Women's T-Shirts & Shirts

How can you choose the best shirts for hiking and camping?

High performance hiking shirts need to be durable, lightweight and breathable to handle the rigours of trail activity, especially in warm weather. Long sleeved shirts are better than short sleeved shirts, as they provide extra sun protection during the day and shield you from bugs and mosquitoes at sunset. Your camping trip is probably more about relaxing in the great outdoors rather than exploring, so a soft-touch, lightweight, breathable t-shirt may be more suited. Like with any of your outdoor gear, think about where you're heading and what the weather conditions will be like before deciding which style from our huge range is best for you.

What materials are Mountain Design's shirts made of?

Like all of our high quality apparel, Mountain Designs women's shirts and women's t-shirts are made from technical, performance fabrics that ensure comfort, protection and fit no matter what your adventure. We use hard-wearing, highly breathable polyesters and polyester blends for our long sleeved shirts, creating purpose-fit garments with the durability required for hiking, camping or just everyday wear. Our women's t-shirts use Merino wool blended with recycled polyester for thermal regulation, breathability, moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, and natural odour resistance, giving you relaxed comfort all day long.

Which women's tees and shirts are suitable for wet weather?

All of our women's shirts and women's t-shirts are moisture-wicking and quick-drying, helping manage perspiration away from your skin to keep you comfortable on active adventures. They are not, however, designed to withstand a heavy downpour of rain. Pair your shirt or t-shirt with a rain jacket, which has technical features like waterproof fabric, an inner membrane, a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment or seam-sealed construction, to keep you dry in wet weather. Simply layer one over the top of your undergarments and get back to your adventure.

Which shirts are the most comfortable?

Our shirts for women use cotton, polyester and recycled polyesters, while our t-shirts come in a Merino wool blend. Both have a soft-touch feel on your skin so your choice comes down to personal taste. When it comes to shape, our huge range adopts design features like curved hems, forward-set shoulder seams and contoured silhouettes for improved fit and enhanced comfort. Whether you're looking for women's work shirts, or shirts to play in, get more out of your gear with Mountain Designs.

Which women's shirts offer the best sun protection?

Sun protection should be a big factor in your decision-making when you're kitting up for outdoor adventures, especially on hiking and camping trips. Nothing spoils a day out more than having to smear layers of Aloe Vera onto lobster-like, sunburnt skin before bed. Our long sleeved shirts offer the best coverage from harmful UV rays, fully protecting your arms but keeping you cool with their high breathability and moisture-wicking properties. Along with your hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, they will keep you covered.

Which women's shirts are great for cold weather?

Our women's t-shirts are made from a high performance Merino wool blend, with the fibres of the Merino wool naturally regulating your body temperature. They are also soft-to-touch. So for warmth and comfort in cold weather, these t-shirts make an ideal choice to layer under a jacket or vest. Merino wool is also highly breathable and moisture-wicking so you won't feel stuffy or damp once you get more active. Another option in cool conditions is one of our long sleeved shirts, because they provide added protection from wind and chilly air.
