Halo Headband Solar Sun-Protective Skull Cap and Tail

Meets expectations, very efficient sun protection in sensitive aereas( neck) and uniq sweat direction system.

Best thing I bought before my first Spartan races. I wore this in Temecula, and couldn't be happier with how it kept my (bald) head and neck shaded, plus kept me cool as well. The material wicks well, wasn't a hindrance at all in the water/mud (Temecula is a relatively dry race, only went under the water twice), and it cleaned up nice. I'll be wearing this in the Vegas Super next month! I was able to put my Spartan band (with my race number) over the black part of the headband, and it fit well, wasn't too tight or too hot at all, and the wicking band in the front actually did keep sweat out of my face during the first race. My second race was on a rainy, cold day, but I wore this that day as well, and it acted as a rain/wind guard and kept my head warmer as well. Highly, highly recommend if you need something to shade your head yet keep you cool as well. I'd buy another one if they had some other colors (Halo does have other colors for the caps, but I only found white for this one with the neck shade).

I have had this for over 5 years now and I love it. I use it for my runs, the reason why I got it was because my head gets too hot in the sun and I wanted something to put on my head when i go for walks. This was a great purchase. I think I am going to get a few more in other colors.

I bought this for my husband, who works construction in the Arizona desert. I am concerned about the constant sunburns on the back of his neck. This skull cap fits his head well and does not slip off during the work day. It also keeps the sweat from dripping into his eyes. It fits easily under a hard hat. It also allows sweat to evaporate allowing cooling. My only critiscm is I wish the tale were a bit longer. It does mostly cover the back of his neck, but is about an inch or two too short to completely cover the area above the shirt collar when leaning over

Ordered this with the anticipation that perhaps it wouldn't work for me and I'd end up returning it. But it works great - better than I expected so definitely keeping it. I like that it is super light weight and covers my head and serves as both some sun protection and, best of all, absorbs/wicks sweat and keeps it out of my face. Sometimes wear it when hiking in the mountains and the flap/tail keep sun off my neck and keeps mosquitos, flies and gnats from trying to get into my ears. Might give this a try when playing basketball outdoors on a sunny day sometime as well. I also really like the stark white color with the contrasting front black headband area. Looks pretty sharp.

This is a great, light weight comfortable upf head band. The only issue is I bought it for biking and running and when doing both the flaps that are supposed to cover the ears blow up and there is no upf protection of course from the sun. A lot of men get melanoma on the tops of their ears since they usually wear baseball caps and the tops of the ears are not covered. A large enough rubber band was easy to find and kept it down around my neck so I have bought a second one after it. I still highly recommend buying it. Just if your doing some thing, especially biking or running on a windy day, get a large rubber band that is also the right size so it holds it firmly around your neck. I also wear a baseball style cap over it to cover my nose, face. Under Armour has a baseball cap black with UPF protection.

I have a medium head and short hair and unfortunately this thing is so big on me that it's uncomfortable under my helmet. It's the elastic band along the bottom, it's either on top of my ears, which ends up driving my glasses into my scalp/against my ears and makes it hard to put on/take off the polarized shields I wear over my glasses - or it could go behind my ears, but that's uncomfortable too the same way wearing a mask all the time during peak Covid was. I like riding but honestly my bike helmet is already uncomfortable enough, this made it worse. The back cape is also kind of short, as soon as I got some speed it was flying out/up, obviously not covering my neck. It feels like good material and I wanted a quality, made in the USA product. But I ended up with another sort of pull over hood. Kept this anyway, maybe I'll have long hair again sometime and need more space for it.

I hate the sun. I hate being sunburned, the sun just striking my skin makes me sweat, and I survived one type of cancer and have no desire to take a chance with skin cancer. At the same time, I'm a cyclist and occasional runner and so I'm out in the sun a lot. I used to put a handkerchief under my hat to cover my neck and part of my face, but this product works much better! The cap is a one-size-fits-all. I wear 7.25 and the cap is a bit snug. Doesn't help that I've got a bike helmet tightened over it, but I wish it was a little looser. Overall, though, it's a good buy and highly recommend for keeping the sun off your neck and the sides of your face.

This the 4th I’ve bought. I have used it on cycling tours of Cambodia, three in Vietnam and another in Thailand. I also use i when I commute from work, especially when it’s extreme heat. You can soak it in cold water, wring it out, and it will keep you head and brain cool. Eventually, the rubber sweat channel comes adrift from the material. I’ve just applied some thin superglue to one, to increase its lifespan. For me, the sweat channel is mandatory. I took two of these on my recent 2000km tour of Vietnam; they were essential kit in the hot humid sun. These caps prevent neck and ear sunburn, keep the sweat out of your eyes, and as I mentioned, cool your head when soaked. I currently have three of them—that’s how important they are to me. Warning - wash by hand only.

This is the best head wear I have ever bought and I have tons of beanies, skull caps, hats, etc... for out door activities as I am balding and active. This beanie/neck cover is absolutely amazing as it keeps the sweat out of my eyes which is a huge issue for me since balding due to me being a heat pump and an expert at sweating. The rubber strip inside keeps the sweat on the material which wicks it away very quickly while drying just as fast. I like the fact that it also has a neck cover as I don't like to use sunscreen on my neck and ears while this provides perfect protection from the sun for those spots and my balding head. Some people say they feel weird looking like Laurence of Arabia in this thing, but I think it looks good. Also, something I didn't consider when buying it is that it absolutely rocks for virtual reality. I have a game called BoxVR which is a workout game and I sweat so badly that even my other expensive sweat wicking skull cap with a band gets so drenched that sweat gets into my eyes and in the headset when I workout in it. This does noot happen with this product because of the specific design. So, if you have sweat problems in VR this is also the best product for dealing with that problem. All in all it is more than worth the price compared to all the cheaper alternatives and I would rather once of these than a bunch of other ones for cheaper because nothing does what this does as well as it does! 100% worth the price. I will probably buy another one shortly.

En lo personal sudo muchísimo y esta banda me ayudo a la perfección. Cubre de una manera excelente el sol ennla nuca y orejas, y si la con viñas con tu gorra favorita por encima tendrás cobertura total contra el sol y la sudoración. La tela es muy fresca y suave y fácil de lavar. La medida es universal pero cabe mencionar que soy talla L/XL de gorras NewEra y esta banda me quedo Super cómoda.

Something is seriously wrong with this product design!!! It sinks when falling in the water, instead of floating. I lost it the first time I used it.

Quality is just ok
