Usage
How to use
your hat
Put it on dry
Wear it before you enter the sauna, while it's still dry. Make sure it covers your ears and forehead.
Keep it on the whole time
The hat works best when worn consistently throughout your session, especially on upper benches where air is hottest.
Optional: wet the hat
For extra cooling, soak your hat in cold water before wearing. It feels cooler as the water evaporates.
