Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rho LT Zip Neck

I have Riptide color which is similar to Macaw, and Alpine Slate which is more green than I expected, a pale green. I wish there were more light colors, like Cream and super-light-brown which looks close to Cream in being a subtle color. Also a camo color would be great, very subtle colors with cream + light-brown. Arcteryx, if you did a survey and or pre-orders, you would get more feedback on the topic. Similarly for jackets, I would like Ceres jacket but there is no good color it comes in. I wear my tops by themselves sometimes in temperatures up to 50 or 60 degrees, and for sun reflectance (so it doesn't get as hot as dark colors) and for looks, I prefer subtle light colors. I would buy more colors than I have now (light blue and light green) but there aren't any light colors left, just the bright neon ones, and black? gets super hot.

J'adore ce produit. C'est mon premier. Et c'est bien La le problme. C'est que Ca ne sera pas le dernier ! Super confortable, j'ai du mal ne pas le porter. Je suis vraiment fan des produits arc'teryx !

I bought it for my tours in the Pyrinees. It arrived to my house in a small city in north Spain from Germany in less than 1 day, incredible. When you wear it the first time you notice it is done with passion and paying attention every detail. I climbed a couloir in the North Face of Telera and it was enough with this Arcteryx Rho and a midlayer jacket, at around 0C. Also in a big wind storm was more than enough to keep me warm, together with an Arcteryx Arenite and Arctery Alpha SV. I tested it also running, with a little bit of rain and it was warm but I did not sweat much. Even if it was raining the whole time, in the end it ended quite dry. The Zip is very well done. If you open it, the difference in refrigeration is noticeable, good for warm weather.

Great base layer for skiing. I wear it under a Gamma MX and an Alpha SV. These are the only pieces needed for both warmth and comfort. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

This shirt is like putting on a slice of heaven. It's so comfortable you'll find yourself willingly wearily it for days on end!

Simply the best base layer (LTW aside) i've purchased. I regularly walk long distances, over a variety of terrains, spin, play football and engage in other sporting and leisure activities, all of which i have carried out wearing the RHO LT. The product is so versatile and whether the activity is high tempo or low, hot or cold, it's breath ability,comfort and function is simply outstanding. Arcteryx for life...,

The new design is longer than the same shirt a couple years ago. The fabric also feels a bit more stretchy than before. The patina teal colour is really nice and bright. Neck fits also really nicely.

Once again, Arc'teryx has come out with an excellent piece. This shirt is great for everyday wear in cool conditions. The material is thin and warm but I definitely wouldn't think of it as a "fleece" like the RHO AR. The RHOs are smooth and not as fluffy as a traditional fleece would be. This version is a next to skin kind of fit so size up if you want to avoid that "Look how strong I am underneath" look. The length is perfect for wearing it tucked or untucked well past the belt line...just keep in mind the next to skin fit might make a belt look kinda funny. Overall, you will love this shirt...but remember, with Arc'teryx, you always get what you pay for.

I would have one for every day of the week if I could. Comfortable, supple, soft, flattering, the Rho LT deserves all the positivity in its review. It is a super fantastic top to use as a base layer for skiing or even as an extra layer for cooler beach volleyball nights, which is when mine gets plenty of use. Strongly supportive of the fabrics, soft inside, durable and stretchy throughout, without losing its shape.

keep you amazing;y warm and dry (while managing perspiration) riding or running in temps between 0-10C

Love this shirt.. I just purchased my second one... nice length

I've had my Rho Lt for a couple of months now. I bought a size up. I can wear a wicking tee under it no problem. Nice fit, quality material and looks great to boot!

Love this in every way! Only complaint - how about making it in more colors?

fantastic material, super soft and warm enough. Your normal Arc size will not fit next to skin like some are looking for so consider sizing down if that is what yiu are looking for. I like wearing these like regular tops as well so i love the fit. One issue for me was a body length - it was way too long and would stick under the vest. Overlall great product, Kyanite type softness.

Great baselayer in a nice soft fabric. I use it for my runs when it's below and around freezing point, combinend with a light windshell. It works great to keep me warm. To fit is a nice trim fit, but I exepected a next to skin fit. I'm 1,83 meter and 70kg and wear a size small.

Very versatile can be work and a base layer or top depending on the weather. Fits great and has washes really well.

This has been my favorite base layer for years. It's still excellent - a perfect layering piece, comfortable on its own in cool temperatures or high activity or an ideal base with heavier pieces over it. The fabric is wonderful. BUT - the new cut (maybe last year?) is a huge disappointment. Base layers should be comfortably form fitting - this new shape, as is evident on the model, is like boxy pajamas. It's so much further from the skin that it no longer ideally serves the purpose of a base layer at all. It is much less flattering, but also much less useful. Going down a size doesn't work, because then the sleeves are too short and shoulders too narrow. This is very disappointing - but also in keeping with the unfortunate direction Arcteryx seems to be going. Many other layering pieces, such as the Kyanite, have also gotten bigger, more shapeless, and less technically useful. Why??? I still love the Rho LT Zip and wear one almost daily in the winter, but if I'd known they'd changed in this way, I'd have searched for prior years' versions rather than buying new ones.

Ive just recieved this top and i am dissapointed that is doesnt fit me as i would like,the quality and workmanship is great,but the fit for me lets it down.I like base layers to fit snug they do the job better wicking sweat from the skin.This top fits my shoulders and forearms,but baggy around the chest and waist,it fits more regular than trim in my case,im 5ft.7 140lbs chest 38 waist 31.5,broad shoulders.An xs would have been perfect,if arcteryx bring in size xs in this i will happily order one.

This base is soft and warm, but it is very long on me - a few inches shorter in the XS size would be much better for petite people (who I'm guessing would be the main purchasers of XS). I like it, but not as much as the Satoro AR Zip which you used to do for women - that one is a merino base, so much thinner while still being very warm. I can wear the Satoro under my trim-fitting Kyanite and Delta fleeces, whereas the Rho is too thick to wear under anything other than a jacket or gilet. Please bring back the Satoro AR Zip for women, and have this alongside the Rho as a thinner merino option!

I have the lastest version and its ok but please bring back the merino wool version. I have two pairs of the older version and I absolutely love them for the warmth, comfort, functionality, and style. The new version while nice isn't the same.

I bought this top and absolutely love it. I was massively disappointed, however, that after one wash in the washer, the Arc'teryx logo erased and no longer visible. I just hate that. I have other Arc'teryx gear and when washed, this never happens. I like the visible logo a lot, and this is a massive let down.

Lovely base layer and that is exactly what it is . Tight to the skin very snug fit . I am 5,10 and 190 pounds and a large is perfect . Very snug and close you can see every detail underneath it , great base layer , very comfortable next to the skin and warm . Excellent walking top

Il faut prendre une grandeur plus grande que le tableau des grandeurs suggre.
