Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rho Gloves

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.

I tried typing this review on my iPhone 12 Pro while wearing the Rho gloves but it was impossible! I suspect it's because of the screen protector I have on the phone? I tested the gloves on an old iPod touch with no screen protector and confirmed the gloves worked... even when using the fingers without sensor pads (lol). Are sensor pads even needed? So far, Nitrile gloves seem to work on all touchscreens that I've tried. The size guide seems misleading. For example , I measured my hand length to be between 7.75" - 8" and found size small to fit bigger than expected (size small glove measurement shown) . Other than that, I'm still testing these gloves when used as a liner. So far, they're doing the job; keeping my hands warm and dry.

The Rho Glove's fit, feel, material - all awesome. However, the sensor pads do not work at all. I plan on keeping the gloves, but really wish I could use them on iPhone touchscreen - will try to figure out if there are any solutions on getting it to work. If the sensor pads worked, this review would receive a 5+ rating.

The gloves are fine - pretty much just gloves you'd buy from any old store. They fit slightly large due to the stretch of the fabric and the touchscreen feature does not work at all (at least with my iPhone 8). I've been wearing Arc'teryx stuff for a long time and I've tried a few accessories here and there. Honestly, apart from jackets/pants and climbing gear, I haven't been impressed by much. But I know they're working on it.

These gloves are just what you need for a liner with a good amount of warmth and wicking (for my running) but the stitching is very weak and came apart the first time I put them on. A pity because they are just what I needed.

I bought these thinking they'd be good as the brand has a good image as a leader in their industry...however they are super thin and sadly do nothing to keep out the cold especially when it's 0-6 degrees. The touch pads move a little on the tips of the finger and thumb so it's hard to actually use your phone while wearing them. Shocking value for the price. I've had other gloves in the past for a 3rd of the price which are 10 times better.

The gloves are disappointing. Fit is slightly off and even as a base layer the material isn't quite warm enough. The sensor pads don't work on my iPhone. The gloves are good enough, but I wouldn't recommend them.

Gloves just arrived from REI. Fit as expected, but like other reviewers have complained the sensor pads on my gloves do not work on any of my mobile devices. This is clearly a manufacturer defect which diminishes the value of the gloves. I purchased these to use the sensor function, so will be returning the gloves tomorrow. Too bad - Arcteryx charges a premium for gear. It should have better quality control.

It was destroyed less than 6 months after I bought those gloves. It was a surprise from Arc'teryx.

I have had a pair of these gloves for about 6 weeks now. The touch screen feature works maybe 10% of the time---max.

The quality of fabric is very thin, the phone pads fell off after first day. I use it a liner for ice climbing and this is not it. The previous versions were better quality and material.

I bought these on a whim a year ago at the SoHo shop. I have a condition where my hands get ridiculously cold and numb if I try using them anywhere outdoors. I needed a thin, but functional warm glove. Arc'teryx clothing is the only thing I splurge on so I thought might as well try these. They are awful. Terrible. Do nothing for warmth. They also dry out my hands. I don't think it's Arcteryx itself but these gloves in particular. Arcteryx has never failed me in warmth until now. Disappointing.

Absolutely garbage: a hole developed in one of the fingers in less than 2 months when just worn without any activity other than walking.

Purchased the black pair from the store because they fit good but torn easily and the phone finger things came off real quick for the price need that built better fosho

I bought these gloves to wear in the cooler fall weather while hiking. My fingers were warmer outside the gloves rather than inside the gloves..

Not made to last, or use, or be a liner. I regret buying these.

I got these gloves just before XMas. Not what I was expecting. These are too thin and really not doing much. It's been only a few months and with very minimal use, I've noticed that touch-screen pads started to separate. Very poor quality. I definitely won't recommend. Go for the next level up.

Although durability with the thin fabric has been solid over the last 5 years, the rubber finger tips start to break down after a year or two and most everything you touch leaves a black smudge. Looks great, like the long cuff, but can't actively use anymore.

Too light, just work under a shell or over 10C otherwise fingers gets freeze shortly. Not a worthy purchase, a pity.

The sensor pad doesn't work on my iphone at all! Don't buy this if you'd expect to wear it to control your iphone.

Nice looking but not warm. And for a glove that's designed to play a supporting role where looks don't count, that's not a good thing. In hind sight, I should have gone with wool or Smartwool. These do nothing. First bad Arc'teryx product I've had.

For some reason, they felt the need to add what felt like 10 different tags inside of the actual gloves. When I first put them on, they annoyingly bowed out because of the unnecessary amount of tags on the inside; so I figured I would cut them off. This caused me to accidentally cut a small hole in the glove. Yes, mostly my own fault, but this could have been easily prevented in the first place. Frustrating.
