This is the second iteration of this headband I've bought for running and I LOVE it! The material of the lining is soft like microfiber and it sticks like magic to my hair--no other headbands have done this without being excruciatingly tight. I cannot recommend this headband enough!

This headband is amazing!!! I’m walker in upstate NY where it can get very cold. Since wearing this, my ears never feel cold, nor do they get overheated. I highly recommend!!!

The band warms your ears nicely leaving the top of your head to release heat as you build in your run. For me that need is roughly 25 - 40°F outside. Below that temperature I need a full hat, and above that range is baseball hat territory. I like the bright color, as well. It does press on earbuds, almost locking them in place but after an hour or two you can feel them. It also seems to dry well overnight for those times you can't get it in the wash right away.

Love it. I used it today. I live in TX; do not cold- but it was windy and this protected my ears and head perfectly.

Very comfy and snug. I’m a woman with not big head and very long hair. Kept me warm at 30F. For lower temperatures, I have the same style beanie which is definitely more roomy and is bigger in size. Also recommend !

I LOVE Brooks and really needed to upgrade my running headband for the winter. Thought I would give the Notch a try and was not disappointed! Perfect for chilly and even COLD (wore it at 28 degrees) days. Sleek at fits so well! Highly recommend!

When I ordered the headband I figured it was more of an ear covering. I was incorrect, when it was below 0 wind chill I was surprised that it kept me warm. Nice addition to the winter wear.

I have one of these from when I ran XC & track in high school and it’s still in absolutely perfect condition. I attended my 10 year reunion this year. This new one is a big larger than that one, but I haven’t washed it yet. I’m a girl with a big head and it fits me perfectly snug and keeps me warm.

This fits comfortably and I look forward to using it for the next winter.

I had an older model of this, and was pretty sad when I lost it. This model is softer and warmer than its predecessor. I don't like beanies unless it's really cold (teens or 20-ish degrees), and the headband keeps my ears warm on those chilly morning runs.

Great headband. Keeps my ears warm, my AirPods in, and lets me dump heat off the top. Would buy more if there were other color choices I liked.

Great reflective headband. Very light weight but also does a great job of keeping your ears nice and warm.
I find this has kept my pitiable ears comfortably warm. The caveat is that I’ve not run below 45°-50°F (or 7°-10° C) and I avoid high-wind days. Conversely, my ears can feel cold-induced pain as high as 60° (15°) and I run on a river where winds seem more chilled. I appreciate that I can wear this under a ball cap or other hat. I also enjoy the flexibility in putting my ponytail above or below the band. If I took away any points, it would be for messing with my ear buds. I wear over-ear Bluetooth buds and the sound is very muffled and patchy. I assume compression is the culprit. It seems unreasonable to expect an ear warmer to accommodate headphones, though, so I can’t give a demerit.

I really love this headband. It's all about the ears! Other headbands I've owned put pressure on my wireless earbuds, causing headaches. This headband is very roomy over the ears, but stays firmly in place at the same time. It is also big enough top to bottom to cover the whole ear - no more needing to choose between keeping the tips of my ear or the bottom of my earlobes warm. It is very very comfortable.

Stays in place. Keeps my ears warm. The band itself is a little wider at the back of my head than need be but my hair covers it up. Love the bright green color.
