Sweat Headband X2

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.

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.

Heavy sweater from Alabama and the Sweathawg absorbed the sweat better than in sweatband i have used. I just placed an order for two more.

My husband has always been a really heavy sweater - he has a physical manufacturing job. He always has sweat dripping off him, especially in our hot summers of 40 -50 degrees C. I did my homework and sourced these bands and they are the best thing ever. No longer dripping when at work, or when doing his favourite hobby - cooking, at home etc etc. He says they are really comfortable, and they are now part of his daily uniform! I am glad i went ahead and got these even though i am from Aus - it was well worth it!!!!

For some reason my review didn't get posted. It's good because I've had more time to use it. The sweat band works . I'm a heavy sweater and grow produce for a living. The sweat band eventually gets saturated . Then it starts getting in my eyes. Takes about an hour for this to happen. It does work better than most. Maybe sweathawg will come out with an X3 or X4.

I sweat more than anyone I know. I grow produce and work in the garden and greenhouse every day. I've been wearing it a couple hours at a time and so far it has handled the sweat. I'm pretty sure I can out sweat this band if I kept it on for a longer period. It is a good sweat band. I'd buy another to alternate if they weren't so expensive. Good product.

If you live in warmer, humid, sub-tropical weather, i.e. South Florida and you're a runner; you're going to sweat, A LOT! No matter if you wear a running hat, headband, etc; sweat is going to eventually come streaming from your head and into your eyes (ouch!). I bought one of these bands and at first was skeptical since I had tried so many things. However, this product is different, as it held up and soaked an insane amount of sweat before I had to remove it and wipe my eyes once or twice. Good quality and it does what it says or what the company claims. Did not give it five stars because as I said it didn't quite manage to keep all sweat from getting into my eyes. It's however, way superior than any other product I've tried. I've since bought a few more to keep around.

Purchased SweatHawg X2 to try instead of cotton bandannas during workouts. This headband was VERY wet when I finished, but did not drip. The band could have been a little bit longer. Was disappointed in the expensive shipping ($9.50 on an $19.00 light-weight item). Suggest giving repeat customers a discount on future orders as an incentive to buy again.

I am a long distance cyclist and have been struggling with saturating my headbands and getting tons of "trickle." Not only did this work, but I didn't even to change it out at my turnaround spot. I'll be buying more!

I bought the headband for a PCT section hike, because I needed to wear my glasses. I sweat far more than the average person, so much so that when I'm doing cardio in the gym, people get off the machines next to mine and move to another away from me. I literally soak a bath towel with sweat during an hour workout. So when I climbed a very steep trail with your headband and a full, trail weight pack pack without a single drop landing on my glasses, I was ecstatic! At the top of the trail I squeezed out the headband and amazed (and grossed out) a fellow hiker with the volume of sweat it held. I lost that headband, but I've replaced it with the X2 version. Another GREAT product!

I am very pleased that the Headband worked as described! I wore this for a few hours straight and it allowed me to see, and be presentable in front of guests. Chefs do sweat, but, nobody wants to see it!
