FAQ

A sauna hat is a traditional wool headpiece worn to protect your head and hair from extreme heat while helping your body stay in balance. It keeps your head cool so you can stay in the sauna longer, more comfortably, and more safely.

⸻

Why Wool?

Wool is a natural insulator and temperature regulator.
It keeps heat away from the scalp while staying breathable and antimicrobial. No synthetics, no melting, no plastic smell — just pure felted wool built for heat.

⸻

How do I use it?

Put it on before you enter the sauna.
That’s it.
You’ll feel the difference almost immediately — no burning ears, no fuzzy head, just calm focus while your body does the work.

⸻

Can I get it wet?

Yes. Steam and sweat are part of the deal.
Just hang it up to dry naturally after use — avoid dryers or direct sunlight.

⸻

How do I clean it?

Hand wash gently in cold water with mild soap.
Air dry flat or on a hook.
Don’t twist, wring, or machine-wash — wool likes to be treated with respect.

⸻

What size is it?

One size fits most.
The felt naturally shapes to your head after a few sessions - that’s part of the ritual.

⸻

Is it made sustainably?

Yes. Schvitz hats are made from 100% wool — a renewable, biodegradable material — and produced in limited runs with minimal waste.

⸻

Where is it made?

Every Schvitz hat is crafted through our partner manufacturer with decades of wool-felt experience, finished and tagged locally in Australia.

⸻

How long will it last?

If you care for it properly, your Schvitz hat should last years of regular use — growing softer and more personal over time.

⸻

Do I really need one?

If you love the sauna... YES!
It’s not about looks. It’s about ritual, comfort, and staying sharp in the heat.
It’s for people who sweat on purpose.
