Arc'teryx Men's Covert Collar Zip

SAS - 2008-09-24

Excellent Fit and Quality
Excellent fit in both the body and sleeves. Same quality I've come to expect from Arc'teryx. Probably can be used as a second layer under a parka in very cold weather but is warm enough by itself (with perhaps a turtleneck or other long sleeve first layer) for most other times. The covert weave is also a nice change from the usual fleece. Like it a lot.

Great fleece sweater
This was my first Arcteryx purchase, and I was really pleased. I got this for my boyfriend, who loved it--he says it's really comfortable and fairly warm. The fit is perfect. I also really like the material.

The most comfortable piece I own!
I've had a favorite North Face pull-over forever that was my go-to top in the winter and for camping/fishing trips and this Arc'teryx piece made the decision to retire my NF one easy. Excellent product! I wear it all the time.

This piece rocks!
I just got one of these for my birthday, and I'm very impressed. The fit of the sleeves and hem are spot on, and the bicep pocket is a nice touch.

Stylish, Casual Sweater!
This Sweater is awessome, very stylish, warm, well-constructed, I'm totally satisfied. It is very good for casual use, as well as for some hiking in cold weather. If you are looking for a mid-layer inside a softshell, This is not good for that purpose because this sweater is thick. I bought the Garbanzo color, I love it.

My favorite fleece
This is clearly my favorite fleece. It is light, packs small and is extremely warm. Used primarily for canoe camping and nordic skiing, it's a great layer or outer garment. It kept me warm and comfortable even after an unplanned BWCA swim. It's my second one - lost the first at some unknown hotel.

Excellent look and fit!!!!
You just can't go wrong with Arc'teryx!!!...the men's covert collar zip not only looks great, but the fit and feel under a shell makes it ideal for skiing during cold and windy days. Surprisingly enough, the increased thickness and warmth does not compomise the flexibility of the garment. My overall experience with Arc'teryx products has been superb!!!, the extra bucks you spend are definitely paid off in durability,exceptional looks, fit, and confort. Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warmth without Bulk!
Needed a mid layer to go under my Arc'teryx Sidewinder. The Covert collar zip is great. It allows me to put 0 to 2 thinner layers on under it without impeding movement. I needed a large and it fit perfect. Long enough to tuck into ski pant, not bulky in armpit, not tight at neck. Very nice construction. My wife even said that it was a great fleece shirt. You get what you pay for. I'm very happy!

The best mid weight thermal layer I own!
I am a gear junkie. The Covert Collar rocks! I had been looking for a 200 weight thermal layer for a while. The Covert Collar is the ultimate in both function and style. It is warm, soft and thanks to Arc'teryx tailoring, it fits perfectly. Worn with a capaline baselayer and a shell over, it makes for the perfect mountain thermal for all but the coldest/stormiest days. I really like the close but flexable fit. Worn in the city under a leather jacket, it looks like marino wool, but has a cool high tech style. Its super light, very packable and dries in no time. This will be my garment of choice for travel and for the mountains. Yet another uber gear win from the folks at Arc'teryx.

Quality fleece
Great fleece shirt. Thicker than the original fleece shirts that showed up years ago. Zipper on the neck is not tight, and is not felt as you move. Length on the arms is good and is long in the back to protect your back. A little more expensive than some others, but well worth it.

COZY!
A very sharp looking pullover. Is original in the sense that it actually looks like a wool/knit top. The fuzz is on the inside. Nice!

Perfect?
Really light weight, warm and cosy yet not too hot, fitted perfectly as soon as I took it off the hanger in the shop. One of those things you know that once you try it on, you really are going to buy it. Expensive but worth it, a really classy fleece that won't be going near any mud for the first few months!

Stylish and functional pullover
This Arc'teryx pullover is the first piece I have owned of this brand. I must say that I am very impressed with the quality and can't wait to buy another item from this company. The pullover is very comfortable and is sharp enough to wear as a top layer on an evening out.
