I was very skeptical.

They help immensely.

The big idea is that, normally, your head being too hot is the reason you have to get out. If this is the case, you'll also feel slightly dizzy or drained later.

This, surprisingly, keeps your head way cooler.

Think of it like a thin layer of insulation.

It slows down the speed at which temperatures converge.

When the air is waaaay hotter than your head, it keeps your head cool longer.

(Also -- hot air rises in a sauna, so air-around-head == extra hot).

But isn't your head a "release" point on the body, and isn't the hat then keeping that heat trapped?  haha it seems very illogical but I'll trust your experience over the lack of mine!
