Questions

Everything you need to know.

Quick answers before you make The Koala Hat part of your sauna routine.
What does a sauna hat do?

A sauna hat puts a layer of insulation between your head and the dry heat of the sauna. It protects your hair and scalp from direct heat and makes sessions more comfortable, for longer.

Does it protect my hair?

Yes. The Koala Sauna Hat protects your hair and scalp from direct sauna heat with a layer of 100% Australian merino wool, and many customers tell us their hair feels better after sessions. It isn’t a hair treatment, so keep conditioning as usual.

Why is it made from merino wool?

Wool is naturally insulating, soft and well suited to high-heat sauna use. Our hats are made from 100% Australian merino wool for a premium feel.

Is it one size?

Yes. The Koala Sauna Hat is a one-size style designed to fit most sauna users.

Does it work with long hair or a bun?

Yes. It sits best pulled down snugly with your hair loose or tied low. A high bun can change the fit.

Where do you ship from?

We ship from Sydney, Australia. Orders placed before 2pm Sydney time on a business day are dispatched the same day.

How do I care for my sauna hat?

After each session, let your Koala Hat air dry naturally. Spot clean gently when needed and avoid machine washing to help preserve its shape and feel.

Can it get wet?

It can handle normal sauna use, but we recommend letting it dry naturally after use and avoiding soaking or machine washing.

Still deciding? Try it in your sauna routine with our 30-Day Koala Guarantee.

Store owner replied: a treat for the hair is exactly what we're after, amanda πŸ™ enjoy the sauna!

Been using saunas for a couple of years now without a sauna hat and noticed in the past 6 months more and more people were wearing them. Wasn’t a huge fan of the style of the ones I saw online and when I research into them most were not made with the best of materials. I then found koala hats and really liked the checkered style, and the fact it’s 100% merino wool instant sold it to me. Ordered from the UK and hope to see more koala hats in the saunas here!! Done a few sessions wearing it now and have definitely noticed a longer more comfortable experience.

The Koala Sauna Hat

Store owner replied: this is the review of the month, jason πŸ™ a sauna regular who did the research and picked merino, we're stoked. converting the uk one sauna at a time, and we'll do our best to help you spot more koala hats over there 🐨 enjoy the sessions!

I’m very happy with this sauna hat. The quality feels great, and it does an excellent job of protecting my head and ears from the intense heat. It’s comfortable to wear, fits nicely, and doesn’t feel heavy or irritating during a sauna session. Overall, excellent value for money and I would definitely recommend it.

The Koala Sauna Hat

Store owner replied: this is everything we hoped to hear, aldrin β€” thank you! comfortable, protective, and great value is exactly what we're going for πŸ™ enjoy the sessions!

It is fantastic! The quality of the fabric is second to none. It keeps my head so much cooler. The only thing I don’t 100% love about it is the shape when I put my hair up in a bun.

The Koala Sauna Hat

Store owner replied: so glad it's keeping your head cool, melinda! the bun fit is something we hear occasionally - the hat sits best pulled down snugly with hair loose or in a low style. worth a try next session! πŸ™
