Halo Protex Bandana

I love Halo headbands, and just retired my original one as the rubber seal finally surrendered after many, many miles on the bike. Despite hard conditions and being crushed under a helmet, it lasted 12-14 years. My new Halo is maybe nicer than the original, and makes riding easier, as do the other couple of partial bands I have. Because I am bald, keeping my eyes clear is a challenge, and Halo has been the only good solution I have found to control moisture in my eyes.

Cycling when bald can be challenging, as hair helps with sweat management, and bike helmets aren't as bald-head friendly. Changes in wind direction, hot days, and stopping for lights all present extra challenges for me, and the Protex bandana is ideal because it keeps the sun off (try explaining the burned in pattern from helmet vents!) and redirects the water. Halo headbands in general a helpful, but this one is my favourite by far.

I had been having problems with sweat running into the corners of my eyes and with suntan lotion. The burning and tearing was not good. The first ride with the bandana I had nothing of the sort. It does take a bit of adjustment of your helmet fitting but I expect to use it a lot this winter in Mexico. Have only tried the hat once and need more time with that. It is a little more tricky to get used to and I haven’t had hot enough weather to justify it though 1st again absorbed a lot of sweat without any running into my eyes.

love the seal on the forehead and the way the sweat gets wicked away towards the top and back of my head.... no more stinging eyes

A must need, very practicle for those who sweat a lot!
