Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rho Heavyweight Zip Neck

I received this base layer last week and have already worn it twice to the hill. I run super cold and always complain about being chilly. Well, say no more to chill !!! This is my new favourite base layer I've ever owned! I bought it in the colour black and size small. For reference, I am 5,4 and 136lbs - fits perfectly! I've been wearing it with my Atom, and never been warmer in my life! If you're on the fence, just treat yourself! You won't regret it!

Bought myself the Rho Heavyweight zip neck cause I'm always cold when I'm skiing on the resort! This base layer delivers, super warm and very soft on the inside with the Polartec

This is the perfect thermal layer. It is fitted, but not tight. I am 5'6", 150lbs, wear a medium in most shirts, 34DD, and a medium fit perfectly. Very soft, not scratchy

This is absolutely amazing warm base that I didn't want to like but I love it to the point I am ordering another one in different color. I bought warm stone color and will be getting the green one. It's warm, cozy and hugs you as a nice blanket. Can't get enough of it! I see myself wearing it all winter long!! Maybe I should get matching leggings

The warmest base layer that I own. I love it so much that I bought two - one in my normal size to wear as a true base layer for skiing and one size up to wear as a 1/4 zip fleece. The Polartec Pro makes it super soft yet breathable. The inside seams are stitched well and are not coarse or scratchy against the skin. I've washed my Rho Heavyweight zip neck 4 or 5 times at this point and there is no piling. The synth color is great!

Fits to size and nice and long. Like the flare at the bottom. Cozy too.

Warmest base layer out there and the comfiest. I am a full time ski instructor that is on the hill day after day no matter how cold it gets - 25 and bellow for a good part of the season. I have tried others but nothing comes close to the warmth of this base layer.

This top fits true to size - a Large on me (size 12) fits like on model. The fabric is thick and rich and stretchy and very warm without being itchy.

Chaud et confortable. Pour une activit hivernale de faible intensit ou par grand froid, c'est la couche de base idale.

I have quite a few base layer tops, and I keep going back to this model. I wear this snowboarding and touring and keeps me very warm. The fit is very comfortable as well. I have worn this top several times, and its quality has held up.

I first purchased the Hallam sweater as I wanted a thicker wool base layer. However, I didn't like the fit (it was a bit baggy in the body) so I decided to get this instead. It would be 5 stars if not for the arm pocket. IMO that's unnecessary in a base layer (even a thicker one) and just adds bulk for no reason. I would say it fits TTS, as I'm a solid M in all Arcteryx items and I purchased an M in this. It is a trim fit, but that's what I wanted.

I bought the lightweight and the heavyweight in the same size. The lighter one is amazing. The heavy one rides up. It's too thick to tuck in comfortably to prevent this. It is puts me in a terrible mood. It's as though it's too small, as though the extra warm layer was built towards the body instead of the outside. I feel crowded, even though it's not small. It gets some stars because it is actually warm and is made of lovely material. . And if it's layered just right, the ride-up isn't an issue. And it's a fantastic layer of insulation. Super warm.

I don't recommend this sweater, it chafes very easily, the back started chafing after the first day I bought it.

I bought this item to go skiing, after 1 wear it's already shaffing on the back. Very disappointed. Didn't experience any falls. For its price, didn't expect this type of bad quality.
