Sauna hats for hot saunas

Want a sauna hat handcrafted by masters?

Everybody gets too hot in a sauna.

Typically we Finns don’t wear a sauna hat.

However in Estonian saunas it is a tradition to wear a hat.

I started making sauna hats in 2023 after I moved to Estonia and learned about local sauna customs.

I invite you to purchase a sauna hat.

Why wear a sauna hat?

To keep your head cool.

Since your ears are heat sensitive, and hair can be damaged by the boiling temperatures you meet in the sauna.

01
Insulate your head from the heat to especially protect ears, scalp, and hair.

02
Allow body to absorb more heat

03

I thought I know saunas and then I came to Estonia.

Now I work with the best sauna accessory crafters & materials to make the best possible hats.

I feel happy to enjoy sauna and spa experiences with new and old friends.
