The original, perfected.

The Classic honours the timeless, bell-shaped silhouette of the traditional sauna hat used for centuries. Its iconic form is pressed from a single piece of premium 4mm Australian Merino wool, offering maximum heat protection for your head, longer hair and ears. This is the authentic way to find comfort in the heat.

Key features

  • 100% Australian Merino wool: expertly crafted from premium, 4mm-thick felt for superior insulation and breathability
  • Traditional bell shape: the authentic, time-tested design provides full coverage for the head, longer hair and ears
  • Seamless design: pressed from a single piece of felt with no stitching, creating a durable, long-lasting hat
  • Enhanced comfort: protects your head from intense heat, allowing for longer, more comfortable sauna sessions
  • Designed in Sydney: proudly designed in Australia for the modern wellness enthusiast
  • Includes drawstring bag

For generations, sauna users have relied on a simple tool: the wool felt hat. We created The Classic to honour this tradition. Its iconic bell shape is a time-tested design that provides complete coverage, protecting the sensitive areas of your head and the tops of your ears from the direct, intense heat of the sauna.

Our version is perfected for the modern era. Each hat is meticulously pressed from a single, dense sheet of 4mm Merino wool, resulting in a seamless, unibody construction. This technique eliminates stitching, the most common point of failure, to create a remarkably durable hat that is built to last.

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 10 reviews.

My Modern Hat has made such a difference to my sauna experience. I am a frequent sauna user and have tried hats from other brands, but find the quality is not as nice as FELT, and other hats start to loose their shape after a few uses. I have been using my FELT hat for months now, and previously only been able to stay in saunas for around 15mins, and now can stay for a minimum of 20mins with my hat. Awesome experience, thank you!

The Modern

Very Happy Thank you.

I bought the sauna hat for my Mum. At first Mum didn't like the shape, but after using it in the sauna she loves it! Protects her face and keeps her head cool. Great quality as well. Five stars for the FELT sauna hat.

The Modern

I absolutely love my new The Classic sauna hat from FELT. The quality is phenomenal, and it looks so beautiful and minimalist in the sauna. It keeps my head cool and completely protects my hair from the heat. A must-have for any sauna session!

This sauna hat is great. First time using burners to work, keeps the head much cooler in the sauna and allowed me To stay in there longer definitely. Worth a try for sure and looks cool unlike most other hats
