Great gift
Bought it for my dad who is in the sauna three times a week. He has not stopped mentioning it. Nicely packaged and clearly well made.
The sauna ritual, refined
A wool hat for
the top bench.
Your head sits closest to the ceiling, where the air is hottest. A barrier of still wool slows heat absorption — so you stay comfortable, and stay in longer.

Why a hat
Your head sits closest to the ceiling — where the air is hottest. A wool hat changes the session.
i.
Stay in longer
Wool creates a barrier of still air that slows heat absorption at the scalp, so your head stays comfortable through a full round instead of telling you to leave.
ii.
Get the full benefit
Sit out the session your body actually needs. The hat lets you stay long enough for the heat to do its work, on the bench you want to sit on.
iii.
Protect your hair
Dry heat above 80°C is hard on hair structure. The hat shields it from direct heat exposure for the duration of a session — every session.
From the journal
After the first session with the hat, I sat for fifteen minutes without checking the door. I didn’t know I’d been checking the door.— Eero K., founding customer

Does the job
Really happy with this. Works exactly as promised.
Quality you can feel
You notice the wool the moment you pick it up. Thick, even felt with clean stitching. It has softened nicely over a month of weekly use.

Why Sauna Hats Matter: The Benefits of Head Protection in the Heat
Your head absorbs more heat per square centimetre than any other part of your body. A wool felt hat changes how long you can stay — and what the heat can do for you.
