Comments about Buff CoolMax Headband:

In my previous review, I stated that this really absorbed sweat well. It did for a bit, but after about 45-60 mins of cycling, the sweat just dripped from it. It got into my eyes and I had to stop and wipe the sweat from my eyes. I might try using this in combination with the Halo 2 headband to see if that works. I sweat a lot and this didn't end up cutting it.

Comments about Buff CoolMax Headband:

In this horrible Texas heat, this thing saves my eyes from stinging while cycling. I had purchased the original buff for this, but found it to be slightly uncomfortable when wearing a helmet.

The headband is great! I basically fold it in half and it absorbs most of the sweat. The least objectionable (for a guy) pattern that REI carries is the black one. But black absorbs heat in the summer. I ended up buying the black one anyway and the turquoise sari one.

Comments about Buff CoolMax Headband:

I wear this headband everywhere. It is so cute and it fits so perfectly around my head. I wear it to the gym, on runs, when I hike, when I fish, ALL the time! It keeps my crazy hair out of my face and it breathes very nicely. If you have trouble with fly-aways or you are in a windy element and you don't want your hair blowing in your face, this is a must have!

Comments about Buff CoolMax Headband:

I bought the Kekbram which turned out to be light green and brown. On my monitor, it looks like tan and brown. I do, however, disagree that the circumference is wider than the regular Buff Wear as the other reviewer stated. I think that the fit just feels different since there is less fabric to work with. This will not be relevant to everyone, only those of us who order size large in hats. Overall, this is a high quality and functional item.

Comments about Buff CoolMax Headband:

I use it as a headband to keep my long hair out of my face when I run or exercise with DVDs. The circumference is wider than the Buff Wear (the one that can be worn 12 ways). It stays on and won't give me a headache. And since it is a band, you won't have to deal with excessive fabric or being too warm.

The only thing is that it offers a lot less fabric designs than the Buff Wear. I got the blue one (black sold here) but I wish that there are more choices.

Comments about Buff CoolMax Headband:

This is my world traveling accessory! Wrapped it around my wrist when I surfed to absorb water when I wiped my eyes, wore it as a headband during hot/humid climbs and hikes, covered my ears when I was running, and it's always a quick fix for bad hair! The best part is it never stretched out and it was quick drying!
