Halo HeadbandSweatband Sport Hat

The BEST sweat management hat ever made! I have tried a LOT of different hats for controlling sweat while running, working, or hiking. the rubber sweat band really works. And unlike some hats that you have to pull way down to get the sweat band low enough to protect your eyes, the Halo sweatband is hinged so you can have it lower or higher than the bill. The Halo Sport Hat also looks good and is very light weight. I like having the velcro strap for adjusting the width without a strap hanging loose. The bill is just long enough to provide effective shade for the eyes but not so long it catches in the wind or gets in the way while working. Also, the underside of the bill is black to reduce sun glare, unlike so many similar hats that are the same color on top and bottom of the bill.I sweat heavily and this hat soaks it up and actually feels cooler than no hat at all. I like it for running, biking, working in the yard, hiking, working in a warehouse, or just a day on the beach. Really, this is the perfect hat if you sweat so much that it runs into your eyes, or you need to pour water over your head for cooling. "Water blindness" will never happen with the Halo Sport Hat.The construction is top quality and the price is lower than many competitors of lesser functionality. My ONLY complaint has nothing to do with quality, fit or function: it is lack of some color choices. I would really, really like to be able to get this Halo hat in tan/khaki, and some shade of green from Kelly green to olive drab. I have the grey and navy blue but would much prefer the tan and green colors.

I was looking for a cap for under my vented bicycle helmet that would allow sweat to be wicked away yet protect my head from the sun. I also wanted a full size brim since I already have small brimmed and no brim cycle caps. This fit the bill perfectly. The two key things are 1) there's a separate sweat ban that's only attached to the corners of the brim to stop sweat from running into your eyes. You can move it up and down to your liking. It takes a bit of getting use to but it works well. 2) the caps adjustment in the back is a typical ball cap velcro style. It's not elastic inside fabric. It doesn't interfere with adjusting my Sena helmet to my head.

On my long runs, sweat drips into my eyes. Additionally, when I put sunscreen on my forehead it runs into my eyes causing a stinging mess and blurring my sunglasses. I saw this hat advertised in Runners World and figured I would give it a try. It has a rubber strip inside the band that, when properly put on, keeps the sweat from running into my eyes. It works as described. I had to experiment a few times with putting it on properly and keeping the band low on my brow to achieve these results. It is worth checking out Halo's website to see how to put it on properly. I know, everyone knows how to put a hat on. Turns out this one is slightly different. Front first then slid down over the back of the head (check out the web site).The fabric of the hat is similar to a moisture wicking sports shirt. It is not too hot and keeps the sun of my face. So...this one is a keeper.

Hat works great when you first get it. It ventilates well and keeps moisture out of your eyes. It feels great. Then the sweat gutter begins to separate. I superglued it in 3 different places and it still comes off. The headband part in the front begins to deform. I cut the whole front part of the headband off. Still a useable hat just less effective for sweat.

I use this not only on the golf course, but for travel to warm areas- wicks away moisture on the head and keeps the eyes dry with the band. Always on my travel list.

This Halo hat is the best running cap I've found to date. I'm an avid runner with thinning/balding hair, so a cap is essential to me. I've tried many other brands, and just about all of them have a decent level of comfort and protection. This cap however, has a built-in rubber sweatband, which is excellent for hot weather runs. While other caps still allow the perspiration to run down my face into my eyes, this one catches most of it and keeps my eyes clear.Even with the extra feature of this cap and its sturdy construction, the price is very competitive with other, 'regular' hats.Putting the cap on takes some practice -- the sweatband fits snugly. I usually put it on front-first, getting the sweatband in place, then the rest of the hat.The one I currently have has been through hundreds of miles and a few races. I plan to buy another one, though this one has plenty of wear left in it.If you'd like an alternative to the other running caps, especially something that will deal with the perspiration of warm-weather running, shop no further!

Really disappointed. The majority of the cap is a really weird material and no matter how it is fitted, it rides up just enough to be annoying and distracting and reduce the efficacy of the sweat band feature that makes their other products so useful in what I do. I like their visors well enough but wanted more overall protection from blazing Florida sun. It all comes down to being unable to justify bad fit, ineffective construction and reduction in the quality that can cause distraction while I’m working with horses. I’d return them but I wouldn't want a used hat if I were buying so I’ll probably wash these and pass them on to someone else to give them a try. Not sure I’ll try Halo products again though. If anyone out there knows of a similar product that they like better, I’d love your recommendation.
