I've been through a lot of headbands over the last few decades: for me they mostly have been for use during outdoor musical performances, and also for general fitness. This is the best headband I have ever owned, and it's worth every bit of the $8 I paid.

I recently started playing VR boxing, and my old 2" terry headbands were not cutting it; the HMD was always soaked by the end of a session. I had my reservations about a headband as thin as this one, but not only did Temple Tape enable me to be more comfortable with the HMD on, but the HMD stayed totally dry after 1hr of boxing (I was definitely sweating), and I never had a single drop of sweat in my eyes. I continued to wear this band through weight training, and was impressed by the results; it kept me dry, and stayed in-place. If I decide to step out into the sun: the thin material of this headband will enable me to comfortably wear a fitted hat over it. I'll never go back to old-school terry headbands after Temple Tape.

I wanted something to keep the sweat out of my eyes and still have the ability to wear sunglasses when I go running. This headband certainly fits the need and it functions very well. It is a light and thin headband - not bulky. It stays snug without feeling like you have a Boa Constrictor on your head. There is a lot of material at the front, so you can cover most of your forehead (especially if your hair grows in "clear", like mine) or you can roll/fold it depending on your preference. This way you can move it closer to your eyebrows or pull it up to the top of your head - wherever it feels comfortable.

It worked very well on my first run using it. No need to wipe my brow or sweat out of my eyes at all during the run. Obviously, it was damp after I finished my run. I hung it up and it dried out quickly. I used it the next day for a kettle-bell workout with the same results. No need to stop and wipe off the sweat and no interference with the workout activity.

This comes in a two-pack and I don't need two. So, I asked my son if he wanted to look as cool as I did with the head-band on and use the second one. Of course he wanted to look as cool as me in front of his teenage friends and took the second one. Being serious for a moment - It really worked well. He used it under his helmet for lacrosse during his practices. It is thin enough to wear under his helmet without causing bulkiness, being irritating, or compromising the fit of the helmet. Plus, it keep his hair out of his face without feeling restricted. It worked so well his teammates want one, too.

4-stars. Why not 5? I have only had the headband for a week. Obviously, I cannot comment on longevity or how this product wears on the long term. I am happy with the purchase, my son is happy with my purchase. The headband has a soft, quality feel right out of the packet. The bonus is you get two for this price. I think it is a good value and a quality product.

I have thin straight hair so this doesn't stay in place like it could if I had thicker or more textured hair.

It is nice over all. Not tight,seems to do the job of keeping sweat out of my face. If I didn't have to adjust it a few times during my work out it'd be great.

If have tried other head bands. Many that do stay in place are actually way too tight and cause a headache.
This headband is light weight and doesn't put pressure on my head.

*edit 1-13-18 I have given the head band a few more tries. I find I'm liking it more and more. Sometimes it still feels like I need to adjust it,but over all it has beat my original expectations. I still think thicker hair will help or curlier hair,but it has worked well for me. Some of it might just be in my mind as I'm so used to having to adjust most every other head band I've ever used.

I recommend this to others. It really keeps the sweat out if your eyes.

If you're bald, you realize how much your previous hair absorbed sweat, because without it, you're left with sweat pouring down your head. I have never really seen a headband/bandanna that I felt looked good and would function the way I thought. After seeing this online, I thought I'd give it a try, because it is an extremely fair price.
After my first run, down here in SW Florida, I immediately had to go and take my daughter to school. I forgot to take this headband off and as I drove home from dropping her off, I was able to get two full squeezes of my sweat out of my window. It absorbed way more sweat than I could have imagined, and didn't feel soaking wet or heavy post workout.
So far, I love this product. The material is great and does what it's intended to do. I've even worn it under my straw hat as I mow the lawn and it still worked perfectly. Highly recommended.

I never used to sweat when I was younger - to the point where it was probably dangerous. Well, fast-forward to my 35-year-old self taking a kickboxing class where I was more embarrassed by my dripping sweat than paying attention to my workout. 😬 Yikes, and gross. For my second class, I wore this. Man! No dripping, and I wasn't sweating any less, I hate to say. This thing was soaked at the end of the hour. I read another review where someone said they wrung out the sweat. They weren't wrong. I did it to gross my friends out.

I'm going to order a lot more of these. I'm so impressed! Didn't make me extra hot and stayed in place the whole time. A little boring in design, and I looked like I was wearing a hijab from the front, but it was so worth it.
