Smooth, clean and polished look
10 years ago
Once again, Arc'teryx has come out with an excellent piece. This shirt is great for everyday wear in cool conditions. The material is thin and warm but I definitely wouldn't think of it as a "fleece" like the RHO AR. The RHOs are smooth and not as fluffy as a traditional fleece would be. This version is a next to skin kind of fit so size up if you want to avoid that "Look how strong I am underneath" look. The length is perfect for wearing it tucked or untucked well past the belt line...just keep in mind the next to skin fit might make a belt look kinda funny. Overall, you will love this shirt...but remember, with Arc'teryx, you always get what you pay for.

Fantastic base layer that moves with your body.
4 years ago
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.

My 2nd Fav Arcteryx after Hoody Version
4 years ago
The Rho LT zip neck series is my favorite Arcteryx product line. For the zip neck hoody version I have bought buy every color it have ever come out in each year. Sadly it looks like you are not offering the hoody version anymore - PLEASE PLEASE bring back the HOODY Rho LT zip neck. While I do have a few of the non-hooded zip neck version my preference is for the hooded version. I haven't bought recent zip neck versions because I really do prefer the hood and I keep hoping they will come back but now there isn't even a placeholder on your website for them. Without the hoody version Arcteryx loyalty is waning.

A fantastic warm base layer
7 years ago
I own two of these! A fantastic base layer for cold environments. When hiking fast with a pack I have worn just this in temperatures as low as minus eight degrees Celsius with no problems (Please note I run warm). It can also be worn as a fleece with a thermal top underneath giving it great versatility no matter the environment and looks great around town. A great base layer/fleece for doing anything from winter walking to crossing a glacier.

Superior comfort
4 years ago
I purchased an Rho LT Zip Neck about a month ago. As autumn settles in and the temps drop, I find myself disappointed when it's a warmer day, because I can't wear my new favorite base layer. The interior is so soft, it's luxurious. I've been a merino wearer for years and years, and this rivals the softest. The zipper seems to have no problem staying put wherever I set it. I have a significant beard which often gets in the way of 1/4 zip styles, but there's no problem setting the zip to the top. I've worn this shirt for 3 days straight, with only minor stink, which really surprised me, usually synthetics soak up smells. Highly recommended. I'm 6'0" and about 210, and the fit is excellent.

Stoked with my Purchase
2 years ago
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.

When Small Is No Longer Small
1 year ago
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!

Bring Back the Merino Wool version

I have the lastest version and its ok but please bring back the merino wool version. I have two pairs of the older version and I absolutely love them for the warmth, comfort, functionality, and style. The new version while nice isn't the same.

Well designed, with a couple flaws
1 year ago
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.
