Questions before you buy
The things runners actually ask us
Everything below is about this headband specifically — how it fits, how it handles sweat, and what to do if it isn't right for you.
That's the thing a headband has to get right, and it's why this one is cut wide rather than narrow. A wide band spreads the tension over more of your head instead of concentrating it in a thin line, so there's less for it to pivot on. Put it on once at the start and it should still be sitting where you left it at the end.
It sits across the forehead, above the brow, which is the path sweat takes on its way down. The fabric holds what it catches rather than letting it run straight through. On a hard session in the heat, no headband holds everything — but it buys you a long way before you need to wipe.
One size, unisex. The band stretches to fit most head sizes, and it's the same width the whole way round, so there's no right or wrong way to put it on.
Yes. It's thin enough to sit under both without bunching or pushing the cap up off your head. Under a hood it also stops the hood edge sliding down over your eyes.
Machine wash cold with like colours, then let it air dry. Skip the tumble dryer, the iron and the fabric softener — softener coats the fibres and stops them moving sweat the way they should.
Send it back within 30 days and we cover the return shipping. Try it on a real run first — a headband tells you nothing sitting on a table.
