Zipper destroyed with light minimal use

I seem to get more and more disappointed by arc'teryx as time goes by. Very poor quality in a lot of the pieces. Definitely a company moving toward fast fashion. amy cardigan ripped apart at the zipper and when i went for returns i sent the photos etc and never got anywhere. The worst part? I'm recently disabled. So, no rock climbing incident, no hike, just me doing nothing other than putting the jacket on. I kept buying arc'teryx after i got injured kind of out of habit (my daughter always wants to go on a random hike so i just defaulted to hiking clothes as my wardrobe. I thought if the clothes last a really long time it's better for the enviornment too) but have decide that I no longer trust arcteryx to be durable, their designs have been off lately as well (pockets on another pair of pants i bout terribly designed things fall out easily etc) maybe if there's some big change or huge shift but if you can't survive wheel chair duty you can't survive anything. It's like saying a guy sitting in a cubicle is abusing the gear. ead.

Hi Kephra. Thank you for sharing your experience — we're truly sorry to hear about the issue with your Covert Cardigan and the frustration you’ve had with the return process. While the Covert is designed primarily for casual and light-use warmth, it should absolutely hold up to everyday wear, including mobility-related use. Your feedback on recent product design and function — from pocket placement to long-term durability — is incredibly important, and we’ve shared your concerns with our design team.

Good luck

Poor quality. The center zipper, where the material is stitched, is flawed. Also, the new sizing SUCKS. Why make the small smaller and the large larger while keeping the medium the same? Break the incremental sizing and leave us with no options. Great job. Also, returning this item is a mess. They only allow you to use UPS. Ok, fine. However, there is no UPS store within 30 minutes of my house. I went online to get help and entered all my info into the return portal again to check for other options. Well, now it started the same return ALL OVER AGAIN. So which freaking label do I use now? The first? Second? Neither? How is this even possible? Messaged support, and it says they should reply in three days. Well, lovely, because the return window (getting closer to thirty days--the max) is ticking quickly. Outstanding leadership up there. This company has definitely gone downhill.

Love the covert

I actually have three covert pieces and I love each and every one of them. I wear them all the time, even in a work setting. The heathery look of the material is attractive and it really keeps you warm inside and outside. If you’re working really hard outside though, even in winter, you can get hot quickly

Needs some love

Like many, I’m disappointed in the evolution of this product. - fit is larger in L and XL than previous iterations, noticeably wider in the body and looks less polished. - even a light breeze cuts right through the fabric - pilling is an issue, but it’s generally smaller than I’ve seen on traditional sweaters - collar height is a low and narrow on my neck - colours have gotten progressively worse - zippers are consistent and good - pockets are good for warm, the zipper can be sharp, great design would sandwich the teeth between more durable fabrics -length and sleeve are both good

Hi Dan. Thanks for the detailed feedback on the Covert Cardigan. We’re glad to hear the zippers, pockets, and fit in the sleeves and length are working for you, but we understand the disappointment with changes to the fit, collar, and wind resistance. The evolution of this piece is ongoing, and insights like yours help guide future refinements. We’ll pass your notes to the design team.

They changed - not for the best.

I have bought many of these over the years - sadly they seem to wear out faster now. Also despite following the care instructions piling seems faster than ever too. Not sure why. The colour selection isn’t as good as it once was but at least they keep grey/black :)

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not well engineered

Don’t buy. Bottom hem curls and looks sloppy. Arcteryx warranty claims it was a wear and tear issue and wouldn’t replace it. This turned me off of Arcteryx as a whole.

Hi there. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Covert Cardigan. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the hem configuration. We appreciate your comments and we will make sure to pass your comments to our team.

Same comment on the curling bottom hem. I own three covert cardigans. One of three has the curling bottom hem. All roughly the same age, wear, and tear.
