Toasty, toasty, toasty. That’s how you’ll feel in this awesome Covert cardigan from Arc’teryx. It also looks as good as it feels and that’s not always the case with functional winter wear. Made with Alpenex Heathered™ 100% Polyester, the Covert can easily be mistaken for wool but is much lighter and easier to care for. Both weight and ease of care are factors when I’m making decisions about travel clothing.
The Covert works well as a warm sweater or as an excellent mid layer along with a hardshell for crisp spring or autumn days and evenings. It isn’t windproof but that to me is a bonus as I already have several pieces of windproof clothing that suit that need. I actually like the fact that this cardigan brethes extremely well and allows me to stay warm without overheating. The cuffs are reinforced and stretchy which is ideal and the reinforced zippered pocket on the sleeve is just perfect for keeping small papers and credit cards when I don’t want to carry a bulky wallet with me. The hand pockets are also extremely well reinforced with laminated zippers.
To me the Covert cardigan is the security blanket of my travel clothes and I feel all warm and fuzzy every single time that I put it on.
