The Active Shearers Tee: Proven by Pros

This tee is a long-standing champion, favored and worn for years by professional New Zealand sheep shearers. The Active Shearers Tee is built for maximum movement and performance in the demanding work environment.

Made from a finer, 100% Merino wool, it feels comfortable right against your skin. Merino's natural fibers actively regulate your temperature, ensuring you stay warm in winter and cool in summer.

Key to its design is the extra-long body fit, ensuring your mid-section is always covered and protected while you bend and stretch. It's specifically developed as a flexible garment that moves seamlessly with you. Best of all, the entire Active Shearers range is made from machine washable Merino wool for simple, easy care.

Also available as a singlet!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does 21.5 micron mean for Merino wool?
Micron measures the diameter of the wool fibre. At 21.5 micron, this Merino is fine enough to be worn directly against the skin without irritation.
Why is the Active Tee longer in the body?
The extra body length is a purposeful design feature for shearers and other physical workers who bend and stretch continuously, ensuring the mid-section remains covered throughout the working day.
Can I machine wash this Merino tee?
Yes. Unlike many wool garments, this is specifically made from a machine washable Merino. Wash on a gentle cold cycle with wool detergent and lay flat to dry.
How does Merino regulate temperature differently from synthetic fabrics?
Merino wool absorbs moisture vapour before it becomes sweat, releasing it gradually. This means the Active Tee keeps you warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot — synthetics cannot replicate this natural thermoregulation.
