GUTR Flex Sweatband - Lightweight Performance Headband for Cycling, Sports, Gym, Work

I was recently getting ready for a MTB endurance race and a friend of mine saw me putting on my cotton headband and made a comment that I should really try the SWEAT GUTR Sweatband. Of course I replied I’m used to wearing my cotton headband; sure by the end of riding it’s soaked with sweat, but I’ve ridden this way for years. Anyway, after the race, I started looking at the SWEAT GUTR FLEX sweatbands and figured I would give this gadget a try. Honestly, I was really surprised after my ride today. I had zero in my face; this was a first. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS THE SWEAT GUTR FLEX SWEATBAND 1. Zero sweat was in my eyes! This sweatband works! 2. Since I'm not wearing my cotton headband, I noticed my head was a little cooler overall because I noticed the helmet vents actually doing their job. WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THIS THE SWEAT GUTR FLEX SWEATBAND 1. Sweat did find another location, my ears… not a massive amount, but I did feel a little sweat making its way into my ears. In all fairness, I do wear my Apple earphones while riding and these may have been a contributor to this nuance. However, I since I only used the sweatband once, I cannot say for sure. I will give it another try without my headphones. UPDATE: After a few more rides, and adjusting the sweatband, the sweatband is simply awesome. The one thing that was bothering me about a little sweat going in my ears is now a non-issue; even when wearing my Apple earphones... THIS IS THE NEWEST MODEL FOR 2018 According to the SWEAT GUTR website, the SWEAT GUTR FLEX sweatband is the newest model for 2018. From what I gathered from my research, the FLEX fits better under helmets than previous versions. Since I used mine today, I can attest that this fits great under a helmet. CONCLUSION The big win is that I did not have sweat in my eyes for the first time - ever. If you looking for a sweatband that will keep sweat out of your eyes, this will definitely do the job.

Intuitively it seems like this item would work, more so when you feel the high quality silicon rubber. But my closet it full of intuitive items that don't work, so I was anxious to try this out. Today it's 92F w/high humidity here in the STL swamp (go CITY SC!) so a perfect day to try this out with a 6K. It feels a bit odd at first, maybe a bit tight, and you have to wear it low around the eyebrows I assume for maximum catch. But it's like the pains of warmup, un-noticeable before you know it. After the halfway turnaround the heat was really catching up to me. I was amazed at how well this worked. Normally I wipe my forehead every 10 steps by that point in a vain attempt to save my eyes, I didn't do it one single time. I wear a visor, and used to just pull this down low to try to catch the salt. But (a) it didn't work and (b) that puts hot fabric over my forehead, which takes away an important heat radiator. Now I wear the visor high up more as just a sun block. A nice side effect is it kept my sunglasses (which are really prescription eyeglasses) totally clear. Normally 70% of the view is covered by salt and I just do my best to look thru it. Now? Totally 100% clear when I got home. The sweat goes down the GUTR, not the glasses. The hardest thing honestly is now to just run, stop messing with my forehead. Let that sweat go, forget it, it's there to cool you off anyway. Trust the GUTR, that salt is not going in your eyes. It will be hard to break that habit, I've clearly developed some unconscious tics endlessly trying to protect my eyes. I'm anxious to try it out on longer runs, and also on the bike. I see no reason it won't work just as well, it is a simple device that does exactly what you picture.

The GUTR is a really well designed and implemented headband for keeping your head sweat from running down your face and into your eyes during intense exercise. It does this really well, but it also comes with a tradeoff - because it is a rubber gutter, in essence, it does not absorb any of the water at all, it just channels it away to the side of your face. This is fine as it doesn't interfere with vision, but it can produce a pretty formidable sweatstream in the midst of activity. Occasionally the sweat will build up in the gutter, too, and spill over and that can go into your eyes. It's rare, but can happen. Overall, I am happy with the fit, feel, function, and value of this piece. I also use more conventional sweatbands at other times, but this is my go-to in warm weather for cycling, and also indoors on the trainer. Highly recommended!

I do a lot of outside manual labor during the spring, summer, and fall and my hat brim becomes so overwhelmed with sweat that it drips into my eyes. Not ideal when operating a chainsaw, mower, or swinging an axe/hammer. This band works incredibly well. You can literally feel the sweat down your forehead and then magically dripping away to the side, keeping your eyes free and clear. An added bonus is that it fits perfectly and inconspicuously under my hat. Absolutely perfect solution!

I use this for cycling in Atlanta which has a rather hot and humid climate. It is my second GUTR sweatband. I bought this hoping that it would be a little longer than the first one I purchased. It is the same length. While it contains sweat it can become overwhelmed. Since cyclists face downward while riding the GUTR sweatband is challenged to drain the sweat as it collects in the middle instead of traveling toward the back. I tried using it in combination with a second sweatband as a first line of defense, but that ended as soon as I had to wait at a traffic light. I will say that if I can keep moving then the GUTR is able to keep up as the wind blows the sweat toward the back where it can drain. My other comment is that it would help if the GUTR had little ears or low points near the ends of the gutter to prevent the sweat from draining back down the bottom of the gutter into one's eyes. On cooler days this product is more beneficial. So far I've not found a product that fully keeps sweat out of my eyes while riding. The search continues.

If you sweat a lot during bike rides and your sunglasses are always covers with sweat drops, this will fix 90% of the problem. I still get the odd drop once in a while specially when I put by head down during a climb. I think this could possibly be fixed if I try to shake my head to get rid of some accumulate sweat before dropping my head. Note to first time users: The first time I used it I had a huge pain around my sinus area, I thought it was allergies, but it ended up that the headband was too tight. Once I loosened, the pain went away.

I’m a cyclist and it doesn’t work for me because of the angle you have your head while cycling. Would be better for a runner

This product works perfectly. I use it on a daily baisis. It also proved to be really effective on long rides. It provided to be highly effective on long rides: during the Boucle Pierre Lavoie a 130 km race in Montreal's South Shore, my face wasn't that bad:) I recommend this product!

以前はSWEAT GUTR スウェットバンド スモークを利用していましたが、無くしてしまい、こちらを購入。 以前使っていたものに比べ締め付けられる感じが少なく、使っていて頭が痛くなるということが減りました。 汗かきで、祭りのときに汗が目に入り、炎症を起こすことがよくあるのですが、以前使ったものと同様、完ぺきではないですが、汗を横に逃がしてくれるためか、炎症にはなりますがひどくはなりませんでした。 坊主にしていることもあり、しっかりとフィットしているのが良いのかもしれません。

La mejor solución para los que sufrimos de excesiva sudoración. Llevo dos salidas con él y por fin mis gafas no han acabado empañadas y llenas de sudor. Además se disimula bastante bien justo debajo del casco.
