Endura Headband

endura headband
Headbands are great if you don't want, or need, full head coverage. They're certainly worth the investment if you value your ears in these chilly conditions. Endura's Headband offers the perfect solution for keeping your ears warm.

For a start, it's made from Thermolite material which has a lovely soft fleecy inside, and with great sweat wicking properties it doesn't get at all messy underneath. It dries quickly which is handy if, like us, you use it everyday. The material is thin enough that it'll sit completely unnoticed beneath your helmet. The cut and shape is just right, with lower sides to drop down and cover the ears, and the material has quite a bit of stretchiness so will easily suit a range of head sizes.

Verdict

There's not much you can say about headbands. The Endura offering is great for keeping ears warm, and the perfect accompaniment to a chilly day. In fact we don't leave the house without ours and it's been keeping our ears suitably warm these past couple of weeks. It's even coped well with some extremely cold weather. Comfortable, breathable and dries quickly if you use it everyday.


good Comfortable, wicks sweat, keeps ears warm

bad Not as much protection as a full hat
