Product Details
Description:
Slide into a baselayer fabric that works just as hard as you; the Rho LTW Zip long sleeve shirt from ARCTERYX is constructed of stretch knit Mountain Merino wool that provides insulating warmth and superb moisture-wicking and odor-stopping performance. Layer it up on cold days or wear it alone for your outdoor aerobic pursuits; this itchless form-fitting foundation uses natural fibers that move moisture away from your skin and resist backcountry stench.

Features:

  • Enjoy the body-mapping fit of the Mountain Merino knit wool with added Lycra for enhanced mobility
  • Prevent odor microbes from sticking around and draping you in your very own backcountry scent thanks to the natural antimicrobial properties of Merino wool
  • Don't worry about working up a sweat, the lightweight fibers move sweat away from your skin to the outside of the fabric where they can evaporate
  • When you really get moving, cool off quickly by adjusting the deep front half-zip
  • Push yourself for that last handhold - the gusseted underarms prevent that unexpected cold breeze up the back
  • Head out the door for a run but not without your house key, store it in the laminated chest pocket with laminated zip

Specifications:

  • Weight: 9.8 ounces
  • Fabric: 95% New Zealand Merino wool / 5% Lycra



We ship Arcteryx items only to addresses within the United States

Comments about Arcteryx Rho LTW Zip Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's:

I use this shirt for skiing. It fits well, is long enough to tuck into the bibs I usually wear, and the neck is just the right length to cover everything, but not bunch. Pretty nice looking as well. The sleeves are slightly longer than I would like, but I like the sleeves shorter than most people.

Comments about Arcteryx Rho LTW Zip Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's:

It's a nice merino wool turtle neck baselayer. It is definitely meant to be a bottom layer and a tight fit. Definitely does it's job but not sure if it's worth the pricey cost. If you have the money why not just drop it on a nice item like this?

Comments about Arcteryx Rho LTW Zip Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's:

I love the Rho LTW. My wife and I both have base layers from Arc'teryx and we both like the wool material the best for layering.

It doesn't hold an odor (not a very bad one at least) and we find the fit to be nice. My only complaint about the fit is the medium is a tad too short for me but the large is too baggy. I'm 6' tall, 165 pounds with an average build.

I like the small zip pocket for most uses (key, id, etc.) but it is too small for a passport which is a shame. I also wish AT had more colors of this.

Also the material is very durable. I haven't seen any signs of pilling and I've been wearing these layers for almost a year now.

This layer is very warm once you start sweating a little bit and stays warm as long as you're active. It's also comfortable (I'm wearing one now as I write this) and I don't mind wearing it out. I actually bought several of these for my recent trip to Scotland/England and found them to be indispensable.

You should do yourself a favor and get at least one of these to try out!

If you do not like things a little snug order up a size, but that may defeat some of it's performance.

Comments about Arcteryx Rho LTW Zip Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's:

This is a nice, soft Merino wool top...but just be aware that if you order your normal size it will be nearly skin tight (but stretchy)...meaning you won't be able to wear anything underneath. It's made with superfine Merino that is soft...but maybe slightly less soft than a comparable Icebreaker top. The chest zip pocket is a nice touch...but since it fits so tight you will likely have it underneath something else anyway. Overall a nice top..but could be slightly looser fitting for versatility.

Comments about Arcteryx Rho LTW Zip Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's:

Merino is the grand master and Arc does a fine job of creating a killer base that performs very well. Very comfortable and does not stink. There is just a slight problem with the hand washing but that is easy to figure out. Maybe I run a little hot but using it for bike rides seems a problem. Other than that well worth the high cost of a natural product - try to get it on sale!!

Comments about Arcteryx Rho LTW Zip Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's:

I just picked the shirt up and really enjoy it. The merino wool feels great against the skin and it looks great when worn by itself. I cannot vouch for its durability yet but from my experience with other arcteryx items they are very high quality and always worth the money. Once you go Arcteryx you never go back. You won't be dissapointed with this as your lightweight wool baselayer.
