Halo Air II Pullover Headband
Light, breathable and made for riders who sweat.
If you tend to get sweat running into your eyes or all over your glasses when you're riding, the Halo Air II is designed to help. Halo's patented SweatSeal sits across your forehead and channels sweat towards the sides of your face rather than simply relying on the fabric to soak it up.
The Air version uses lightweight micro-mesh fabric that breathes well and dries quickly, making it a good choice for hot-weather riding, hard efforts and indoor training. Halo's Grip Technology helps keep the headband in place and its low-profile design sits neatly under most cycling helmets, although you should still check that your helmet remains level and securely fitted once the headband is in place.

Air for Hot-Weather Riding and Indoor Training
The lighter micro-mesh fabric is the main reason we'd choose the Air II over Halo's standard headbands. It breathes well and dries quickly, which is particularly useful on hot summer rides or when you're working hard on the indoor trainer without the airflow you'd normally get outside.
You still get Halo's SweatSeal, so you're not giving up the feature that makes these headbands work so well for riders who sweat heavily.
Fit and Care
The Air II has a one-size pullover fit and is approximately 2 inches wide across the forehead before tapering towards the back for better clearance around your ears.
Hand wash or machine wash cold and hang to dry.
Our Thoughts
Some riders hardly seem to sweat. Others only need to look at a hill before their glasses are covered in it.
If that's you, the Air II is a really useful bit of kit. We'd choose it for summer riding and indoor training because it's light, doesn't add much bulk underneath your helmet and dries quickly.
The SweatSeal is the clever part. Rather than just soaking up sweat until the headband is saturated, it helps direct it away from your eyes. Simple idea, but it works.
