0.00% Wind Proof

By Gear Ruckus Ranked #1346 - Men's Shirts September 16, 2008

I love Arc'teryx but the covert I owned surprised me when I felt like I was in a wind tunnel in typical Seattle weather. I actually rated this sweater down a bit - because I hold Arc'teryx to a higher standard. All those who reviewed this jacket and claim it to be warm were either wearing warm base layers under it, shells over it, or were in calm weather. Michad's review is accurate when he says "wind will cut straight through this sweater" I don't know why he felt it still deserved 5 stars - arc'teryx shouldn't have allowed such a major oversight to pass through their quality assurance dept. I still wear my covert... while drinking my fav brew, poker night, movie theater, etc... Generally, I'd recommend Arc'teryx but in this case I say take a pass - unless you just want to LOOK hardcore.
