this is not the case across the board. 1 month into wearing mine as a stand alone sweater in the office it began pilling across nearly every inch. Regardless of rub or friction areas. I could’ve got a lemon but in that case Arcteryx will not help as it is “normal wear and tear”
