Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Rho LT Zip Neck

Very nice & soft. Fit is rather large. Warm. I wear this to work in cold climate.

Very lightweight but durable. Hasnt pillowed yet after several uses and washing. It does have snug fit but I am wearing as a baselayer so thats fine. I am 5'9'', ordered a Medium and it wasnt short in the arms or down at the waste.

Great piece for all activities. Fits as base layer or as a middle layer. However I'm quite disappointed in the quality of the stitching around the bottom edge. It broke in 3 places on second use. I then had it fixed at a tailor and it broke once again in 2 new places. Generally Arc'teryx products are well made, but this is quite disappointing. Especially considering the premium price. Seems like they forgot to test the type of stitching here. It should at least be able to stretch just a bit when it's an item for physical activity.

I bought the Rho LT in M size and I found it in line with my expectations aside that probably a S size fit me at its best. I'm 184cm and 78kgs, normally dressing a L (50EU) but this M is too large for me.

I usually love everything arcteryx makes this one item doesn't live up to the standard of all the other items I've gotten from them. It's not bad but it's not what I expected. Some of the stitching is a bit loose and wonky.

I wanted to love this Baselayer. Nice and soft, warm too. However, why is it so long? It comes down past my butt and stretches out over it. If I could hem it by 4 inches it would be perfect, but at this price I just don't want to do that.

The Tamarillo colour is not orange - like the web image - but RED!!

I wanted to love this, I really did. Fabric feels excellent, fit is flattering, zip neck is the right length - however, there are two main issues with the shirt. 1) There is excessive pilling from a modest amount of wear. I think I had the Phase AR base layer before this and that lasted much longer without any pilling. 2) I realize synthetics hold on to smell more, but this shirt seems like it did a particularly poor job. In hindsight, I probably should have bought the rho hybrid with strategic wool panels as this would have taken care of the smell issue.

I love the fabric, love the tall snuggly collar, hate the fit, hate the pocket. The fit is way too loose and boxy in the middle for base layer. The kangaroo pocket is bulky and has no practical use.

The fabric is nice and does keep me warm, but I really dislike the extra pocket on the lower part of the shirt, it rubs my hip, I wish I could cut it off, the key pocket was much more handy on the arm. The fit is very boxy and unflattering for a woman. Maybe some do not care about the fit, but I much preferred the 2021 model, which was a much nicer feminine fit.

I have previously purchased 2x Rho LT Zip Neck (2020 / 21 era design in Small) and figured i'd add one more to the collection - the Black Sapphire colour is truly gorgeous. Unfortunately this design appears to have come at the cost of 'consistent sizing'. Although the enclosed sized chart still proclaims the same dimensions for the Small as in 2020 / 21(and i too have remained the same dimensions) - this new Rho LT in Small is easily a whole size bigger at least. Sadly it isn't even remotely figure hugging / fitted - as a good base layer should be - it's more like a baggy fleece. So disappointing - and now makes me rather distrustful of the size chart that accompanies other products i might have had my on!

Please bring back the previous design of the Rho LT Zip Neck. Everything about it (collar, sleeve logo, colors, fit) was better -- more functional and attractive. I purchased five of the previous style in different colors and looked forward to purchasing more for years to come.

I must own over 50 pieces of Arc'teryx clothing and am devoted to the brand because of their fabrics and fit. I purchased several sets of this item for skiing and have have been frustrated by the quarter zipper. It does not remain closed. With movement, the zipper begins to unzip exposing your neck. Even with a neck gaiter and a mid-layer, the zipper unzips after a few minutes to the point where it provides a cold spot under your neck. I am really surprised that Arc'teryx has not figured out the zippers on these base layers.
