Love this head band, great alternative to wearing a hat on windy , milder days. I always cover ears hiking and walking in wind Perfect weight and thickness Much more comfortable than a backlava, which has a lot of material handing from the back

I use my Smartwool Merino headband almost every day hiking here in Alaska—even through the winter! It’s warm without being bulky, looks cute, and I love how small and compact it is. I can easily tuck it into my pocket when I don’t need it. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of hiking gear!

I discovered the Smartwool headband about 6 years ago. I'm in Alaska and I do not like to wear hats and these warm wool headbands are the perfect solution for my ears. I now own about 9 of these in various colors and wear them every single day in the winter. They continue to wash well. I always hang dry them. I get stopped by strangers and asked about my headbands! They definitely allow you to add nice style to your boring outerwear in the winter. I have worn them in the summer at the ocean when it was breezy and sooo glad I brought them along. The only negative is that I find the annual release of new headbands to be inconsistent in thickness and warmth. I have some that are definitely thicker or denser and warmer than others. I have purchased -33 wool headbands, Woolrich, Carhartt, and off-brands. Smartwool is the one I find to be the very best all-around headband for the money, fit, washability, style, and level of warmth.

I think this a great product. My complaint\question is your tag makes the reverse side unusable.
Nick
I have worn it a few times and it's perfect. Not too thick nor thin and keep me warm and allows me to wear my ear buds underneath without discomfort.
Diane

Amy
Perfect headband for a chilly run to keep the ears warm and comfortable. Great colors, lightweight, cute.

Bought for husband. Great fit color and soft. He wears it all winter when we walk hike or bike.
Robert
Nice product that keeps one warm and is not itchy. A bit wide at the front so a tapered option that is wider at the ears and less wide on the forehead might be nice to have.
Rick
I wear this on cold runs in the Midwest United States keeps me warm.

This reversible headband was a gift and the recipient has been using it frequently when outside to keep his ears warm, especially in windy weather. He really likes the colors and that it is so lightweight to bring along in case he needs it. He also looks good wearing it!

Got this for Christmas for my girlfriend for exercising outdoors in winter. She has worn it in around 40 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit and she has commented about how warm, comfortable, and soft it is but she can also still hear. I would recommend. They claim it is reversible but that seems like a stretch as there are tags and seams on one side.

Running in the cold can be a struggle to regulate temperature, this headband is perfect for keeping you warm but not hot. Also wick away sweat well, and after an hour or so of running, flip it inside out for the dry side. I also got one for my wife and she loves that she can easily pull her hair back out of her face.
Sarah
My husband appreciates this headband! He likes the warmth and stretchiness it provides, I like that it's thin and not bulky like his old headband. He's going to use it for shoveling and when he runs in cold weather.
