Arc'teryx  Rho Zip-Neck Base Layer Top - Women's

This baselayer has been my go-to for a wide range of activities this winter and spring, from multipitch climbing in Yosemite to cycling and skiing. It's light enough for high-output activities yet keeps you warm when layered with a shell. I wore it just under a shell during a snowy trip to Tahoe in the low 20s and stayed toasty warm. The arm pocket is a nice touch; I've used it to store chapstick, ID, and credit cards. It's become one of my favorite pieces, even for everyday wear.

This Arc'teryx Women's Rho Zip-Neck Base Layer Top provided me with a great wearing experience. The fabric is soft and has excellent insulation, making it ideal for outdoor activities in cold weather. The slim fit is very flattering without being bulky, and the zipper design allows for easy temperature adjustment. I especially like its breathable yet warm features, making it perfect as a base layer. One thing to note is that the sizing runs small, so I recommend sizing up. Overall, highly recommended!

Perfect for winter biking, ice skating, alpine skiing (with a shell or puffy on top). Often between S or M but M was perfect; not too long in torso (I'm 5'4; 128 broad shoulders). Can fit a thin layer under or just enjoy the plush interior of this top. Nice looking for apres bike/ski/skate.

I used this during our camping which was around 20F and it was perfect as a baselayer. Also used it to run my half marathon and I wasn’t cold since it started early morning, I also wasn’t really hot when the sun started to show. The best! Will buy the leggings to use as a baselayer for snowboarding season!

Soft fleece inside makes it extremely comfortable. Attractive shape and fun color. Great durability. Definitely my go-to top!

Wore this as a base layer for an evening out to the Civic Orchestra via CTA. Stayed wonderfully warm.

I returned this for various reasons. Collar should have been higher up for winter skiing, etc. The arms should have had wrist holes. The zipper should have been longer to vent on high output activities. For the high price of this item, they really could have made the zipper longer and the sleeves have wrist holes or whaterver you call them.

Comfortable, extra warmth with a thin layer of fleece inside, attractive shape and color.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Bought this in summer for hiking/ camping base layer. Have used on multiple trips- great for hiking/ camping in colder weather as base layer. I would say fabric is light fleece/ brushed material. Not super bulky- wish it could be more slim cut in stomach as there is lots of extra fabric that bunches- not a huge deal to me. Wore on camping/ hiking trip in Oregon which had cooler weather- so glad I brought this!! Was great in day time for hikes, and as base layer in evenings with light puffy jacket. Can not wait to wear it for ski season/ winter hikes/ cross country/ etc. this is a great all around base layer- prefer it so far to my merino Wool layers. I am 5’3”, 120-125 lb and got an XS and it’s perfect- small was too much material in torso for me. I am more of an hourglass shape. Typically I wear small but XS was perfect for me- I usually just wear tanktop/ sports bra underneath.

Wonderful winter base layer! I recently purchased the Rho for winter crag, hiking and snowboarding ventures. When looking to be successful outdoors in cold temps you need the right base, mid and shell. The Rho is very warm and buttery soft without feeling stifling which I love since I often overheat when being active and above all it just feels really good on my skin I'll likely get more.
