Product Information
Full details
The Arc'teryx Covert Vest is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers looking for a versatile thermal layer that balances heat management with mobility. Crafted from high-quality polyester fleece, it excels at moisture regulation during active pursuits, though its sweater-like knit finish may be prone to snagging on sharp branches or dense, abrasive brush.

No, it is a fleece garment and is designed for thermal insulation and breathability, not wind protection.

What is the best way to store the vest?
Store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
Is the vest suitable for summer hiking?
It may be too warm for summer, but it is excellent for early morning starts or high-altitude hikes where temperatures are cooler.

The product features accessible front pockets on the exterior.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the exterior fabric
Use a fabric shaver gently on the affected areas to remove surface fuzz caused by friction.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and consider applying a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the vest follows a regular fit, select your standard size for optimal comfort. It is designed to work seamlessly with other Arc'teryx layering pieces. To maintain the fleece, wash in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fabric. Hang drying is recommended to preserve the shape and longevity of the material, avoiding direct sunlight for extended periods.
