Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rho LT Hoody

I'm normally a Medium but a small fits me great. This is my go to base layer, it's decently warm and nice to have the hood, although the fit of the hood is a little loose around my head.

I wore this with a thin windproof gillet for a lightweight fast hike up a few hills in the Lake District UK in a strong cold wind. Around -1 degree C. It was absolutely perfect. No need for a jacket. My neck was well protected and I could use the hood and face mask to regulate my temperature. And it feels great against the skin, wicking really well. An absolutely great product.

Feels like silk and just good i have no complaints with this item and pretty warm

Super high quality gear combined with extreme comfort

Great hoody for cold condotions. Especially in the neck/throat area it's perfect for windy days.

I have been using this product for over a year now. I was concerned that it would be too warm (I run hot) for daily use- I could not have been more wrong. I use this piece for resort skiing, mountaineering and backcountry skiing. It is very comfortable, fits great, and the hood fits under a helmet. Everything you want out of a winter base layer. I will stockpile a few of these!

I've used this as a base layer on chilly runs 35* F and on climbing trips. It stretches enough to go over a helmet and is quite warm. I like the material and it feels durable enough I've only Had it for this season. I do feel like the face mask portion is a bit in the way sometimes, but when I need to cover my face it's very nice. Kind of a pro and a con depending on the conditions. Overall, I like the jacket a lot. Time will tell about durability, but I find myself grabbing this out of my closet more often than a lot of old standbys.

I ski guide 100 days a winter and this is the base layer I do it with, the hood is full coverage, goes easily over a ball cap and under a toque or helmet. I have never used the chest pocket and would probably get rid of it, I would love to seee this exact same pattern in light weight fabrics. Ideal ski touring top!

Perfect in Patagonia! So easy to protect neck and ears from both sun and wind.

Excellent product. The shirt is very nice and fits well, Great quality too.

Extremely comfortable and warm. Pleasantly surprised by the neck warmer hood. Was concerned that it might be too restrictive around the neck when used as a neck warmer but does the job perfectly without feeling uncomfortable or restrictive. The multiple options for the hood are great and very intuitive.

ottimo prodotto , finiture di livello paragonabile a quelle di Montura e Ortovox. Veramente soddisfatto ############## Excellent product, with finishes comparable to those of Montura and Ortovox. Truly satisfied!

Fits true to size. The quality of the product feels nice on your skin and keeps you warm! I used it as my base layer for a 9km round trip hike in the snow at -6C and never felt cold one bit. My only critique would be is, when you just want to use the balaclava option, it doesn't sit tight against your face enough. It kept dropping down just under my nose. Even putting on the hood and balaclava together, it would still droop down. Not a deal breaker by any means. I would highly recommend if you're looking for a good base layer!

Excellent quality and fit. I can wear it in the streets for some gorpcore fashion as well as when camping and sleeping in subzero temperatures.

This is such a well designed layer and if you like the cormac range, this is an excellent upgrade for winter, or cold alpine. The material is soft and does not hold odour like some synthetics. The face covering is very comfortable and the added material on the inside manages condensation super well. Obviously this is for cold environments (no chest vent), and is probably best paired with a light wind-shell for most efforts, and a mid-weight like the proton for slower days. I use it for mountaineering, and will take it on ski tours and quicker-paced alpine outings outwith summer months. I'm 6'1" and 85kg, the Med is perfect, good sleeve length and easily tucks in to avoid pulling out a harness. Since this is not really a running top for me, if it had two check pockets it would be sublime.

Great for every activity, travel. Super comfortable, light yet warm, breaths well. Got twounmatched Arcteryx's constant great quality.

Love the texture and fit Great neck protection Great for fall weather

Super soft inside material feels great next to skin and additional detail of a smoother fabric where it touches you face when wearing the hood. These details and added features makes this an incredible product. You won't be disappointed once you put it on.

I have yet to use the rho hoody, but have a previous version of the heavyweight layer and really like it. The material on this one is much softer and really nice. Little details like the (merino wool?) on the inside of the balaclava part are really nice as it should prevent that area from getting cold when it gets wet. The fit is perfect and the color is killer. Looking forward to having this one as a staple in my alpine ski, nordic ski, fat bike, ice skate repertoire.

I got the rho lt hoody with the intention to use it for fall/winter running. First run with it I was very impressed as it kept me warm with a shirt underneath it when the weather felt like +2. It's meant to be a base layer, which is why it's slim fit, but still looks good if you like wearing a slim outside layer. It hugs my arms a bit, but the body is comfortable. The balaclava is a great feature and is nice a snug, which would work best for those who are getting it to use in the mountains. 5'7 165lbs and got a medium. I'd say size up if you want more of a regular fit, but get your regular size for a good slim base layer fit!

Excellent product & very warm, it will be on the ski slopes in a couple of months along with the multitude of my other ARCTERYX gear

Perfect base for snowboarding. Breathable and lightweight.

Amazing warm base layer! I use for running and it is perfect! Get one for you too!!

I bought my LT Hoody as part of my clothing during my stay in Baku which can experience very strong and chilly winds. I love that I can enjoy a walk along my favorite Boulevard without needing to overdress. And still manage to look casually smart and stay nice and warm in spite of the strong piercing winds. The presence of the hood means that I do not need to risk loosing my cap in the wind while also protecting my neck all the time. Excellent product.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago and love it! The material is soft and feels great ! Fits well.
