Submitted by MLeg a Cross Country Rider from Connecticut
Date Reviewed: July 21, 2009
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $13.00
Purchased At:Manufacturer
Strengths:Simple, lightweight, works as advertised.
Weaknesses:As previously noted, th eone size fits all may be too tight or loose on larger or smaller heads. It also leaves a temporary horizontal groove in your forehead after use.
Similar Products Used:None
Bottom Line:This product works exactly as advertised by building a small dam across your forehead which channels sweat away and to the sides, preventing it from dripping down onto your glasses. I sweat heavily and have always had a problem with this until I received the headband. Not a drop on my face/glasses during an extremely hot, humid ride. All other riders with me had problems with sweat on their glasses and are now ordering these headbands based on my experience. Although a little pricey, I will buy more of these and will NEVER ride during the warm season without one again.

Submitted by Bryan Strom a Weekend Warrior from Melbourne, FL USA
Date Reviewed: May 21, 2008
Favorite Trail:The Chutes
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $13.00
Purchased At:Price Point
Strengths:Keeps the sweat out of my eyes and off my sunglasses.
Weaknesses:"One size fits most"
Similar Products Used:rag tied to my handlebar, $5 Sports Authority headband
Bike Setup:'06 Trek Fuel EX9 - being upgraded as the parts get mangled
Bottom Line:The headband works for me. I'm one of those guys that sweats profusely, and moving from the Colorado foothills to central Florida didn't help. Before I bought it, I had to tie a rag to my handlebar or live with sweat dripping off my forehead into my eyes and onto my (prescription) sunglasses for most of any ride. I don't think I've had to clean my glasses even once with it. The only thing is the sizing - One size fits most. My head's on the high side of medium and it fits great. But without a lot of stretch, you may have trouble if yours is significantly smaller or bigger.
