Works great!Keeps the sweat out of your eyes.Fits under my bike helmet.Dries quickly.

Simply amazing.. these sweatband works perfectly. I’m impressed af.. just put it close to your eyebrows. No sweat in my eyes at last! I can wear my sunglasses while running without having to take them off to wipe the sweat out of my burning eyes and it doesn’t move an inch. To the brand GOOD JOB! 👏🏻

I had ordered the Halo II pullover version after reading some favorable reviews online and accidentally received the tie version by accident. Was kinda bummed at first, but now that that I've had this thing for about a year, I can't really imagine using the other version now. This one checks all the boxes for me.This review is for the tie version (not sure how to review the other, so apologies for those that find this review out of place - the review probably generally holds true for the pullover version as well):Very absorbent and does a good job of keeping sweat out of my eyes even though I'm a pretty profuse sweater. Keep in mind this headband may/will saturate at some point if you're working hard enough. After each use, I rinse the headband out thoroughly with warm tap water and then ring it out/hang dry. This gets the job done for me - no rashes or strange smells. I have not laundered the headband through the washing machine (not sure if this is discouraged by the manufacturer) but I imagine this would cause undue wear and tear, especially to the silicon? forehead gripper-band-thing. So far the headband has held up pretty well with no obvious signs of wear after a year of general use and heavy use the last 13 weeks (about 30 mins of indoor cycling every other day).I have a fairly good sized dome (fitted baseball hat size ~ 7 1/2) and there is enough length to comfortably tie it around without too much excess material. The headband is pretty comfortable to wear and makes me feel like Ryu from Streetfighter 2 when I've got it on. I use this mostly when indoor cycling at home and a few bold times in (semi-)public when camping/hiking.Although I don't have any experience with other headbands, I would highly recommend this product (i.e. tie version) to anyone shopping for a headband/sweatband. Lastly, the red/white/blue tie-dye colorway is really fun. It might be slightly over the top/kinda ridiculous but it looks great in person. To those on the fence about color choices, headbands are kinda stupid anyway - go bold and own it.

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..

Got this as weather and humidity heated up for riding my bike. It worked great, but I thought the wind was helping out. Thankfully I grabbed it for a hundred mile hike I did Memorial Day week. The temps were just above 90 with high humidity all week. We got to the start of the trail 3:30 first day and I couldn’t remember where I put my headband. We hiked 5 hours, with sweat pouring in my eyes and all over my sunglasses. I finally gave up and took off my shades because the sweat had made them unbearable to look thru. When we got to our first camp site and got set up, I found my headband where I had put it. For easy access, of course. Over the next 6 days and 90 miles I never had sweat in my eyes again. My face had sweat, of course, but it was not from my noggin running down into my eyes along the way. I wore it just above my eyebrows, and often forgot it was on.I am going to get another just to leave in my pack, and put another in my list so I can use it during yard work. Try it. If it only works half as good for you it is worth it.

It’s a headband, but with a trick up its sleeve. Sure, you could use a normal headband. But once it’s soaked, where does the sweat go? Usually into your eyes and face. The Halo’s built in silicone gutter channels sweat away - even after the band itself is soaked! That’s its simple yet effective superpower. It’s also very thin so it fits well under a helmet. When very hot, it can be a little uncomfortable during extended wear because your forehead doesn’t breath as much, but that’s a compromise I can live with to avoid sweat in my eyes while riding.
