Fit Tip
Fit Tip for the Men's Covert Cardigan Hoody: At 5'7'' this full zip hoody fit me well in a size (M). The sleeves and jacket length were normal for this style.
Description
Ideal as chilly weather outerwear or as a middle layer in winter, the Arc'teryx Covert Hoody has a special Polartec® Thermal Pro® sweater knit that looks like wool, but it has a soft, itch-free texture that doesn't permanently stretch a size with extended use....
Read More...It seems like every active wear manufacturer has at least a half dozen hoody offerings but Arc'teryx made their Covert Hoody strikingly different with an innovative Polartec® Thermal Pro® sweater knit fabric. The fabric looks like wool but it's easier to launder and doesn't have the permanent stretch concerns. Beneath the sleeves are underarm gussets so you can extend your reach above your head without feeling exposed down along the hem. The Arc'teryx Covert Hoody is functional outerwear for hiking, running and camping in cool weather.
- Breathable and fast-drying 100% polyester 10-oz. Polartec® Thermal Pro® sweater knit fabric
- Gusseted underarms keep you covered even while reaching
- Laminated zippers on sleeve pocket and two handwarmer pockets

- Full-length front zipper
- Weight: 20 oz. (568 g.) in medium size

This is a cool item The best outerwear deal going-feels like wool, acts like fleece. The style is just right for the field or a casual night out. Good fit to your true size.

Great Jacket Great jacket. Nice athletic fit and looks good. Favorite all around fleece to run errands around town. No wind resistance, so if a cold wind is blowing it makes a great mid-layer for warmth. Very cold weather will require a warmer fleece unless I'm skiing or other very active activity.

Arc'teryx: Men's Covert Cardigan Hoody Great product, worth every penny. I use this as a mid layer for skiing. Not the best for an outer layer because it does not block wind at all. It has a very classy look and it is made with an extremely soft grade of fleece. Order one size larger than you normally would. Try any of the Arc'teryx products and you will be hooked, just be prepared to sticker shock.

pretty hip Well made, casual looking, great for apres ski. Like other arcteryx this is a quality piece of clothing. I especially apreciate the zippers which are always smooth as silk.

Top quality cozy fleece This fleece is a great insulating layer, or perfect for lounging around on lazy sundays. The unique construction of the hoody makes the fleece look more like a woven sweater but with fleece feel and qualities. This hoody used with a shell will provide a comfortable outdoor experience. The fit of the cardigan is true to size. As with all arcteryx pieces the quality and attention to detail shines brightly.

A great product I have to say that I love Arcteryx stuff, in my opinion its the best gear money can buy. It just seems like it will last forever.
I am very glad I purchased the Arcteryx Covert Hoody. Its a great urban zip up, very comfortable. The hood lays just right, and never gets in the way. The pockets are in the perfect spot. All the zippers work nice and smooth. The only down side is, that it has no wind stopping ability. Even though it may cost a lot, its well worth it.

VERy nice!! As usual arcteryx exceeds the standards with this product. Is it expensive? HECK YEAH IT IS! Is it worth it? well, i'm not really sure any hoody is worth that much but it is an incredible piece that is extremely soft and warm. you will obvioiusly need to layer under a windproof shell or outer layer but you can't beat it for insulation (except for the Maverick AR, which is by far my favorite article of clothing). the fit is right on...it fits close and athletic. I definately recommend this to anyone with the funds and the love for arcteryx.

Great style My husband finds this fleece to be flatteringly stylish...roomy but not overdone. It's extremely well-made,soft, and very light. His only concern is that it may not be warm enough, but with some type of undergarment, I'm sure it will be. It's perfect for most Florida winter weather.

Amazing product from Arcteryx! Beautiful jacket, great material, total comfort and versatility. Works on its own from anywhere between 10C & -10C. I layer it under my Gamma MX Hoody for a perfect combo in colder weather. Very pill resistant, you can throw it in the wash without fear. The only downside is that it isn't very wind resistant, so if there's a strong breeze you might feel a bit of chill. Way more upside than down though, fersure. Great jacket!
