Here’s what people are saying about Halo Headband products.


Harry - Massachusetts            September 2008

I just finished my first ride wearing the Halo Skull Cap and wanted to thank you for this great product!
It is 85 degrees here in Boston today and usually in weather like this I have sweat pouring down my
face after a few miles.  Today, no such problem!  The skull cap fit comfortably under my helmet and
did a great job keeping my face dry and the sweat out of my eyes and sunglasses.  I strongly recommend
this product.


                                                                                                                                                   







Bruce - Georgia                       July 2008

This is the first time I've ever written a company to share what a great product they offer - I'm usually
writing to complain!  The Halo II is an incredible engineering marvel.  I recently feared I had left my
Halo on the tailgate after leaving a nice mountain bike ride when I couldn't find it after getting home.
I drove miles back to the trail to see if I could find it in the parking lot without success.
 
I then, of course, ordered three new Halos. One for me, one for a friend, and an extra to cover my
habit of losing things. Much to my surprise (and delight), I found my "lost" Halo when cleaning the
extra cab in my truck properly. Normally, I would have been pissed that I spent money unnecessarily,
but I am actually very content knowing that I have extras to give to other friends or just hang onto
in case I lose the rest. After a run in 95 degree Atanta heat and our usual humidity without a drop
of sweat getting into my eyes, I was shocked when I wrung a ton of sweat out of the headband.
Thanks for an awesome product!

Hi, I wanted to leave you feedback regarding my satisfaction with the halo sweat bands.  I’m an avid
fitness enthusiast who spends 45 minutes per day on an elliptical in my local gym. Even on low humidity
days I sweat so profusely that I constantly must wipe my brow and eyes while working out. It’s a huge
distraction, very annoying and somewhat dangerous closing your eyes and wiping off the perspiration
while working the elliptical. The halo sweatband has solved all of that for me.  I am so pleased with it’s
performance that I’m going to kick my time up to 60 minutes. What a great product for both comfort and
safety.

 
Jennifer - San Diego, CA        December 2007

I ordered two Halo Headbands for me and my husband to wear when mountain biking and I have to say,
it’s just an ingenious product! I live in San Diego and sunscreen is a must and a hazard when you sweat
and it the sunscreen gets in your eyes. The Halo Headband solved that issue completely. I ordered four
headbands to give to my mountain biking buddies here and ordering the headband and visor for two
other buddies who run and bike in Colorado. I know these will be some of the best Christmas gifts they
get this year! Thanks again for developing a durable product that lives up to its name and reputation.

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that I bought your product.  I do a lot of long distance bike
rides and sweat all the time.  I saw your ad in a magazine and decided to try it out.  I am getting ready
for a 200 mile bike race next month and I plan on using my halo headband the whole way.  The headband
has reduced the amount of sweat running into my eyes and given me clearer vision of the road.  Thanks.

    You are alomost to the top of that long climb, you look up and a waterfall of sweat
   cascades across your glasses.  Yuck.  Halo Headbands think they have come up with
   a solution to your problem.  It is called the Halo II Headband and sells for $ 12.95.

   Features:
   The Halo II is a pullover headband made of two thin layers of Dryline fabric to
                             evaporate the sweat.  A   feature dubbed Sweat-Block technology redirects the sweat
to the sides of the Halo if the Dryline fabric becomes saturated.  The fabric that covers all this is made
from micro fiber polyester that has been embedded with silver ions.  These silver ions are claimed to
prevent the growth of bacteria.  The Halo II is available in black, blue, white, red, or pink and stretches
to fit all head sizes.  You can get more information by calling (800) 508-4256.

MBA rating: Five stars for a headband? You bet.  This is one of those simple products that will become
as much a staple in your riding gear as your helmet.  Slide on the Halo II, take the fit pads out of your
helmet (or go the next smaller size, because the Halo II acts as a fitting pad) and put your helmet on.
Notice something?  A more secure firm and secure fit than you ever felt with the helmet's stock sizing
pads.  Now go ride and make sure it is hot.  Go ahead, sweat like you are in a sauna.  The thin Halo
soaks it up.  No more showers of sweat over your glasses.  Going downhill, the Halo keeps the helmet
from rocking around on your head.  And unlike helmet pads, our Halo never got stinky, plus it is easier
to wash (just throw it in the washer with your jerseys). 


Skip - Northfield, VT                September 2006
"Our son is a hockey goalie and sweat getting in his eyes during practice and games has always been a
pain.  During a normal one hour practice he goes through 2 to 3 sweatbands.  Matthew is also a runner
and while reviewing a copy of Runners World, we noticed your ad and immediatley ordered two of the
Halo Headbands.  WOW!  Matthew couldn't be more pleased.  Rarely do we ever see him have to clear
his eyes now.  Your product works extremely well, so well in fact that he has recommended it to all his
other friends who are goalies!  Thank you...

“I just wanted to thank you guys for a great product. My wife bought me one of your Halo II headbands
for Father’s Day and it is by far the best headband I’ve ever used. I live in the deep south and we get
more than our share of heat and humidity. I sweat like the proverbial pig when working outside. The
run-of-the-mill headband gets soaked on me quickly, and my eyes start burning. I used your product
this past weekend and could not believe how well it worked. I never once had to wipe my face on my
t-shirt or wring the headband out (like I usually do). Simply wonderful product. Thanks.

   “The Halo Protex really works! My partners and I use them everyday in the field and they
   are very effective at keeping sweat out of our eyes. I can vouch for the fact that they work
   as advertised, and very well at that”




Tony M.                                     July 2005
“I want to pass along a story. I went out tonight for my usual Thursday night club ride. Being July in
southern New Jersey, the weather was as expected: hot and humid. When I got to the ride, I realized
that I had forgotten to pack my Halo headband, as I had hung it to dry after my previous ride. ‘No big
deal’ I thought. WRONG! Within the first few miles, my face was soaking, my eyes were stinging and
my glasses were covered in sweat. By the end of the ride (26 fast miles later), everything was drenched:
helmet, gloves (from wiping away the sweat), face, jersey, and I could barely see out of my sweat-
stained glasses.” “Never again! I will ALWAYS remember to pack my Halo for future rides. Just wanted
to let you know how pleased I am with your product!”


Dana W.                                    March 2005
“I met you at the LA Expo before the marathon and bought one of your headbands. I am writing you to
express my surprise and appreciation for this product. This was my 14th marathon and I have grown
used to head sweating, particularly during the second half—so much so that on many other occasions
I've arranged with family and friends to meet me at mile 15 with a fresh set of sweat bands. Still, I
couldn't convince myself to try your headband without a backup—so I lugged around another bandana
the entire race.” “Your product works! It is the first headband I've ever used that can provide dryness
and drainage for an entire marathon. It's comfortable and never gains any weight—because it channels
the sweat down the sides and prevents buildup in the band. You've hit on something that is needed and
that works! Thanks again...”


Bill H. - Skate Instructor           January 2005

   “Thought I would drop a note and tell you how much I enjoy your headbands! I discovered
   them over a year ago searching around the net, bought one of the original tie headbands
   to try it out. What a difference it made! As I wear glasses all the time, I was always having
   problems with sweat dripping down onto my glasses. With the Halo headband, I no longer
   have to worry about it! Sweat is transferred away from the front of my face and I NEVER
                      have any problems!” ”After that, I decided to try out one of your Halo Protex. All I can say
is GREAT! Really helps keep my head cool and dry! I have managed to lose my original tie headband and
will be ordering another soon, but wanted you to know what I thought about them.”

Sometimes, headbands, caps, and do rags just end up holding your hair in place rather than keeping
sweat off your face. Not so with Halo Headband products. One of the most common aspects of a
headband is the wicking property of the fabric.  Unfortunately, the rate of perspiration can overcome
the ability of the fabric dissipate the moisture. You still find yourself using your T-shirt or jersey sleeve
to wipe away sweat from your face. Or, it gets on your sunglasses and distorts your view. It was
obvious how Halo solved this problem. A simple but most effective solution was for the creators of
Halo to put a watertight strip on the inside of the headband. This strip feels like rubber and is thin
enough so it remains comfortable against your forehead.  The strip diverts the perspiration away from
your eyes. You can always count on cyclists (who founded Halo) to create something simple yet effective.
To put it to the test, I first saturated the Halo Headband, sport hat, Halo II, and Halo Protex with water.
After a couple hours of racquetball, I realized I never once had to wipe my face with my T-shirt or clean
sweat off my goggles. The next test on the bike was the same. I thought the position of leaning over
would surely allow sweat to run down on my eyes.
Halo Headband products performed as advertised and eliminated a pesky annoyance. The products also
evaporated moisture through the Dryline® fabric. The standard headband ties while my favorite was the
Halo II elastic, one size fits all. There is also a bandanna style Protex and a sport hat. The Anti-Freeze
band had a wider design for covering your ears in colder weather. The inventors at Halo thought of
everything and they made it work! As they say, “don’t sweat without it!”.
 

 Paul B. - Ultra Marathoner and Bicyclist
“After being introduced to the Halo Headband, I never realized how easy it was to keep the painful sweat
out of my eyes…now I  never run without it.”


Bill D. - NORBA Masters Mountain Bike Racer
“The Halo is a great invention. Unlike other sweatbands, the Halo wicks the sweat away from my eyes,
thereby preventing discomfort and temporary loss of vision. If you wear contacts or glasses, Halo is a must.”


Jeff C. - Marathoner
“The first time I tried the Halo Headband was during a training run while preparing for the New York
Marathon. I tried it a couple of times and noticed a huge difference in my comfort level while running.
The Halo does a fantastic job of keeping the sweat and sunscreen out of my eyes so I can more clearly
focus on the workout. Now I use it not only for running…but tennis as well. I highly recommend it.”


Scott H. - San Diego Police Department Bicycle Patrol
“The summer heat can really cause a sweat problem, especially with the heavy gear we carry. The Halo
Headband helps us see clearly in any situation.”

"I love how they don't slip off my head
 like normal headbands!
- Hayley

"I like the thickness of the headband,
 it's just right and not too thin."
- Kelly

"We love how the yellow seal prevents
 sweat from dripping down the face.
 They are so comfortable!"

Our newest international dealer has
successfully promoted our Halo
Headbands by waking up early on
weekends and going to his local
mountain bike trails. There he asks
people to try his Halo Headbands.
 
Many riders now call him "Mr. Halo"
and local outlets have begun selling our
products due to his strong belief in how
                                                                       well they work.
