This is a sweatband I picked up to use under my bike helmets. I sweat pretty heavily, and through the summer months, I’ve had problems with sweat running into my eyes or onto my glasses. This little guy is a huge departure from the elastic-and-terry-cloth sweatbands I grew up seeing joggers wear. It’s made of elastic, wicking fabric, is nearly seamless, and sports an embedded silicone band that directs sweat away from your brow. It’s pretty effective.
It’s also too small. Much to my chagrin, after riding with it on for a half hour or so, I get a headache from it squeezing my head just a touch too hard. This is something of a theme in my life, when it comes to headwear, since my noggin is just a little larger than average. And for other clothing, since my arms and legs are a little longer than average. So nothing ever quite fits me the way it was meant to, and in this case, it renders an otherwise well-designed product mostly useless. I’ll see if I can stretch it out enough over time, but I don’t have high hopes.
