Sports headband
The peculiarity of the modern lifestyle of a person - the pace of everyday life full of events - makes both young people and people of more mature age pay much attention to maintaining their health through sports. Recreational sports and diverse wellness communities are back in vogue, and with them, sports accessories are in demand.
Peculiarities
Naturally, an amateur and a professional athlete approach the solution of the problem of selecting the most suitable equipment for them in different ways. However, one of the first places among sports accessories in demand by both amateur athletes and professionals is occupied by a very specific headdress.
This accessory, sometimes referred to as an "elastic band" or "headband", is officially known as a "sport headband". Such a bandage is necessary both for sports and for everyday jogging, both for fitness classes and for exercises on the dance floor. It has to be worn by both women and men during physical exertion associated with increased sweating.
To fully comply with its functional purpose, a sports headband should be worn not on the hair, but under it. Otherwise, it will not protect you from sticky bangs or dripping sweat.
Kinds
Today, manufacturers offer various sports headbands: for running, for figure skating, for football, for fitness, for yoga and other sports. Since each sport has its own specifics, the models of these products differ significantly from each other both in terms of design solutions and design.
For example, for running a good choice would be the accessory that can protect you from sweat, from getting hair disheveled in the wind into your eyes, from the likelihood of catching a cold in your ears. Skiers and skiers which, despite frosty and windy weather, regularly go out on the track, a warmed model is more suitable, reliably covering not only the forehead with temples, but also partially the neck: it will perform a protective function and provide a good overview of the distance.
In general, the range of dressings, characterized by functional diversity and richness of models, is determined by user requests. You can easily find special varieties such as tennis, basketball, ski or with a visor, while the most standard model will be your reliable assistant in the gym, during the morning and evening runs.
For a good orientation in the rich assortment of sports head accessories, it should be remembered that this diversity is based on their simple classification based on the following criteria:
- functional purpose (sport);
- time of the year as the period of the most intense activities in the chosen sport;
- gender characteristics of the user (male/female).
Material
When buying a sports headband, do not forget that it is the specifics of the sport that you are involved in that should underlie your decision.First of all, you should pay attention to the material used. His choice is determined by factors that are significant to you.
For the production of sports headbands, the following materials are often used:
- cotton fabric;
- wool;
- nylon;
- polyester;
- new synthetic materials.
Each material has its own strengths and weaknesses, due to its composition, which ultimately determines the appropriateness of using a particular model.
One of the popular materials for making sports headbands is nylon. Such products are in demand among buyers, since nylon has a high degree of elasticity, which is comfortable and convenient. In addition, they are quite affordable.
However, in reality, a nylon bandage will not suit every consumer. The fact is that nylon has a low hygroscopicity and heat capacity, so even thin nylon accessories are not suitable for use in high humidity conditions. They are also ineffective at low temperatures.
In general, modern high-tech synthetic fabrics, undeniably distinguished by durability and ease of care, are quite popular among sportswear consumers. However, in terms of safety for health, they are significantly inferior to natural fabrics.
A variety of materials are now used to decorate sports headbands. These include natural and artificial leather, lycra, beads and many others, which often give products a very original flavor.
How to choose?
With a variety of sports headbands currently on sale to the consumer, it is extremely important to be able to choose the right comfortable and functional accessory. To achieve success, you must follow a number of simple rules.
When choosing a bandage, you should take into account the features of the time of the year with which you have the most intense sports activities. It is quite natural that summer and winter varieties differ significantly from each other in materials and, therefore, have specific properties. Summer dressings are thin, water and breathable. Since their winter counterparts primarily solve the problem of protecting the head from hypothermia, they are much thicker than summer ones and retain accumulated moisture longer.
Very carefully you need to approach the determination of the size of this accessory. Women's sports headbands for training are selected taking into account the length of the head circumference and the width of the product itself. Therefore, for successful sports, first of all, you need not a super fashionable, but a functionally well-chosen headband.
When buying a sports headband, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer: its price varies depending on the brand, but not only the cost of the product guarantees its high quality. Among inexpensive models, you can also choose a completely functional accessory.
