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!"

Great shirt
Just what I wanted. I’ve used it as an under shirt for my scrubs for thermo regulation. Seems like nice quality so far but unable to comment on durability just yet.

OK, so I was wrong
I bought an Ottie T a couple of months ago and said something like "too boxy at the chest, sleeves leave a gap in my armpit" but then I started wearing the T around home, then out on errands, then on trail. Well, it performs better than I thought. Why? The length means I'm not tugging it down from under my pack, the round and high neckline mean more sun protection, the sleeves are longer and it isn't clingy. That original shirt is still great. I came back for a different colour (Otway Fern) to dissuade mosquitoes and horseflies from snacking on me, while also making me unattractive to wasps. So, yes, I was wrong in my first impression. Sorry.

Comfortable Merino in a Great Colour
This is my 2nd Merino T Shirt from Ottie. I have been buying merino from Ice Breaker for many years but I have now switched to Ottie as I like the longer length of the Ottie. I wear these T Shirts every morning to walk my dog, the beauty of merino is that I wear it for 5 days in a row on our morning walk before needing to wash. They are also great for travel as they can be worn multiple days to cut down on washing. Highly recommended and I am a future customer.

Love these tops
This is my second colourway in this top. I love the longer length and thickness of material in these Ottie merino tops, and the sizing is just right (not too tight).

Perfect
Using the Ottie size chart & measuring width of a favourite fit tee shirt rather than a body measurement gave Size M which is perfect for me.
The quality of manufacture & feel of the fabric cannot be faulted. Very happy with this purchase.

Almost but not quite
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.
