Newly updated model has very poor fit and design comparing to prior models that had such a great feet. New model has very high waist line that has a thicker band that is very uncomfortable positioned so high above the waistline. The overall length in size M, is 2.5" longer comparing to prior model that creates multiple wrinkles and would result in hot spots in the ski boots. I am 6'1" and I only see this product fit properly for someone who is way taller that I am, to compensate for 2.5" in wrinkles. Very disappointed. Arcteryx stop changing sizes. I used your products for 20 year and this one is the biggest disappointment.

The RHO LT line is beautifully made and detailed. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable. I use it for low to medium exertion. Size down. I have to call-out Arc’teryx on the pocket: no modern smartphone will fit in the pocket: sized for 2005 flip phone, a Swiss Army knife, toothbrush…or a condom.
I purchased the Rho LT bottoms and was overall satisfied with them with some limitations. The range of movement in these base layers is amazing. I never feel restricted at all. I would say they are a little on the warm side but with a breathable shell with vents it’s never an issue. The base layer pocket is pretty small so I probably wouldnt ever use it unless I need to store a credit card. The base layer fit perfectly but it was a little bit too long and it bunched up a little bit on the bottom. Overall pretty satisfied but I wish they were shorter.
Well...still haven't figured out what to put in that very small pocket. Wish they would have used the time to put in a fly instead of this pocket. There is no fly so this means undoing pants to have a squirt. On the good side, these are so soft and supple you'd hardly know you have them on, but remember they're on when nature calls. 190cm and 36 waist, the large fits perfect. Good length so they're not riding up my shins. Would have been a 5-star if there was a fly.
So far these have been great. They are a really good length for me (i.e. a bit longer than some other bottoms), are a nice weight for cooler weather touring or standing around at belays on warmer ice climbing days, and so far they show no signs of wear and tear. They can also double up as a light pair of running/biking tights. The pocket seems to have limited use, but you fit car keys in it if you are out for a run/bike. No complaints.
I recently purchased the Arc'teryx Rho LT Pants as a base layer for skiing and backcountry touring. I was in the market for something very warm to wear beneath my non-insulated hardshell pants, but also breathable enough for ascending in the backcountry. These pants exceeded my expectations and have proven to be extremely comfortable. One of the things that I love most about these pants is their breathability. Even on the toughest ascents, they do a great job of regulating my temperature and keeping me comfortable. The material is also very stretchy, which allows for a full range of motion when skiing or climbing. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Arc'teryx Rho LT Pants. They have proven to be a reliable and comfortable base layer for all of my outdoor activities. If you're in the market for a new pair of base layer pants, I would highly recommend giving these a try.
My work is fully remote and that means, I don't have an office to go to with a regulated temperature. This has been my go-to base layer to be super comfortable whether I'm at home or outside running errands. I pair this with the Levon pants and it works great in 20*-50* F without making me sweat, too warm, or too cold. Great product!
Soft and comfortable; I love all Rho products. Only complaint is I believe I'm a large when I ordered XL. Size down or look at waste size recmondations. In 36x 34 ordered XL should of been large. Also side pocket good for keys but that's it, too small. Won't fit phone.
Always been a fan of the Rho LT products. Wear one or the other (shirt, hoody, bottom) almost every day in the cool/cold season. Running, MTB, under road tights, every day wear under jeans. Warm, but not too much so. Not bulky. Soft to the skin. Nuff said.
