Sweat Headband X2

The thicker band is great.

I got tired of trying to complete rides with sweat raining all over my sunglasses and running into my eyes, temporarily blinding me and stinging my eyes. I tried a handkerchief tied around my forehead which helped for a little while but once it was soaked I was back to the same thing but now also had a sweat soaked rag drooping down over my eyes! I did my research and discovered both the Sweathawg X2 cap and the band and I purchased both. So glad I did! The headband works best when it's really hot and humid and when the temps cool down I throw on the cap. The Sweathawg X2 is a little thicker in the front than the normal Sweathawg and is really good for those of us who sweat profusely. Works fine with my helmets, just have to adjust them a little to accommodate. If you're looking for something that works to control annoying sweat from going into your eyes and all over your sunglasses you can't go wrong with the whole line of Sweathawg products.

I was curious about this versus the normal headband. I’m glad I bought it! The normal headband kept me in a waterfall of sweat when I bent my head down. This product keeps all the sweat at bay. So don’t waste your money on the normal headband.

Only thing I've found that keeps the sweat out of my eyes during hard cycling days. Fits under my helmet and is comfortable. I have rinsed it in cold water and put it back on for some cooling relief as well.

Best headband I've found. I sweat profusely. Wear it all day working outside in my garden. We live in Texas. Thx Sweathawg!

I bought this for my son 2-3 years ago because he has a very laborious job where he sweats a lot. This headband has been the only one that will keep his face dry. He loves it and wears it everyday, working or not. We've been so impressed with the performance of these headbands that we ordered two more just recently. They are the best and you can't go wrong with them.

Wow what a headband. I live in central Florida and love to work outside in my garden and my yard but I sweat profusely. I bought a couple of these headbands to try and love them. Instead of going through 4-5 headbands a day, I only had to use one headband all day. I love the X2 bands!!!!!!

The sweatband is better than a sweatguard as I like to drop my head down/stretch when in an aero position and the sweat would pour out of a sweatguard. Although the sweatband still lets a small amount thru on the side I tend to tilt to, it is still the best head sweat product I've used so far.

Does not wick up all sweat but better than cheaper band. I work out in closed setting so I can't wring it out during workout. Would like to see these people improve this but they decline.

Specific to X2: Compared to the original lighter and thus more comfortable on the head. Sweat absorption feels the same and possibly less then my originals. I wish the absorption area would wrap more around the sides. For me it ends before getting to my ears so sweat likes to go from the sides to my eyes when I bend over. Limited color options are a bummer, but I like the lighter feel, so I live with it. I have always been a heavy sweater even as a kid especially doing martial arts for many years, but nothing I tried then was either comfortable or even worked enough to make it worth it. Fast forward to 2 years ago I got back into martial arts and was reminded how painful it was to have sweat pouring into my eyes for an hour. I started a hunt for a headband. I tried many brands that I found on Amazon and most of the touted ones only try to route the sweat away from your eyes. They are uncomfortable, and my sweat load would basically overflow the dam. The absorption ones would just get saturated within 20 min or less. Sweathawg was towards the end of my list to try because of its cost…$20 is a lot for a sliver of cloth, but holy cow bells. The performance and comfort of the others just don’t even come close. I promptly bought more of them and now up to eight with a mix of originals and X2s. They both cover an hour session of martial arts and the 30min weight training sessions are child’s play for them. I replace the band half way if I go for two hours.

Same small complaint I have with the originals is I wish the absorption area would wrap more around the sides.

I hike the hills in the San Diego area. I hike with trekking poles and, on uphill stretches, it was very frustrating to have sweat trickling into my eyes and burning. I hated to stop and break my rhythm/momentum so first I'd close one eye and keep going but eventually I'd have to stop and wipe the sweat from my face before continuing for a few more minutes. I purchased the X2 headband in April and loved it immediately but was still curious how it would work in warmer temperatures. Now, after a few hikes in the mid-90s, I still love it. I wear it low on my forehead, with the bottom actually covering my eyebrows, and it works great. No more burning eyes and I never have to stop now. Thanks Sweathawg!

I got this sweatband as a gift for my bf who sweats alot & he was able to try it out & loved it. I highly recommend this sweatband.
