The shirt that stays put under a pack

Made for under a pack
Soft under the straps and cut long, so it won't ride up when you hoist your pack.

Relaxed fit
Cut for normal bodies. No clingy 'athletic' fit, no sucking in.

Wear it again
Merino resists odour, so one shirt does the whole hike. Your tent mates will thank you.

Made in Melbourne
Australian wool, mulesing-free, RWS certified.
What hikers say
“Fit is spot on and like that they are longer too. Thoughtfully made for hiking with a backpack…”
“Thoughtfully designed with extra length and beautiful, ultra fine merino wool.”
“Sizing is great. Extra length at back is perfect.”
Size guide
Find your size
Lay your favourite tee flat and measure it, then pick the closest size. Short and long sleeves share the same measurements.

Why merino
Nature's performance fabric, and comfortable AF. Ours is 100% superfine Australian merino, with no synthetic blend.
Merino holds odour inside the fibre and lets it go in the wash, so you can wear it again tomorrow. And the day after.
Wool traps warm air when it’s cold and lets heat and moisture out when you’re working hard up the hill.
Merino pulls sweat away from your skin as vapour, so you stay drier under a pack.
Superfine fibres are so fine they bend instead of prickling your skin. No itch.
Natural and renewable, and it breaks down at the end of its life. Synthetics don’t.
Why it isn’t itchy
Superfine, measured in microns
Wool feels itchy when its fibres are thick and stiff enough to prickle your skin. Superfine merino fibres are so fine they bend away instead, which is why most people find ours isn’t itchy at all.
Superfine merino is 18.5 microns or finer. Lower is softer.

Made in Melbourne
We make every tee in Melbourne. Australian Made certified.

Designed by hikers, for hikers
We asked Australian hikers what was wrong with their merino tees: too short under a pack, too tight off the track. The longer cut and relaxed fit came from six months of testing with them. Made for hikers (and climbers, and runners, and… whoever, really).
Why Ottie
Pure merino, made here
The big outdoor brands make their merino shirts overseas. Ours are made in Melbourne from Australian merino, without blends.
How does it fit?
Relaxed, with a bit of extra length, and cut for normal bodies. About 9 in 10 reviewers say it's true to size. Want it a little snugger? Go a size down. You might see a little shrinkage after the first wash, so check the size chart against a favourite tee.
Is merino itchy?
Not ours. We use superfine merino, and most people find it isn’t itchy at all.
How do I wash it?
Nothing special needed. Machine wash is fine.
How long does delivery take?
We post your order the next business day. From there it’s up to Australia Post, so delivery time depends on where you are.
What if it doesn't fit?
Return it unused within 30 days of your order for an exchange, credit or refund. Email us and we'll sort you out. A $10 return/exchange fee applies, and for a wrong size or change of mind you cover the return postage. Full details.
