Running Gadget Review

Have you been irritated by sweats getting into your eyes while running and wish that this problem is not there and you can just concentrate on your run?

This may be the answer to your problem. I have tried using an Adidas "Tennis" headband (about S$11). It's quite tight but does not prevent the sweat from getting into my eyes while runnings.

Then I found this "Running" headband at The Running Labs. The brand is Halo. It sort of "sucks" out the sweats from your skin and let the sweats flow on the out-side of the band and towards the rear of your head behind the ears. In the front of the headband near the forehead, there a a yellow color band (felt like rubber kind of material) that prevent the sweat from dripping into your eyes.

I have used this during my training runs and have ran a full marathon with it. It works great. So I can concentrate on my run instead of having to keep sweeping my forehead and eyes with my hands to clear up the sweats like I did in the past.

Highly recommended. But it is quite expensive though. Sorry, forgotten the price... it's either S$19 or S$26. Very expensive for just a piece of "cloth" but it works great to prevent sweats from getting into your eyes.
