British saunas are currently enjoying a boom. They are popping up by lakes, beaches and in woodlands throughout the UK. And wild swimmers are flocking to them. We love the combo of the heat and the cold water.
Cue our 100% felted wool sauna hats, inspired by the Finnish style but with our won Wild Moose colour twist, these hats will keep you head temperature regulated as you enjoy your sauna, meaning you can stay in longer to get more benefits.
Heat rises, as we know, and thus if we are sat up in a sauna, our heads are the first thing to overheat. This can lead to light-headedness and dizziness, and dramatically reduce time in the sauna. The natural, temperature regulating properties of the wool fabric help to keep your head cooler.
Wool hats provide natural thermal insulation and slow down the effect of the hot air from the sauna environment getting to your scalp.
It is advised to wear your sauna hat dry, as when it is wet is will initially feel cooler but then the heat will pass through more quickly
Key benefits of a sauna hat:
Care
The natural felt sauna hats are not suitable for machine washing/tumble drying. They should only ever be gently hand washed with warm water, without detergents, and then air dried. Reshape while damp
One size fits most. It it is large on you, simply fold up the brim a little. If the hat is a little snug, dampen the hat and stretch it onto you head. Make sure to dry it before use to get maximum benefits.
