Halo HeadbandII Sweatband Pullover for Men and Women

Favorite headband for running so far. I have tried Sweaty Band, Bondi Band, and although they soak up some sweat, once they are saturated in a short time, sweat starts running down my face into my eyes. Sweat and sunscreen burning your eyes while running is not fun. I have worn this band for 2 runs and it worked perfectly. I have a small head and I was worried because this band looked small. It was the perfect size. I run in 90 degree, 90% humidity weather. This band absorbed so much sweat. It didn't slip, and it kept the sweat out of my eyes. I just ordered 2 more!

I've been riding my road bike for about two years now and ignoring/dealing with the inevitable sweat making it's way into my eyes. That is my local bike shop told me about this product that another, more experienced rider highly recommended thus product, so I tried it. It worked better than I thought possible, but only did it do an awesome job absorbing my sweat, what makes it so "revolutionary" is the built in what I refer to as a sweat channel that diverts the excess sweat down the sides of my face not allowing it to get in my eyes.I loved it so much I promptly ordered another!

The nature of running never changes. What does change about running is the end times of the winners of the main events, generally improving over the years.I was fortunate to witness the running boom and have been a runner ever since, now at age 71 still running 10k every other day.There have been lots of changes in running gear since those times. Around the time they began talking about making marathons more accessible, there was also a real awakening as to the potential earnings that could be derived from this most basic of sports that used to cost next to nothing to do. All that was needed was something runners would wear to make them uniquely identifiable, like the logo on a shirt, a stylish pair of shorts, or a trademark running hat. There is not much else except the shoes, and that in itself has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Win a major race wearing your sponsor's product and you will be a superstar forever.Sweatbands are a good identifier. I've been wearing plain white stretchy terrycloth sweatbands for as long as I can remember simply because they work fine, and they only cost a dollar from Walmart. BTW that's two counts against Millennials ever wearing them: 1. They were stylish in the 1970's, and 2. Walmart sells them.If you prefer being stylish then you may find the Halo 2 or one of its many sibling sweatband products to your liking. My head is size 7.1/8 and my Halo 2 is a tight fit. Although stylish, it doesn't soak up all that nasty salty sweat that causes so much havoc on electronics. But they are better than wearing no sweatband at all because they channel the flood elsewhere instead of letting it all run into your eyes. They claim to help with evaporation, but in practice won't keep up with the continuous flow. However, they are stylish, and expensive, and available in several colors.I have one very good reason for wearing my black Halo 2. It is the best way I have found to wear a clip-on mini cam reliably for an entire 10k. The sweatband fits tight, and the camera will stay exactly in the position I place it from the start of the run to finish, and I get an excellent video of everything that occurred during my run. Otherwise, I'll just keep wearing my white terrycloth sweatbands.

This is the best sweatband i've found so far! The sweat channel works well, and does a good job of pushing the sweat away from my glasses towards the sides of my face. I sweat like an absolute pig while mountain biking, so it comes in handy not having to clean my glasses every mile. The Halo II holds plenty of sweat, as can be proven if you wring it out here and there when you stop. It seems high quality and has held up well through its first 20 uses.The Halo II is stretch like a standard headband instead of the original that uses a bandana style tie in the back. I prefer the stretch because it fits better under my helmet. At first I was skeptical and thought it might be tight and itchy but it isn't. It actually conforms and I forget its there as soon as it absorbs the slightest bit of moisture. I got white so it would blend in with my helmet, but the white is kind of vivid at first. Of course it was dirty looking after the first use and dull like I expected. If you care about looks you might want to get a dark color.Now on to the only reason it didn't get the perfect 5/5 stars. When you look down while wearing the band, the sweat will pour down onto whatever you are looking at. For example, you look straight down at your map while wearing it soaked with sweat.. and you can kiss that non-waterproof map goodbye. I stopped to adjust my caliper here and there only to get irritated with the sweat pouring down onto my caliper while I tweaked it. Simple solution, whenever you stop to look at a map or something.. wring it out quick and put it back on. Also keep in mind that you don't want to wring it out while wearing gloves... i've unfortunately been there..
