Halo Headband Skull Cap - The Ultimate Sweat Diverting, Absorbent, Lightweight, High Performance Skull Cap

As someone who reads all of the reviews for a product before I purchase it, I want my reviews to be as authoritative as possible for future buyers. Therefore, I wait until I have used a product several times before posting a review of it. I have now used this product for over 500 miles of bike rides in the past 45 days of summer in Central Florida. To be succinct.....this product works splendidly! I am a person who sweats profusely, especially my head. I once worked up a sweat replacing a lightbulb in a walk-in freezer. When riding my bike, I used to take along two water bottles. I used one for drinking and one for rinsing the sweat from my eyes. Then I saw another rider at a rest break wearing one of these and quickly looked it up on Amazon as soon as I got to a computer. Reading all of the reviews, I purchased this style and also purchased the one that ties in the back. The reviews mentioned that this style made someone's head hurt and that it left a mark across their forehead. The first time I wore it, I had a little discomfort and it did leave an indentation mark in my forehead that lasted for about 30 minutes. About the same time as a "bedhead" wrinkle from a pillowcase lasts on me. I then did the "unthinkable" (at least for me) and read the directions. Placing the sweat deflector where it was supposed to go, relieved any discomfort I previously felt and the mark lasted only about 15 minutes. Plenty of time for it to disappear before I got to my favorite post ride watering hole. Most remarkable aspect of my experience with this product is that it performs magnificently! NO SWEAT in my eyes PERIOD! No dangling drop of sweat on the end of my nose. PLUS when I take a break and remove the cap for a few minutes and then put it back on, it is like sticking my head in a bucket of ice! Bicycle riding in Central Florida in August and September, this extra benefit is a welcome relief. I also use it to work in the yard and any other jobs or activities, such as golf, where I have been plagued by sweat running into my eyes and also ruining caps and hats. I now know what to get as gifts for my hot-headed friends. P.S. I also have a rather large head and the one size on this fits perfectly for me; after I read the directions on its correct placement. You do NOT need to pull it down flush with the top of your head. Indeed, it actually works better for air flow if you have some "slack" in the top of the cap instead of pulling it down to your ears.

Comfortable and let the motorcycle helmets slip right on without bending your ears up. When it is hot, or you are hot, it helps keep the sweat out of your eyes! I have worn these under a straw hat when working in the yard when it is hot, love them.

This headband does a great job channeling sweat away from my eyes during runs and hard workouts. It's thin enough to wear under a helmet or hat, and the fit is snug without being too tight. Four stars because the white shows dirt quickly, but it washes clean and dries fast. A simple, effective piece of gear I reach for often.

This is the skull cap to get if you are getting a skull cap. The rubber strip is the key. It prevents sweat from getting into your eyes. Other skull caps don't do that. Halo is the brand to get if you sweat a lot.

I am a runner and I sweat from my head profusely. I am not talking about some drips in the eyes. I'm talking shorting my headphones out...ridiculous amounts worth of sweat. I bought the Halo band and it worked pretty good, but i left it at the gym after 1 use. I decided to try the cap, because the band still allowed sweat to build up and then run out of the top -- It worked great. Of course I still sweat from my face, but the cap kept the vast majority of my head sweat under the cap, which it then channeled out the the rear. Finally...no sweat in my ears! Many reviewers complained about the cap being tight or the band creating a red line in their forehead. Well, of course the band will put a line on your head -- it's tight. That's what socks due to legs and any headband will do for that matter. Also, the cap it not one size fits all; it's one size fits most. If you were a very large hat size, then this cap may be too tight or cause a headache. If you sweat a lot and have an average sized noggin, buy this cap!

Bought this to wear while working outside in the heat and to keep sweat from dripping in my eyes. The sweat band does just that.

I'm an adult male and the hair up top has almost.. disappeared! I'm not big on hair and I'll never consider even for a moment hair replacement or wigs (God forbid !) I prefer the clean 'Captain Jean Luke Picard' look (for the Trekkies out there!) so for many years now I get very short crew cuts. Under the hot bright sun if my head is hat less, it soon burns and looks close to a ripe tomato! The pain and discomfort is part of the whole deal of course, as you must have imagined. Did I mention already that I don't like sun screens either?.. I can't stand this oily feel on my skin, esp. on my face let alone that recent research claims that these products do more damage than the sun alone, as far as skin cancer is concerned. I scuba dive. I've lost on the dive boat my share of baseball hats due to the wind, they fell into the sea and bye bye hat. So I tend to be hat less on the dive boat under the hot bright Caribbean sun. Add hours of snorkeling too in the equation and my head is burning literally by the second day of my dive vacation and looks like a piece of hot lava! Other divers commend that I must seek medical treatment for 3rd degree burns! All this until one day I saw another fellow diver on the boat wearing a similar skull hat and gave me the idea to try it. Why I haven't thought of that before beats me... After some research and reviews reading on Amazon I purchased a couple of skull hats, among them this one. No matter how silly it may sound, I must tell you that this is one of my best buys ever. Head burning problem during my dive trips these days is a thing of the past. The hat offers excellent protection from the UV rays, no more pain or discomfort. It is a very comfortable and tight enough fit above and under water. After my dive day I rinse it with fresh water, it dries overnight and is ready for service the next day. I've brought this very hat to two dive weekly trips, used it daily and looks like new.

I was running in the Phoenix summer, sometimes going miles in 107°F (42°C) with no shade - EXTREME sweat. This cap works fantastically for providing sun shade on the top of the head and keeping sweat out of the eyes... ...for as long as it lasts. The rubber strip on the forehead is glued on and not as elastic as the headband it's glued to. This means that ever time you wear it, the headband is trying to stretch away from the strip. First the ends start coming off, then so much they fall out of the cap and I had to cut them off to get a little more use out of it, and after a few months the entire thing comes off. Then it's just a below-average skull cap. If they fixed the elasticity differential, or attached the band some way other than with glue, this would be an easy 5/5. As it stands I will not be purchasing another one now that I need a replacement.

Producto excelente

Yo que sufro de hiperhidrosis, y que en mi paseos en bicicleta se vuelven un martirio una vez que empiezo a sudar, me escurren chorros de sudor por la cara, y me tengo que estar secando a cada 3-4 minutos, esto es lo mejor que he usado hasta ahora, es increíble, ni una sola gota cayó por mi frente, ojos y cara.

Ive found the halo headband excellent in the summer. This skull cap seems to be really effective in colder weather

Ces bandeaux aident beaucoup lors de gros efforts. Pour faire simple , quand les bandeaux simples de tennis tenaient même pas 10 mn, celui-ci permet d'être au sec pendant 45mn.

I purchased this in 2020. I bike at least 200 days a year and it still looks brand new. It washes well and I find the fit to be excellent. Its UPF rating is very high.
