Bought in black. Still in excellent condition. My body has changed over the last decade and it still fits comfortably. Worn for outdoor winter activities bl or on chilly summer evenings and wet BC days. Wear it as everyday wear. Looks smart as is or under clothes. I often wear multiple days in a row and it doesn't ever smell. I wash it like all my other clothes and put in the dryer. Time to get a second one so I can wear everyday if I want. Might even get colour adventurous. Worth the investment.

I love my RHO LT Zip Neck and consider it an essential base in my layering system. Warm, soft and stretchy material is very comfy, and wicks away moisture. Cut to move with your body, you won't even notice you have it on. I'm 6'1 and a bit, around 200 lbs and the Large is a perfect fit.

I just received this base layer in the mail, and although I haven't gotten a chance to test it in the outdoors yet, it is SO SOFT and COZY! I now need to buy the rho bottoms to complete my winter camping base layers.

This is my go to first layer, either below an Atom LT or Atom AR. I wear it when I am out and about doing my wildlife / bird photography, starting in the autumn through to the following spring. It is so comfortable to wear, keeping me nice and warm and dry all day.

Having recently bought around 4 baselayers for all round use, in comparison with one excels. Merino blends are good, but even though fully synthetic the quality of this one elevates it above most. The usual Arc'teryx construction adds to its durability and spot on feeling. Whilst 'fitted' this is a little looser that some other athletic fits, but it's close enough and form fitting whilst allowing for full movement and extension. Highly recommended

This base layer is very warm for its weight and i would definitely recommend it. I work as ski patrol which means wether i like it or not i have to stay outside when it's freezing cold and this base layer has helped me stay warm a ton. It's super comfy and stretchy plus the wool inner lining keeps me warm almost all the time. The price point is fairly high but if you spend the majority of your days outdoors like me, your future self will definitely thank you with this purchase. Beware the fit of it is a little bigger than most other base layers so if you want it skin tight size down. Overall i'm happy with my purchase and glad i didn't cheap out because you get what you pay for with this one.

I use this for active activities down to 0c, then add the Heavyweight Rho zip neck over top for below 0c until I get warmed up with strenuous activity

I've been looking for a top like this for so long - nice light base layer or summer layer vs a heavier fleece. Love the shorter slightly boxy fit vs body hugging - nothing else like this out there for women these days. I'm 5'5", 128 and a small fits perfectly

This material is amazing. 24-7 for 10 days. And even then I really didn't want to take it off. The pocket smart phone thing is actually humorous. Great for ear pods lip balm but iPhone 12. Even if it fit I wouldn't want that much weight in that pocket. Regardless the pocket is a nice touch and I'm happy with. This with heavier weight brother is my go to dress for almost near everything. From a Grade IV to a hot date. I'm good.

Best fitting and wicking baselayer ive ever used! Thicker than previous RHO which makes it great for stand alone! The only thing id change would be the laminated pocket. Wish it were sewn. Forcefield color is much better in person. Glad everyone skipped over it so i could have a few items in this color!

I couldn't wait to write a review for this. The RHO is a superb pullover in both cool conditions as a stand alone and as a base layer under a down jacket. Bike riding has been my form of exercise during the pandemic. I ride in cold, windy conditions often in New York City so the RHO has been tested. I was debating whether to try this version or the updated cold weather version but went with this because of the chest pocket. I don't own my own bike, I use Citibike in NYC and need my phone to access the bikes. If it is a cool day but not cold and I want to wear just this without a jacket, I need a place to stash my phone. And this does the job. I have an iPhone 11 with a case. I honestly can't fathom what the other version of this can do that this one can't in cold weather. I was blown away at how warm it kept my upper body in cold, windy conditions while under a down jacket. I was also amazed how quickly it dries off. I definitely sweat when I ride and my t-shirts are usually clung to me. When I take these off I expect them to be soaked as well. But they are not. I wore this during a ride on cool/nearly cold day under a solid fall jacket I have and what a difference. Partway through the ride I really wanted to test it as a solo piece so I pulled over and took off the jacket and wore just this for about 30 mins in mid to low 40's. It was pretty darn solid. I would not wear this alone in any temperatures below mid to low 40's but at these temps and above, you can get away with it depending on how hot or cold you run. I am glad I was able to try these on in a store because I had read many reviews about sizing. These definitely run small. I am 5'7 about 150lbs with a 33 waist. I am pretty trim. I put a Medium on and had to wedge it on to me. The Large is great. It's trim enough with just enough room that you aren't suffocating. You can't put a long-sleeve shirt underneath though. That's my one worry is that if I accidentally place them in the dryer then it may shrink them down significantly. If you are between sizes, absolutely go up. I honestly think that if I had bought an XL and dried it, it would probably fit me well, that's how smallish these run. The sleeve length is good, it comes down to right around my wrists, maybe a tad below. The collar is excellent. I zip it all the way up with no issue and it is quite effective at keeping my neck warm. I liked this so much that I checked the website of the local shop I purchased this at to see if they had another in stock because everything was sold out online. They did and I bought another because I know I am going to be using both for several years.

I've had my RHO LT for close to 10 years now and it is still great. It's my go to choice for any hard wearing activities because it will outlast merino 10 to 1. Basically fall and spring climbing this is my go to top. Surprisingly little stink for synthetic too. The stretch is great and it doesn't stretch out, even after 10 years. The pocket is kinda pointless but adds a bit of style.

Bought one last winter and loved it. I tend to heat up pretty fast and the Rho LT keeps me dry and warm. Just ordered 2 more now that they are back in stock. Note that the garment fits pretty tight. I usually wear medium in Arcteryx tops but the large is perfect. So consider going up a size.

Love this shirt, the material is nice and soft and does not pill. As for the fit, I am 5'-1" at 125lbs and I got the medium which is slim on me. If you want a loose fit consider sizing up.

This is my favourite base layer. I have used it in every activity this winter: alpine touring, running, cycle commuting, hiking. It keeps me so warm and fits me so well. I have a small upper body and the extra small fits perfectly. An amazing base layer!

This is my go-to shirt when I run outside. I have worn just this and a t-shirt down to 0C outside and it was comfortable. Only qualm is that it runs a little small. I bough a medium and I am 5'10 and 180lbs. Wish I would have bought a large.
