Description of Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan Full-Zip Sweater - Men's:
Take your girlfriend to a nice dinner at Chez Quis in the Arc’teryx Covert Full-Zip Sweater. After dinner, just take off your tie and the two of you can head into the backcountry for a little moonlight ski touring. Later on, when your wife catches you sneaking in the house, you’ll be thankful for the Covert’s breathability as she chases you around the house with a frying pan.
No-lift gusseted underarms prevent the sweater from riding up when you reach across the table for a delicious buttery roll
Full front zip makes it easy to get in and out of
Two hand pockets keep your hands warm, laminated sleeve pocket keeps your ID safe
Bottom Line: And yeah, you deserve that pan-shaped gash on your head. Scumbag.

what's the most important thing about backpacking?.. 02-07-10
looking good. haha. well, that and all the other specs gear should have that this one is a little lacking in. looks great on, and wish they had the green in this one that they have in the girls. laminated sleeve pocket is great and you can stash your phone in it or whatever. not very warm, and the wind can get into it...i highly highly suggest the apache. i have 2 and they are SUPER warm and amazing! but these do look a little cooler. other issue is they aren't super long on the torso if you're really tall and get a slimmer fit. i'm 6'2 and 170 and got the small...little short in the torso, but does reach the top of the belt. looks great tho.
If you ask my uncle, its better to look good than to be good. This fleece fits that bill. The M fits just like you have come to expect from all other Arcteryx outerwear - perfect for me at 5'11" 165lbs. No pilling (sp?) yet but I dont doubt that it will come after a few more months of wear. No wind protection, and not too warm, but just awesome for covering up your smelly shirt to head over to Mom's house for dinner.
I spend tleast 30 days in the Canadian backcountry each winter and wear just a t-shirt under my covert cardigan as my insulator layer under a gortex shell. I love it so much I have bought 3 for my self and 2 as presents - everyone agrees on how warm it is. It is the nicest fitting fleece type jacket I have ever worn. It may not catch your eye as stylish, but gets an A+ for function.
