Merino shirts

Comfortable merino shirts for a natural feel

As a base layer for hillwalking and trekking tours as well as for climbing, mountaineering and skiing, many outdoor athletes rely on comfortable Merino sport shirts. Merino wool for producing Merino T-shirts, Merino shirts and Merino long sleeve tops is obtained from Merino sheep in New Zealand and Australia. They are characterised by their particularly dense and soft wool, which is ideal for being processed into functional clothing.

The natural fibre Merino wool is very soft and naturally odour-resistant. Merino shirts, Merino long sleeves and Merino socks can therefore be worn for several consecutive days on multi-day tours without them starting to smell unpleasant. In addition, Merino wool offers efficient moisture management and natural temperature regulation. That's why Merino sport shirts are warm in the cold and provide pleasant temperature equalisation in the heat.

Functional merino T-shirts for men and women

Companies manufacturing high-quality Merino base layers and Merino clothing, such as Icebreaker, Ortovox or super.natural, specialise in perfectly processing Merino wool into Merino shirts for women and Merino shirts for men. These incorporate not only functional and sporty aspects, but also fashion trends with trendy colours, anatomically optimised cuts and pretty decorations and designs.

Merino wool is sometimes manufactured as pure Merino wool with 100% wool and sometimes combined with other fibres as a Merino blend. Merino socks, for example, are often made from a material blend of durable nylon, stretchy elastane fibres and Merino wool. This makes the blended fabric particularly robust, elastic and easy to care for. Depending on the area of use, type of sport and activity, the material composition and the proportion of pure Merino wool in Merino shirts and Merino base layers varies.

Merino T-shirts for everyday, sport and leisure

In addition to sporty applications for hillwalking, climbing and trekking, Merino wool is also perfect for everyday wear and leisure with its amazing comfort. Since T-shirts and long sleeve tops made of Merino wool absorb almost no unpleasant odours, it is often enough to air the T-shirt well for a few hours, which saves on many a wash.

When travelling in warm and cold regions, Merino shirts impress with their temperature-regulating properties. While you quickly start to sweat in T-shirts made of cotton, and sport shirts made of polyester start to smell unpleasant after just one day, Merino T-shirts are the ideal choice for a high level of comfort that is also long-lasting on holiday while travelling and, of course, also for everyday wear.
