Black Friday Running headbands
Sweat running into your eyes or frozen ears at the start of a winter outing: a good headband solves both problems with very little bulk.
This Black Friday selection includes thin headbands for summer as well as warmer models for chilly mornings.
Why a headband has its place in your runner's outfit
A headband is primarily used to keep your forehead dry and your hair in place, and it also protects your ears when the temperature drops. It fits into a pocket, is easily washable, and can be worn both during training and racing. It's a simple piece, ideal for completing an outfit without adding to your bag.
Brands featured on the headbands page
Craft, La Sportiva, and Odlo are the most represented brands in this selection. Craft and Odlo are known for their endurance sports clothing, while La Sportiva is known for mountain and trail gear. The Brand filter on the page allows you to display just one of them.
How to choose a headband by season
For summer, opt for a fine, breathable mesh that wicks away sweat. For winter, look for a thicker model with soft fabric that covers your ears well. Also check the width: a wider headband offers more protection, while a narrower one is barely noticeable. Finally, the head size matters: a model that's too tight can be uncomfortable on a long run.
The headband suits both casual runners and regular practitioners: it needs no adjustment, can be carried anywhere, and changes its role depending on the weather, from a simple hairband to ear protection on chilly mornings.
What to pair with headbands in the selection
A headband goes well with a pair of gloves or a watch, two items to grab before heading out for a run in cooler weather.
- Trail poles: for uphill, with headbands.
- Gloves: to stay warm, with headbands.
- GPS watches: for data, with headbands.
- Hydration packs: to drink, with headbands.
In terms of care, a technical headband can be washed by hand or in the machine on a low temperature and dries in a few hours. Consider having two models to rotate if you run several times a week: one dries while the other is in use, so you always have a clean, fresh fabric on your forehead.
