With the Ottie Merino women's merino wool short sleeve t-shirt we set out to give women what they wanted. Out with the bright colours (though, we have one brighty in the range now, the Coastal Blue). Out with the piddly little sleeves and gaping neckline. In with a tee that's designed for the woman that hikes.
Ethically made in Australia (Melbourne, in fact) from Australian grown mulesing-free wool, our women's merino hiking top is ideal for that gruelling multi-day hike in Tasmania, your favourite day hike in the Blue Mountains, and paired your favourite bottoms at the pub at the end of that trip of a lifetime.
Made from 100% Australian merino wool
Made from 165gsm superfine merino
Relaxed fitfor normal bodies (no clingy 'athletic cuts')
Longer cut to avoid ride up when wearing a backpack, for easy tucking, and also ideal if you're on the taller side
All the benefits of merino wool—odour resistant, moisture wicking, temperature regulating, super soft, biodegradable, and comfortable AF!
Designed by hikers, for hikers (and climbers and runners and... whoever, really)
Perfect hiking shirt. A really lovely product. Light and soft and yet warm and very comfortable as my base layer while hiking. Sizing is true to size. Beautifully designed and constructed and great quality. Love the Coastal colour!"

I've been wearing it since it was delivered. Pros: The colour is nice, the fabric is, I agree, a little thicker than I thought but I like it, the length is longer than regular shirts but easy to ruche up, the neckline is great for protecting from the sun, and it's well made. Non-pros: The sleeves are not as long as I thought they'd be and the cut on the sleeves/shoulders is quite boxy. I don't like the skin around my armpits rubbing but unless I push the sleeves up into my armpits, then it rubs (and I get chafing). This boxiness at the shoulders is contrasted with the shirt being quite fitted over the tummy/bum area. Because of the armpit chafing issue, I can't wear the shirt on long hikes but for around town/post hike, it's fine.

Soooo comfortable
I bought this shirt for my new overnight hiking hobby. It has been so great… stays odour free and regulates my temperature perfectly! I love the length and the fit. The Plum colour is gorgeous. Thank you.

The search for the perfect merino T-shirt is over.
Completely blown away by these t-shirts. Every merino T-shirt I have tried has been somewhat itchy at first but not these! So soft, light and cool on the skin but not flimsy or see through. Length and cut is amazing, colours are beautiful!! Very pleased with my purchases.

Not my first purchase from Ottie, and again very pleased with my purchase. Good quality and value for money. The other three tees I have had for a few years are in good condition and have been laundered without fuss. Machine washed and even dried in a tumble dryer without ill effect. They don't fade, shrink or pill with use. Prompt mailing too. Thanks again, Ottie.

Great fit, no itch
I am a standard size 12 and got an M as I like a bit of room to move. The length is great for tucking in to pants, I am 164cms and is a little long if I don't tuck the shirt in but if it bothers me it will be easy to take up.
I wore it for 2 days in a row in hot, humid Qld weather on hikes with a lot of hills to test it out and there is no smell, I think I could wear it another day with no issue.
I didn't wash before wearing and there is no itch that can come from merino clothing. It is a really comfortable shirt to wear.
The colours are lovely, I own the plum, red and forest green, so much nicer than the usual boring neutral colours that outdoor wear often comes in.

Loved the long sleeve, purchased the short sleeve.
I love my plum long sleeve top that I decided to purchase it in a short sleeve top a few days before flying out for Egypt and Jordan. Ordered the top on Friday and it arrived on Monday and packed for flight next day. Service was exceptional and it was worth paying the express delivery to have it arrived on time.
The quality is high, the plum colour is gorgeous and the sizing is spot on.
Will definitely invest in more tops in the future.
