Why Choose the Covert Cardigan?
The Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan is a very popular piece that combines the look of wool with the performance of a fleece. It is made with Alpenex II fleece; this beast keeps me comfortable on the mountain all day. This was designed for hiking and casual use, but I mostly use it as a mid-layer for snowboarding.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan
This midlayer from
Arc'teryx is on every snowboarding trip I take, and it has also been on a few hikes.
- Hiking: I love taking it on hikes. Great protection, layers well, and the zip is great for regulating temps.
- Snowboarding: I use this as a midlayer 8 out of 10 times. It's great when the temps heat up as well, and I lose the shell. The Full zip is great for dumping or retaining heat. It's a slim fit, but I don't feel restricted at all.
