The Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan in Black Heather II is a warm, versatile layer designed for crisp autumn evenings, cold winter days and cool summer nights at elevation. Made from Alpenex II™ fleece, a 100% recycled polyester fabric, it provides efficient thermal performance with a soft, comfortable feel. The heathered finish gives the look of wool with the technical benefits of fleece, making it a practical and refined option for everyday wear. Articulated patterning and gusseted underarms offer excellent freedom of movement, while laminated pockets provide secure storage and the signature Arc’teryx aesthetic.
