Whenever Ido and I go on a hike, the very first thing I pack in my trail bag is a headband. Yup - a headband. I really started to embrace this when Ido and I traveled to Jordan, Petra, and the deserts of Wadi Rum in the summer (yes, the summer) of 2022. We were sweating buckets all day long in 110-degree heat, not a cloud in the sky, and I was hiding under a black wide-brimmed hat. And, because my current haircut has bangs ... well, a hat is the kiss of death for bangs. And I resigned myself to having bad hair in every picture of our trip. As an afterthought, just to keep my hair out of the way, I swept my hair back with a headband and put my hat over it. To my surprise, when I took pictures along the trail - the pictures turned out great! My bangs were hidden under the headband, and the pretty pattern of the fabric hid the sweat and framed my trail-wild hair. So now, I never travel without one. Doesn’t matter how smelly, sweaty, or exhausted I am - or how bad my hat hair gets, or how weird my bangs get under that sweaty sunhat - my magical trail headband always saves the day (and my pictures!) (And yes, I now have a drawer of 13 of them - soon to be 14 after I buy this one, too - !) ... And, in case it helps, here's some of the manufacturer's details of the physical product itself :) • Fabric composition: 82% polyester, 18% spandex • Fabric weight (may vary by 5%): 6.78 oz/yd² (230g/m²) • Moisture-wicking • One size fits all • Blank product components sourced from China This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.
