Arc'teryx Women's Covert Cardigan
Product Details
We designed this midlayer for hiking—but there’s a good chance you’ll grab it for daily, durable warmth. Built from recycled fleece with a bit of stretch that resists pilling, rock snags, and pack rub, the Covert is the jacket that sticks around for years of trail missions and hut trips. Hardworking and flexible, this is a long-standing insulation favourite in any layering system.
What's been updated: This updated fabric has improved abrasion and pilling resistance for durability. The design has been adjusted to a regular fit (rather than fitted) for better mobility and ease of layering over base layers.
