Honest Wolf x Nigel Beach Sauna Hat - Navy
Product Overview
Product Specs
Everyone knows wool can keep you warm, but sometimes, it can protect you from the heat as well. That’s why we’ve collaborated with Nigel Beach to bring you the Sauna Hat.
While woollen hats and saunas don’t sound like your typical combination, there are actually a bunch of benefits to protecting your dome while you’re in the steam.
Through natural insulation, the felt helps regulate your temperature, prevents excessive heat from reaching your head and damaging your hair, and eases redness in sensitive skin. Used by professional athletes like the All Blacks, the Sauna Hat can prolong steam sessions, helping to improve cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and blood flow.
Made with 100% Papanui Estate Wool, the Sauna Hat is durable, antibacterial, and stain and odour resistant. Better yet, the thin waxy coating of fibres not only repels water, but always stops the growth of mould and bacteria, meaning it will stay fresh for longer and doesn’t needs to be regularly washed.

Papanui Estate Wool
Papanui Estate Wool is the fibre that has laid the foundation for over 80 years of family farming. To keep them happy and healthy, our ewes – a Romney x Kelso crossbreed who produce high quality 35 micron wool – are shorn twice a year. This allows us to craft a range of Honest Wolves that are biodegradable, and most importantly durable.

100% Cotton
We chose a 100% cotton lining because it’s long lasting and easy to clean. Better still, our cotton is detailed with a topographical map of Papanui Estate. The print includes the historic names of each paddock and shows you exactly where your Honest Wolf started out.

New Zealand Leather
Native New Zealand Leather is the natural choice to blend with our Papanui Estate Wool. We have partnerships with local farmers who work with the same ethical methods as us. The end result is always robust, takes on a defined shape, and is completely chrome-free.

YKK Zips
There’s no point investing in high quality materials if you’re going to put them together with sub-par fixtures. YKK Zips are world renowned for durability and functionality. We’ve ensured each piece is held together with the farm-tested YKK hardware, and given the best possible chance of lasting a lifetime.
