Sauna hats to keep you cool

Get a sauna hat handcrafted by masters.

Typically we Finns don’t wear a sauna hat.

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

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

Now you get to enjoy the results.
