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

The best base layer ever. I love how warm it is and I love the integrated hood.

This has replaced all my baselayers for snowboarding. I love this piece. The balaclava hoody is my favourite feature. If the weather changes on the mountain love having the ability to protect my head, neck and face from the elements. I love having the flexibility to put my hoody on under my helmet and cover my face when boarding or going up the lift. The brushed fleece feels nice on skin and keeps me warm. Also, I love having the pocket on the front. I have put my RFID card and my credit card in there. This fit hugs my body and traps the warmth in. The combination of warmth, versatility and look makes my snowboarding days way more enjoyable.

I'm an Arc'teryx fan and own more clothes than I should or care to admit. This item is likely my favorite piece for cool weather hiking. It keeps me warm while hiking and does a wonderful job wicking moisture. I have used the hood when it got colder and it was fantastic. I wear it next to my skin and it feels soft and buttery. It's fitted so it's against your skin without being compressive.

I bought this as a base layer for Nordic Skate and Classic skiing- it has not disappointed. It's the perfect base layer for long sessions out at temperatures as low as -19C. I've found that it works well as part of a layering system, or for use with just a gillet. The hood is a fantastic addition, as it allows for a solid, warm balaclava and can be lowered down for use as a cooler snood.

One of the most comfortable and good-looking hoodies I've ever had! It functions super well as a baselayer for skitouring, but is almost too nice to wear as sports apparel. It fits perfectly and just looks very nice.

I got the Rho LT hoody and matching Rho LT bottoms set as my new winter base layer set. The material is very comfortable and provides comfortable warmth. The pocket detail is nice, but the hood is my favorite part! It works greats as a buff.

I just got this a few days ago and I'm still evaluating it, but so far it seems good. The material is comfortable and I can wear it for a couple of days without it getting too stinky. The hood is not too tight. The face mask covers right up over my nose so that just my eyes are exposed - ninja style. I generally use it under a Proton LT or a Gamma LT jacket and this works very well. The sleeves feel a little short when wearing it alone. This is just a little bit annoying, but under a layer it fits well and the sleeve ends are well covered and protected from soaking up moisture. This seems like a good design decision to me. The hood and facemask act just like a neck gaiter (buff) when not in use. This is great except they cannot be removed when wet. It's early days yet, but so far I'm happy - seems like another good design from Arcteryx. I'm not sure how quickly it dries as I have not done anything super strenuous while wearing it yet. This morning I wore it under a Gamma LT in very heavy rain with 40kph wind and about 8C and I stayed perfectly dry and comfortable, but this is more thanks to the Gamma LT.

I've got a few of these now and they are my hoodies of preference

I bought the Rho LT Hoody in Orange last season. It's so comfortable, that I use it all the time. I ended up grabbing the Black and Dark Blue and will probably grab another one. The fit is super comfortable and the way the hoody falls makes it almost double over as a gaiter. Get the matching legs for the full ninja suit.

Great baselayer for skiing, the built in neck gaiter is super handy. Good amount of warmth and comfort. Only complaint is the chest pocket is too small for a phone.

I bought this hoodie about 6 weeks ago now and its like my second skin! The material feels great its durable and fits snug around all the nooks and crannies of ones dad bod ive had many compliments on it, they also think the hoodie is fantastic and often ask where i got it from! Its great as a light weight base layer for them long walks in the mountains when you want to get away from the wife. The hood and face cover is amazing so i can walk in peace and not have to stop and talk to people who recognise me.

This synthetic long sleeve hoodie is great for hiking, climbing, cycling and any other outdoor use. It's a great layering piece or to use as a single base layer. The synthetic material wicks moisture well. The hoodie and neck gator design provide more than adequate wind and sun protection as well as warmth when needed.

Molto bella, bellissimo colore ben fatta. Si vede che siete anche una sartoria. La prover questo inverno, io vivo nell'emisfero nord.

Super, high quality piece from Arcteryx. Got two of them on my collection, different years, same great quality.

I bought this to wear as a base layer for skiing and couldn't be happier. It is very comfortable and the hood is extremely versatile allowing me to no longer need a separate balaclava or neck gaiter. Planning to get another in a different color. 6'1" 170lbs

I have used this for 2 weeks in Whistler and I wish I would have bought it years ago. No longer do I carry a balaclava for days when my neck, head or face are too cold. The attached hood is so convenient; if you are cold pull up the hood; if you are warm pull it down. I wear a light face/neck warmer underneath the hood and takes place of the need for a balaclava.

This has become my everyday work jacket for the office and a must for any layering needed. It's extremely comfortable and fits great. I've been complimented on it many times now. I do wish the face mask fit a bit more snug when the hood it up, but it fits perfect without using the hood. I'll be ordering a second one soon.

I wore this on a 3 day backcountry mission and really enjoyed it. It was soft and comfortable, and odor resistant. My favorite feature is this the face cover/neck gator connected to the hood. It gives you many options without changing. Sometimes a gator is great for decent but then too hot for ascent. This is a very versatile piece and quality material. I had noticeably less wardrobe changes this trip which made transitions a bit faster. A little thicker than the average "Sun Hoody" which is appropriate for backcountry use.

It's been a great supplement to my Atom. I work overnight on a shipping dock so I'm constantly moving around and going from hot to cold when a lot of dock doors are open and it's 20F outside. I'd usually spend a lot of time shedding/adding layers to stay comfortable during the night but I can keep the Rho+Atom combo throughout the night and feel fine for the most part. I haven't worn it on a hike yet but I hope to do so soon and I have no doubt it will perform just as well as it does at work.

I've got the LT hoody since 2020, amazing piece in terms of quality and durability. N.1 in terms of versatility, covers wide range of temperatures. Silk on your skin. The hood is perfect for running low temp by providing the right comfort. Super 5 stars. After almost 3 years, intense use, not even 1 small issue. Go for it!

I love these so I've bought several! They are warm and good as both base and mid-layers.

Best winter base layer, keeps you warm to the tip of your nose!

I really like the neck gator, easily covers face or under chin when warmer weather. The hood is very comfortable under my ski helmet. Shirt is very warm but breathable.
