Here’s what people are saying about Halo Headband products.
Jennifer - San Diego, CA December 2007
I ordered two
Halo Headbands for me and my husband to wear when mountain bikingand I have to
say, it’s just an ingenious
product! I live in San Diego and sunscreen is amust 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 mountainbiking
buddies here and am
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.

Halo II Headband
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).

"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...
Jim - Moblie, AL July 2006
“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.
Agent Conti - Swat Team September 2005
 “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.”
