How breathable are running hats and headbands?
Many hats and headbands offer lightweight polyester with “wicking” technology. This helps ensure that the sweat accumulating along your forehead or other areas of your head evaporates. Wicking technology helps you remain dry and comfortable as you push through mile after mile.
Even winter running hats crafted from wool make an effort to remain as lightweight and dry as possible. Moisture-wicking technology once again helps you stay comfortable even when running through frigid air. Do you want maximum breathability while getting at least some protection? Switch to a headband or visor that helps protect important areas of your head, like your ears, while allowing the rest of your noggin to have a more open-air experience.
Speaking of protecting your head, remember to give your eyes protection with our assortment of sport sunglasses.
