When your winter adventures take you to the slopes or into the snow and ice, it’s vital to have a base layer that will adapt to conditions once you’ve started working up a sweat or stop moving. The Men’s Rho Merino Wool Zip Neck Base Layer from Arc’teryx is crafted from a blend of Merino wool, elastane and nylon, boasting an incredible performance of naturally regulating your temperature and managing moisture so you stay warm in the cold, but cool once you’ve warmed up, and moisture is moved away from your skin to keep you dry.
The fitted cut has been developed to stay close to your skin and move with your body thanks to articulated patterning that prevents restrictive mobility and means the base layer fits comfortably under outer layers but will also sit well over a first layer should you need it. With a deep, half-zip neck, get the Rho on and off with ease and increase ventilation to your body. A durable merino and nylon blend paired with flatlock and merrow stitch seams to alleviate chafing and irritation to keep you comfortable for long stints on the skis, the Rho Merino Wool Zip Neck is a lightweight, highly versatile top ideal for your winter layering system.

Natural materials like wool are great sustainable options because they will biodegrade at the end of their lifecycle, however, we must still carefully consider the way in which the wool has been sourced and produced. The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is the most widely established certification for the responsible production of wool, auditing the entire chain of custody from the farm through to the garment manufacturer. Note that not all responsibly sourced wool will be RWS certified.
