Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rho Gloves

These are simply the best liner gloves I have found and the ones I always want to have in my pack - winter and summer. In the winter I usually wear them from the get-to, inside mittens. They slide in and out of mittens/other gloves more easily than most liner gloves because they are thin (but still warm) and fit the hand, well, like a glove. I have an older red pair and the touch screen patches on the index fingers are starting to pull away from the fabric. Perhaps if I hand-washed them instead of machine washing, that wouldn't happen. I haven't worn my new blue ones yet - am just hoping I like them as well as the red ones. I bought two pairs because I love these gloves!

fin et lger c'est un trs bon sous gant et peut servir de gant par temps frais.

Grandson specified these gloves as what he wanted. When he opened the box, he was very pleased to get them.

My first Arcteryk purchase. Like their stuff, just out of my budget on most things. Two great things about these gloves: 1. The hand of the fabric is luxurious 2. The fit of the pattern is superior to any liner i have ever owned. Generally, this is the only layer I need living in the mid-west. Fortunately, these globes match my puffy coat. Great product.

Had these gloves for quite a while now, use them primarily for running as a single layer but also as an additional liner for mittens. So far no problems with stitching at all, sensor pads have stayed put and work as well as can be expected. I don't have to take off my gloves to check my apple watch or adjust the settings. I had a pair of the old Phase SL gloves which I love, though they were less durable than these they were also a bit lighter and less warm. I would love if they offered those again, but these are also excellent and just a tiny bit warmer

I used it on its own while running especially when am still warming up & as a liner with other Arcteryx gloves plus as a liner for cheap ski gloves which were making my hands so cold and the RHO came to rescue, so I like the flexibility it gives.

I bought these last season, excited to use them again. I understand the frustration many others have with these gloves' durability, but given it's a liner glove it's obvious these are best just for wearing them on your commute and activities like running. The touch pad finger tip thing is actually something I would prefer it didn't have, as it's a gimmick all modern gloves have now. (I don't mind taking my glove off if i really need to use my phone!) If you look past this, this is my favorite pair of gloves to throw on and wear for commutes/runs. It being a liner means better dexterity than bulky gloves, and the fabric texture is fantastic and soft. Don't expect it to keep your fingers toasty on it's own if you are out for many hours, or in high winds, but they are a quick and comfortable solution.

finger sensors aren't great. I cut a slit in mine to access a finger. None of the sensors in any gloves work for more than a short while, in my opinion.

I find them practical as a lightweight 'base' layer glove to wear inside lightly insulated ski gloves. I use them mainly for cold weather cycling, hiking, and skating. The sensor pads don't work for me on the iPhone but that wasn't a purchase driver and sensor pads rarely work on other brand gloves IMO. I did find the price a little high for a base layer glove.

My husband had two pairs of these which he purchased a while ago and I didn't see what was the big deal. He got me a pair and they really are great for: - high output activities in colder weather. For example I use it when I go running in the cold and they feel great. - for everyday use they are good but not GREAT because the pads are hit and miss but actually still not bad compared to some other touch screen gloves. These are not super warm gloves but they don't pretend to be. But for it's weight it's surprisingly good. I use them from 8-9 degrees Celsius to maybe 0-2 degrees. Basically mild to cool. The one issue I have is durability and this is why I take off a star. The pads do start to come off and it's why my husband and I have two of these. I get nothing lasts forever but these last maybe 2 winter seasons (before peeling). These are unisex, so for sizing I went for small which works great. In ladies gloves I'm closer to medium or large (in other brands). So if you're a woman and have mediumish hands - get small.

I have large hands. This means that in addition to having trouble finding gloves that fit, I have a tendency, after about 18 months, to pop my fingers out of the end of some other leading wool glove liners. I just received my Rho's last week and they fit great and they feel great. Not sure why another customer said that these don't work well with touchscreens - mine have worked really well with my iPhone. I will say that I had a seam rip on them after just a couple of wears but customer service was super responsive and addressed my issue right away. I can't give these guys 5 stars because I did have that issue but I wouldn't hesitate to get a second pair.

I was looking for a lightweight glove that I could use by itself or as a liner glove to wear under my Alpha SV Mittens. This is it. The lightweight, all-around glove I was looking for! Has that next-to-skin comfort fit and feels like you really aren't wearing gloves at all. On the approach in an alpine environment, this synthetic glove provides enough warmth by itself and/or during brief, high-output activities. It's also great a wicking away moisture and works great as a liner glove under my Alpha SV mittens. I've had mine for two seasons now and have used them at Rainier, Elbrus, and Kilimanjaro. They've held up well after repeated use and washing.

These are versatile gloves but I can't use them alone below 0-5 degrees. Work well when it's raining too. I like these for running, and for using as liners when it's colder. Great as a spare pair of liners in the bag.

Got these mid winter just before the cold spell in Toronto. -36C wind chill. These were great for a liner with the Alpha AR glove and a pair of lobster mittens I have. During the warm up about 2C these are not good as stand alone. I would only use as stand alone at about 6 C and warmer with light wind as the wind goes right through them. Unfortunately they will not fit under the Alpha MX glove as that fit is to snug.

I got these gloves hoping to have a breathable, sweat-wicking glove to put under my lithic gloves (size XL) for skiing and hiking, or for on their own for higher intensity running. The fabric is soft, supple, and quite warm for the thickness. After a few minutes of running, the gloves are incredible at self-regulating a warm, but not too balmy temperature for runs within the high 20s to mid 40s. Underneath the lithic, the sized large fits greats. Helps add an extra layer of warmth and sweat management. The touchscreen material is quite good, but the cut of the piece on the thumb could be a little more precise. There is a slight learning curve for more subtle actions on a phone, such as texting. My biggest complaint is the size. I got a sized large assuming that my slight volume and space in my lithic gloves would translate well into a large. My middle and ring finger fit great, but my pinky is too small for the glove, and my index finger has more space in this glove than in the larger sized lithic. I am able to pull down the fabric to make the gloves fit better, but it certainly not a seamless, perfect fit.

Great fit, perfect as a liner, but the touch pads don't work at all.

These gloves are ok but the sensor pad doesnt really work for my phone. They are pretty thin but comfortable. I had better luck with other gloves overall

Great for running but the placement of the conducting finger tips for using your phone is so bad. When you use your phone you scroll with the side of your thumb, not on the flat, central part. So it makes it frustrating when you're trying to scroll on your phone and the gloves don't pick it up because of the angle of your thumb. This could be solved with some simple design tweaks.

I bought these gloves for delivering the mail. They are cozy and you can use them to touch your electronic devices screens. However, the grip is starting to ware off very early on. They fit a little bit large and I have bigger hands.

Good gloves for wearing under others or on own but the sensor pads do not work on a phone with a protective screen. Was the reason I bought them so very disappointed.
