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

Works as advertised, gutters your sweat away from your face.I use it during runs and have sweat dripping into my eyes any more. Can leave red marks on forehead, but they disappear fast.

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 SWEATBAND1. 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 SWEATBAND1. 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 2018According 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.CONCLUSIONThe 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.

I am a world class, heavyweight sweater. I literally lose lbs of sweat if I'm out working in the heat. Did the Gutr keep sweat entirely out of my eyes? No, but better then other products I've tried, and I try everything.

If you’re a heavy sweater like me, this will just channel the sweat away from your eyes and into your ears. Not a good feeling. The channel should really extend further back to prevent this. Otherwise, a sturdy and well-designed product.

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.

Good in concept, but not able to transport enough sweat to justify the expense. For road biking, it works OK since there is always a breeze from pedaling. However, for hiking and mountain biking, I find that it fills up with sweat and then dumps it all at once onto my glasses. To help that a little, I learned that putting on askew (tilted) to one side helps with the drainage but then I have a constant trickle of sweat running down the side of my face. Headsweats / sweatvac style do-rags work better for me under helmets. Those increase the evaporation rate so much that dripping sweat is reduced rather than redirected. I have not figured out how to use both devices together without getting a headache due to the tightness of the GUTR needed to prevent sweat from getting under it when I'm using a do-rag.

This has been a game changer for me. In the past, I used to finish my bike rides with red eyes because of the sweat that run down from my head. During the ride I often had sweat dripping into my sunglasses and the whole thing was a mess. This headband is very minimalist and it completely keeps sweat away from my eyes. At first I was a bit skeptical thinking the sweat would somehow leak behind the band and still get to my eyes, but the rubber material of the front side of the headband seals nicely with my forehead forcing the sweat to flow into the gutter and slide away from my side.Highly recommend!

They actually do work; As a Longshoreman & working in extreme weathers that this comes very handy when ever I’m working inside any sheds or underground tunnels that are super hot & by wearing so much clothing & gear that I tend to swear more so than my Forman that isn’t carrying anything; No more sweat getting into my eyes while both of my hands are always too dirty or holding onto tools to wipe the sweats off of my eyes; Thank you team Amazon

Bought to help keep sweat away from my glasses when out running. Didn't make a difference at all except give me a red line across my forehead. Don't waste your time or money

Excelente!!! Tienes que encontrar el balance para la medida de tu cabeza, una vez que lo haces el escurrimiento se elimina en un 90% al menos para tus ojos y cara. Otros comentarios dicen que la banda o canal estas seco, pero la intención de esta banda es únicamente desviar el sudor de tu frente o casco hacia los lados y lo hace muy bien.

Assez efficace mais pas assez confortable, la bande est trop fine et du coup on a un peu l'impression d'avoir la tête trop serrée malgré un serrage modeste

very comfortable and unlike before when I sweat too much it runs through my eyes but wearing this helps a lot to filter the sweating and it flows down on both sides with the help of a little canal :)
