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.

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.
