Holding My Earbuds in Place
Apple earbuds do not fit well in my ears, especially when at the gym. I swing kettlebells hardstyle and invariably one or both buds fall out and swing along in sync. Same thing happens with wireless, which is worse because they land on the floor. It also doubles as a sweat band. Now that it is approaching winter it triples as warmth to my ears. Great product design not just for cold weather. I’ll use it year round.
LOVE
Bought this guy for the JMT & ended up living in it on trail. I slept in it, wore it over my hat while hiking and it was easy to hang on my chest strap when I warmed up for the day & didn’t feel like taking my pack off. I don’t like beanies because I like wearing a ball cap, this fit perfectly over my hat. For bed time, I used it as an ear warmer & eye mask, made it way easier & more comfortable to get to sleep. Perfect warmth level all the time. Didn’t stretch out or smell bad. So sad I lost it but will be buying another.
Great for keeping ears warm under a helmet
Bought this earband to keep my ears warm on my bike commute on colder mornings. It keeps my ears nice and warm, is very soft, stretchy (but not too big) and fits well under my helmet. Inside is fleece and outside is a more spandex-y material.
Not durable.
Stitching came undone after a few casual uses. Worked relatively well, but the quality is not worth the price.
Soft over earphones
What is nice about this headband for me is that the out edges are what are a bit snugger and and the middle material does is more lighter and softer. Thus I put the out edges on outside of my ears and then with earphones on the headband doesn't put too much pressure of the earphones into my ears. Plus better coverage for ears than a hat. Well a lot of times I wear a hat with this too. So like good coverage over ears and soft with earphones then a hat when it's cold for top of head etc.
Nice ski band for low 20's to high 40 temps
Relatively thin & good stretch in it. Not warm enough for single digit temps unless pull hood over it. But great for high 20's thru mid 40 temps, including bike riding on cool days as it is thin enough to wear under your helmet. Exactly what I was looking for.
Keeps ears warm
I use this headband during hiking, running and kayaking in cold weather. It keeps my ears warm. I wear my sunglasses over it and they stay on fine. The band washes well after my activities.
Great for chilly bike rides
Got this to wear under my bike helmet for rides on cold days. It was less expensive than some other similar products and works well for this purpose.
Too thin
This is much thinner than I expected. I returned it and bought the Polartex Fleece headband which has a nice thickness and feel...and cheaper.
Warm, light. Cozy ears.
This is good for cycling rides, and I took it on my trip to New York in January. It kept my ears warm the whole time. Good purchase.
