LoWell
Sauna hat

Today I learned a lot about the LoWell® sauna hat. This hat offers an excellent combination of quality, comfort and protection. In terms of material quality, it was emphasized that the hat uses high-quality materials, which is confirmed by its sturdy workmanship and seams. The fit of the hat is rated as good, even though no individual size options are available. The wearing comfort of the sauna hat is particularly noteworthy, as it is pleasantly soft while providing effective protection for the head and scalp. However, it is important to note that the hat is not machine washable, which makes cleaning a little more complicated. Nevertheless, the LoWell® sauna hat offers effective protection from the heat in the sauna, which underlines its protective function. It is also available in 21 variants. Overall, the LoWell sauna hat is characterized by its quality, comfort and protection and thus meets the expectations of a high-quality product for a visit to the sauna.

*The maximum score is 100 points

Customersrate the LoWell® sauna hat – felt hat on Amazon with an average of 4.4 stars. Some customers complain that the hat is cut quite large and is too big for smaller heads. Nevertheless, they are satisfied with the price-performance ratio. Many users appreciate the softness of the material and the fact that the hat does not fluff and retains its shape. The protection against high heat in the sauna is particularly positively emphasized, which consumers appreciate. In our own practical test, we confirmed the quality of the material and the effective protection against heat. However, the fit may not be ideal for smaller heads.

Prices of up to €54 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available for as little as €2 . The LoWell® sauna hat is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €9.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio isreasonable.
