Description

We designed this midlayer for hiking—but there’s a good chance you’ll grab it for daily, durable warmth. Built from updated 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. The hand pockets have been offset so they sit flatter against the body for a streamlined fit.

Arc'teryx Layering Guide

Layers are the instruments of keeping you dry, warm and using your energy efficiently. Put into the right systems, a good sequence of layers provides you with weather protection, moves moisture away from your skin, conserves or dissipates heat, and does this in the least amount of time.
