Covert Cardigan

Excellent jacket, comfortably design and quality material. I would recommend this jacket to friends and family.

I like this cardigan and have now purchased 3:black, royal blue, and lavender. They look neat, are the correct length, and allow me to move freely while wearing them. Good for cool weather and plane travel when flighrs run cold.

I own a few of these cardigans in 3 different sizes due to recent weight loss. I still use the larger ones (that I have had for years!) around the house and they still look great. They just don't wear out and I wear them every day that's chilly enough. They wash well and come out looking like new.

I have several of these jackets that I have acquired over the years. They are a quality product, and feel nice to the touch, but the fit is nothing special. I preferred the cut of these 2 iterations ago where the lines were less straight and more fitted and tapered. (Not the baggy gang-banger look). This new slightly shorter straight cut is not flattering to women who have curves and are not straight up and down with no waist and who have narrow shoulders. It also is not as functional as the older ,trimmer fitting tapered cut. It puzzles me as to why arm the holes are so small when they have loosened the fit. Even as a 5'2"slim, very small but muscular 104 lb woman, they are too small and do not match the looser cut of these cardigans. I much prefer my older ones that were tighter in the bust and waist but were ample enough in the arm cutouts for a real person to find comfortable and to wear to work in a medical facility where it is constantly cold. I have taken these jackets camping and traveling and they have always been winners, but this cut limits the functionality for some. Of course these pieces are warm, but they require maintenance to remove the pilling that occurs with time. I think Arc'teryx needs to offer these jackets in a trim fit and a relaxed fit to better fit multiple body types... Just like they did with the Sentinel and other pieces in the last few years. Then, the customer would be able to dial the fit in better. I can wear either a small or an extra small normally in these., but even the medium has tiny arm holes, and they are all very tight in the shoulders for their size. Most athletic or sports oriented women do not have tiny shoulders and arms. Even my tiny grandmother would find the arm holes to be small.

I now have two of these jackets: black and this one which is a light blue/lavender/gray. They are warm without being puffy or fluffy and fit well. The length is just right, and they are comfortable. I do wish it came in navy blue, also.

I bought this jacket but still haven't removed the tags as I'm concerned over the sizing. I just received the wool long sleeve top that I planned on wearing under this. The problem, like many others mentioned is the tight sleeves. The arms stick to the wool sleeves of what would be my base layer. I have to pull and tug to get everything in the right place, it still feels like the arms and shoulders are tight and the body is boxy. I plan on returning.

The fit is terrible. I'm 5'5" and 130 lbs(size 6).I ordered the medium. The armpit and sleeves are too tight and the body is too big and wide. I can't even fit the Rho zip lightweight base layer underneath comfortably. My other items are a size medium (in a base layer and vest) and are a bit roomy on me. What is going on with the designers??

I'm a Arcteryx loyal customer. I bought the black color a few weeks ago. I only worn one day for a local hiking. after one washing, it had so many pills and lint roller did not help at all. The material has something wrong with it. May be different color would not show these pills.

I love everything Arcteryx except not this cardigan. Boxy but with very long narrow arms. Arms were tight, and the fleece was not very flexible or giving so tightness was a problem. Returning it.

The quality appears to be excellent --- and if it's anything like the men's, I know it is because my partner has had one of these for about 6 years, uses it all the time, and it's still in like-new condition. I've wanted one like his for ages, but the fit is so off. I'm 5'9", 155lbs, quite fit. I ordered the medium. The shoulder width is fine, the arm length is just about long enough, but the torso is not only too short, but way too wide. It looks like I'm wearing a cardboard box. The large will be way too wide, given that the medium is already wide. I'm so sad that I'll have to return it.
