Rho Glove

I thought these gloves would be the answer to my solution as I needed something thin but relatively warm for outdoor photography. I have worn it for 2 weeks taking the train to work only and the sensor pads on the fingertips is already peeling off. The sensor pads are also not responsive on the phone so I have to always wear it half off to use the touch screen. It does keep your hands relatively warm but the material is not good. I doubt these gloves will last for more than a few months if you are wearing them regularly.

I love these gloves, they’re simple but very effective for their purpose. Quality is superb and perfect for windy days that don’t warrant for a thick/normal glove. Also helped making my winter gloves fit more snug which is great. Overall, amazing gloves and worth the money if you’re going to be using them a lot.

These are simply the best liner gloves I have found and the ones I always want to have in my pack - winter and summer. In the winter I usually wear them from the get-to, inside mittens. They slide in and out of mittens/other gloves more easily than most liner gloves because they are thin (but still warm) and fit the hand, well, like a glove. I have an older red pair and the touch screen patches on the index fingers are starting to pull away from the fabric. Perhaps if I hand-washed them instead of machine washing, that wouldn't happen. I haven't worn my new blue ones yet - am just hoping I like them as well as the red ones. I bought two pairs because I love these gloves!

I was looking to upgrade to a higher quality glove for cold weather. After some research, what I decided to go for was a separate liner and glove combination. The balance I was striving for was an outer glove that was relatively thin, form-fitting, and waterproof, but did not sacrifice to much with regard to warmth. These Rho gloves were by far my favorite choice for a liner. I decided on the M size because wearing them with my choice of outer gloves I found the liner would come off together with the outer glove perfectly. The outer gloves I purchased were SealSkinz DragonEye's. They are also very form fitting and I was concerned that a liner, even the thinnest, would increase the bulk and limit dexterity. Not the case with the Rho's. Very thin. I don't really use the Rho's without my outer gloves, but I found that the sensor pads are somewhat awkward though still functional. The senors are a flat stiff material positioned more on the pad of the thumb and pointer finger, not the tips of the finger. It takes a little getting use to but you can use the gloves for typing on a phone. After 3 months (Dec-Feb) of wear in Minnesota the fabric began to deteriorate at the tip of one of the fingers. I unfortunately lost one of the Rho gloves in February so I can not give a now 8 month review to see how the deterioration wold have progressed. I contacted Arc'Teryx to see if I could get a single glove replacement. As I expected they could not since I bought them at a local REI store, but they provided me a discount code to purchase a new pair. Their customer service is amazing by the way. I love the style and fit of all Arc'Teryx's products. I own Solano and Cerium LT Hoody puff jacket.

These are versatile gloves but I can't use them alone below 0-5 degrees. Work well when it's raining too. I like these for running, and for using as liners when it's colder. Great as a spare pair of liners in the bag.
