Another beauty in the Covert series

Rating:*****
I have the zip-neck pullover, the vest, the hoody and now this cardigan in the Arcteryx Covert series and I LOVE all of them. Carefully detailed construction, soft, durable and unique fabric, and beautiful unusual colors make every Covert item a super addition to your stuff. Can wear as a "nicer" sweater-jacket or as a tougher, warm mid-layer - for indoors or out. Very lightweight but always warm when I need it to be. One of the great things I have found with Arcteryx is that its sizing is consistent! Yea! Only the vest, for me at least, seems to run a touch big in the large and a touch small in the medium. BUY THIS; YOU WON'T BE SORRY!

Awesome jacket

Rating:*****
Simply put, I LOVE my covert cardigan. It's about the same weight as most fleece jackets, but much more stylish. Like regular fleece, it's not windproof, but it is warm and cozy for cool weather. The fit is rather slim, so you can easily add a shell on top for cold, windy days. Mine started to pill a little bit after wearing it non-stop for two seasons, but I just took a cheap "de-piller" that I bought at a drug store and went over it for about a minute and it looked good as new. In a nutshell, I highly recommend this jacket - it's awesome!

Thumbs up

This is very warm and well made jacket. It is more of a boxy fit than fitted. I am 5'4" 140 lb with a short torso so the Large fits me slightly loosely without looking baggy and is extremely comfortable. The color is not as shown on the screen. I originally ordered the jade but it looks like a green M & M. I returned it for the cornflower and really like the blue color. It is a two-tone jacket and the darker tone is darker than shown on the computer. I highly recommend.

I purchased this is 3 different colors!

Rating:*****
This material does pill after time, but one can use a pill shaver (not sure of the exact name for it) to remove and it is back to new again. I love to add a scarf for a pop of color and dressier look. My best friend has two of these and that is why I finally purchased. My favorite colors are the raisin and other redish color.

"Warm and great fit!"

Rating:*****
Love the fit of this cardigan. It is very flattering to the female figure. Fitted through the body and long enough to keep the chill from creeping up your back (especially while wearing low cut jeans or riding my crotch rocket) Very warm. Great cool weather jacket or cold weather layer. Not windproof but then it doesn't claim to be. And the fern green color is awesome!

"A cmfy functiional jacket that fits us tall girls"

Rating:*****
Best Features It fits! I am 5'11 and kinda busty so that is saying a lot. I usually wear a 12-14 and the XL fit perfectly! The black matches my coonhound Worst Feature It made me fit in with the upper middle class republicans while on vacation to the Cherry Republic. A nice Darwin button should take care of that!

My favorite fleece

Rating:*****
I have bought several of these jackets, which blend the best of a soft sweater and an outdoor fleece. The Covert has a more fitting shape than most fleeces, so you can wear it in town or on the trail. It manages to be very comfortable, not too fitting, not too warm.

Flattering and warm at the same time

Rating:*****
I love this jacket so much I now own three of them in different colors. It's form-fitting, not the least bit bulky, and much warmer than you would think given how light-weight it is. If in doubt, buy the larger size.

Superb deal!!!!

Rating:*****
I bought this jacket for my sister for X Mas 04 and she loves it. Excellent quality & great price. FYI - Arc Teryx items are fitted and are best suited for those with good physiques (ie no beer bellies)!

"Great fit, soft material, vivid color. Great Buy!"

Rating:*****
This is super comfortable. The color selection is great, the green is super pretty. Fits true to size, if not a little snug. Lightweight but confident that it will keep me warm. Love it. Worth the money.

"Very expensinve sweater..."

Rating:***
I had to take this jacket back, wasn't what I was looking for. If you want a sweater to use as a layering piece, this is a great product. If you are looking for an everyday jacket that blocks wind and will keep you warm, this is not the jacket for you. It is also short. I'm 5'9" inches and the arm length was great, the torso length, too short. The raisin color is very attractive though!
Jennifer at Moosejaw on 10/04/2009

Beautiful but runs very small

Rating:***
Runs small. The fabric is wonderful and the color beautiful, but the sleeves and body were too form fitting and I had already sized up reference other reviews. Didn't like the shorter front either. It should have been left longer all the way around.
