Arc'teryx Rho Lightweight Zip Top - Men's
Arc’teryx takes their own approach to technical outerwear and climbing gear. Instead of imitating existing designs, Arc’teryx innovates with their own solutions. Narrow seam taping, laminated pockets, welding instead of sewing, and revolutionary WaterTight zippers are hallmarks of this Canadian company. Their distinctive designs won’t be found on the backs of every rock-jock or snow-bro, only on those adventurers that know true quality when they see it.

Woolly mammoth   10-21-04

The top is what you expect from Arcteryx, quality and workmanship. However he use of wool cause a few problems for me. It was a little itchy and washing it was a pain. I had to do a seperate load with "wool" friendly detergent. The description on item should have mentioned that. I hate high maintenance and not being able to just throw the top in with my other camping gear just sucks.

This is one of the best fitting layers you can get. Even after wearing it for multiple days it retains it shape. The neck portion also stays snug. It's as good or better that Icebreaker and Ibex merino products. I wore this today under a Marmot wind shirt for a cold (upper 20Fs low 30Fs) mountain bike ride and it was just the right comb. Great product as usual from Arc'teryx. Of course this site always has the best choice of products and excellent service.

Great Base Layer   01-10-06
cadenceclique (2): rating
This is another great item from Arc’teryx. Not uncommon with Arc’teryx, this item is very expensive but the product is worth it if you are out using it all the time. This is a great shirt as a base layer thus it is very close fitting, so do not expect to get any layer underneath it. Although it has a very contoured fit it dose not feel restrictive at all. Some people complain that the Merino wool is still a little itchy for them, however I have not found this to be a problem. I have worn this shirt mile after mile running, snowshoeing and camping and it dose not get stinky like Capilene. Overall this is a great product and has replaced almost all of my other Capilene base layer shirts as I don't get around to wearing them now, only when this one is in the wash. A little expensive, but worth it.

Pretty nice if your ok with wool   12-09-06
frdchang (1): rating
Very nice base layer that does not stretch out over time. However the merino wool was itchy, so I could not wear it. However I think this itchiness is only perceived by a small few, so for those that need a wool layer, this is great. Compared to my synthetic base layer, this wool layer did not feel as clammy... I would love to wear this as my base layer if it were not my sensitivity to the itchiness.

No Wool on my Zipper...   02-01-08
Skinney911 (3): rating
I am gonna bail on all the synthetics from here on out. Good-bye Patagonia Capilene... Good-bye Under Armour Cold Gear... Hello Lamb Chops I am here to stay! Absolutely the best base layer I have ever owned. I don't care about the special washing requirements. The itch wasn't even noticeable and I have sensitive skin. I was amazed at how little body odored was trapped by this material. As with most things now-a-days, you pay for performance when it comes to winter gear. Arc'teryx never ceases to amaze me. I am buying the matching bottoms.

Awesome undershirt   12-03-07
Dog is my hiking partner (9): rating
The warmth to weight ratio for this shirt is great. It is super warm and weighs almost nothing. In spite of my gut and 6'2" height the shirt is very long. In a size large it covers my butt and stays tucked. I liked it so much that I bought another one!

I am very impressed with my new base layer. It keeps it's shape with wear and the colors are even better than on the screen. I am thinking of getting another.

Highly Functional   01-23-07
Anonymous: rating
Extremely functional either as just a top or as a layer. The wicking properties are exceptional to keep you warm and dry. I wear it quite often.

Can't beat the wool...   12-16-06
benjammin (39): rating
You can't beat the temperature regulation of wool. It keeps you warm when you need it, but doesn't bake you when the weather is a little more mild. If you don't like snug, form-fitting garments, this is probably not the top for you. I usually don't care too much for the form fit, but this thing is so stretchy, that it's still pretty comfy. If you're looking for a no-bulk, excellent temperature regulator - this is the top for you.
