Summary

The Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan is a warm mid-weight fleece jacket with a sweater-knit look designed for general, everyday use and front-country wear. It’s comfortable and stylish, with soft interior fleece, but it’s not the softest and can feel bulky; it performs adequately for casual outings or light hikes, though backcountry performance is not its strength.

Pros

  • +Soft jersey-knit cuffs
  • +100% recycled polyester
  • +Laminated low-profile pockets

Cons

  • -Wind permeable
  • -Fleece is not the softest
  • -Bunches in elbows
  • -Expensive
