Take your girlfriend to a nice dinner at Chez Quis in the Arci 1/2teryx Covert Full-Zip Sweater. After dinner, just take off your tie and the two of you can head into the backcountry for a little moonlight ski touring. Later on, when your wife catches you sneaking in the house, youi 1/2ll be thankful for the Coverti 1/2s breathability as she chases you around the house with a frying pan.

This is another well made Arc'teryx product. The fleece makes a great layer for warmth when used with a shell and is well designed. The fit seems a bit large for a medium (I'm 6' and 165lb and it fits a bit loosely), but that's typically true of Arc'teryx.
I guess I didn't give it 4 (or 5) stars because it is extremely simple for the amount of money it costs. I have several Arc'teryx products (backpacks and jackets) and have always found the high price has been worth the quality of product I get, but I found the trade-off to be lacking here. There seems to be nothing that makes this fleece standout from other fleeces in the higher-end outdoor clothing market, yet it is priced significantly higher. I've seen fleeces made from other companies such as Patagonia that would undoubtedly do the same job functionally, but look and fit much nicer - all for at or below the price of this fleece. I guess for this price, I expect a bit more.

Beware. Arc'teryx sold out to Adidas (some time ago) and the quality is slowly starting to revert to that of Adidas. All manufacturing is now outsourced to China and Vietnam. This product is made in China. I own many Ayc'teryx products (all with the made in Canada on the label) and have previously been happy with paying the premium price for the quality, and the quality and economic benefits that come from being made in the Americas. No longer will I pay that premium.
