The Arc'teryx Rho LT Bottoms are a fleece-lined, durable base layer that works well as a standalone layer or under shell pants in cool to cold weather. They deliver warmth, excellent durability, and strong wicking with comfortable, stretchy fit, and true-to-size comfort, though high water absorption when wet and long leg length can be drawbacks; ventilation is important to prevent clamminess in heavy sweat.
Durable synthetic base layer tested for skiing, hiking, climbing, and snow play, offering a strong warmth-to-wicking balance and fast drying. The high-rise, comfortable fit with flatlock seams layers well under other layers and moves well with activity. A noted drawback is that the fabric tends to hold odor after use.
The Arc'teryx Rho Bottom is a lightweight, versatile long underwear bottom designed for multi-sport use. It features a high-rise waistband, a stash pocket, and a comfortable, stretchy fit that works well worn alone in cool conditions or layered under ski gear; it’s not the warmest option for the coldest months and is priced at a premium.
