SQUAMISH, British Columbia, October 21, 2026 —
Sauna culture has taken off across Canada, from Nordic spas to wood-fired barrels by the lake. This Christmas, a small shop in Squamish, British Columbia wants to put a sauna hat on more of those heads, for free.
Sauna Hats Canada is giving away its grey wool Bucket Sauna Hat, which normally sells for $29.99. Customers pay only the shipping.
How it works
- Join the list at saunahatcanada.com. Codes for the free hat are emailed in December.
- Pay $19.99 shipping per hat. Each hat ships separately.
- Up to five free hats per household, while supplies last.
- Canadian addresses only.
Why a sauna hat?
Heat rises, so the air at head height in a sauna is the hottest in the room. A thick felted wool hat insulates the head, letting sauna-goers stay comfortable while the rest of the body warms up. It also helps protect hair from hot, dry air. Felt sauna hats have been part of Finnish, Baltic and Russian bathing culture for generations.
The shop also publishes a free guide to sauna hats at sauna-hat.ca, and a new journal on its website with sauna etiquette, gift ideas and advice on choosing a sauna hat material.
