Best Headband Ever

Absorbent

Cons

Best Uses

Strenuous Activity

Comments about Halo II Headband:

Problem: Running, hiking, working out, etc. Sweat would drip into my eyes and onto my glasses. Solution: Halo's line of waterproof material on the inside of headband forces sweat to flow away from your face. I was worried about this ridge being uncomfortable, but you can't even feel it. It's more absorbent than any cotton headband, and is a great product for anyone who want to keep sweat off their face and out of their eyes. Why this is only sold in the biking section is beyond me.

Comments about Halo II Headband:

Finally, a sweatband that really works! I'm a serious cyclist, and nothing is worse than sweat dripping on my sunglasses or stinging my eyes. I think I've tried everything on the market - headbands made of cotton, coolmax, and even one of those sweat "gutters". Nothing is perfect, but Halo is awfully close. Works great, comfortable, fits easily under a helmet, and easy to wash - I just rinse in cold tap water after a ride and hang to dry.

Comments about Halo II Headband:

I have always had problems with sweat dripping onto my sunglasses as I sweat profusely. After a 14 mile mountain bike ride I never even had to worry about sweat. Highly recommend. This thing is great and works very well. It is not adjustable but I have a large head and it fits me. Awesome product.

Doesn't Wash Well

Best Uses

Road Biking

Comments about Halo II Headband:

I sweat profusely whenever I exercise/bike. My eyes would sting when my sweat got into them until I discovered this godsend. Now, I can ride without worry. This product works as advertised. All my sweat rolls off my forehead and to the back of my head. My brother doesn't like it so much because he's showered by my sweat. He says he can see the sweat forming into a drop and then it flies off the back of my head and unfortunately, onto him most of the time. The only negative comment I have is that 1 of the 5 HALOs I have didn't wear so well in my washer. The rubber padding started to crack. It might have been my fault though because I used to put my gloves and headbands into the dryer. Now that I just wash them and let them air dry, they've been fine for the last two years.

Comments about Halo II Headband:

This works very well - keeps perspiration out of eyes and off eyeglasses!I sweat like a pig to say it straightforward and I could never find anything that kept the perspiration off my eyes and my eyeglasses. When I am doing long training or endurance events, the perspiration gets bad, smears and makes it hard to see - eyeglasses get all gummed up. I recently did a half marathon and lost my own little "Halo" even though I am no angel and I called all over to find one. I don't do any training or races or half marathons without it. This is the BEST! Really works - be sure to wash it occasionally

Comments about Halo II Headband:

I've used it on Century rides and long Mtn. Bike epics. It just works! Fit's under all my helmets just fine. I thought it might make my head too warm, but I don't even notice I'm wearing it once it's on and I have my helmet on. It really does keep the sweat out of your eyes/glasses. I used to just hate having sweat drip onto my glasses, but since I got the Halo, nary a drop on my lens'! Awesome product!

The product does what it's suppose to and does it Perfectly. Keeps the sweat off my eyes and forehead from dripping anywhere near my face.

I've been using one for 6 months now and its still as bright and clean as the 1st time i bought it. I Highly, Highly recommend this.
