Sweat Bands

I know they were popular in the 80s but, does anyone use them?! I find that when I do my Body Pump class, my arm and hairline are getting a bit moist (sorry, couldn't think of a better way of saying it lol).

Are they worth using? I just don't want to look like an 80s throw back! The 80s were painful enough as a kid let alone trying to recreat them lol

    I'm with you on this. Can't see myself in neon colours but I'd wear wrist sweatbands.
    I feel an eBay purchase coming on.
    Think I'd give a headband a miss, not a good look on a baldie :)

    You can buy double width wrist sweatbands too.

    I have been thinking about using a sweatband, but then only one on my wrist (that way you can still wipe the sweat of your face without looking like an idiot :)

    I wear a wrist sweat band, I sweat a lot sometimes and I always enjoy representing my favorite company!

    I use a wrist sweat band, it's great as I don't have to stop to grab a towel just a quick wipe then away I go. I was thinking of getting a wide material headband more for my stupid fly always that seem to always find my eyes.

    I wear a sweatband around my head simply to keep my hair out of my face - it isn't quite long enough to tie back yet see.

    Regarding sweat wristbands, I can't use those, they make me feel hotter than I normally would.

    Lol yes! I wear them! Particulaly the head band :D recently less as I'm sweating less but might be cos of the colder weather, but love my sweat bands and I was only born in the 80's!... rock it with pride lol

    I usually wear arm ones too to wipe away and nose stuff that builds up on long runs :S

    I wear one around my head. I sweat badly when I workout. When I tried on around my forehead, I was shocked at the difference of how many times I had to stop and wipe my face. I workout privately so being an 80's throwback doesn't bother me. lol!
