Arc'teryx Rho Lightweight Neck Gaiter

Arc'teryx Rho Lightweight Neck Gaiter description

Arc'teryx made their merino wool Rho LTW Neck Gaiter to provide simple, versatile insulation for skiers, mountaineers, and winter campers. Wear it around your neck in cold weather, or pull it up over your nose when the wind starts howling. The Rho LTW Neck Gaiter even works as a topless hat should the need arise.

Bottom Line: The Arc'teryx Rho LTW Neck Gaiter proves that the most basic pieces of gear are the most versatile.

I consider this a great and indispensable piece when it is really cold/and the wind is blowing. In contrast to the Patagonia gaiter (fleece), this is merino wool and thinner ...but it doesn't itch and actually has a better feel than the fleece ones. Also more compressible. If you want to avoid the searing wind chills, this is part of the kit.

Would have given it 5 stars had it fit better. Too snug. I wear a mens medium or large in shirts & jackets and this gaiter was not roomy enough. When pulled over mouth on chairlift it's hard to talk coherently. Wool is awesome though....
