Sweatband

This is my fourth GUTR and it is the perfect solution for running while wearing glasses. Fourth GUTR but first with the elasticated strap at the back rather than the elastic bands as pictured. There is a point of weakness and my previous GUTRs have all broken around the aperture for the arm of the glasses. I have a feeling this new elasticated fitting will mean that this one lasts longer. There is less tension on the strap and I can adjust it more easily so it should stretch so much when putting it on or taking it off. With permanent double vision, I can't run without glasses and the GUTR holds them firmly in place. I sweat a lot and the GUTR works well to direct that sweat away from my eyes. I have a fair bit of running gear, but the one piece that I cannot live without is the GUTR.

Made from soft rubber/plastic - extremely comfortable - adjustable to the Nth degree - channels the perspiration to the side of the head stopping it dripping into my eyes - easy to clean (I use washing up liquid). Would recommend to any runner, except those who glow elegantly, rather than those like me who sweat buckets!

We're in the middle of a heatwave in the UK and my eyes always sting from sweat dripping into my eyes whilst mountain biking so I thought this would be a good idea. It works and sweat does gutter along and then drip down to the side of my eyes. I wear a helmet with sunglasses too so this product does not impede either of those with the gutter sitting just beneath the helmet. When I get home and take it off I do have an imprint on my skin where the Gutr sat. It would look a bit odd in the pub during a mid ride break but lets be honest if you're clad in lycra then you're more concerned about functionality than appearance. I may have it too tight but I've just it for about five rides now and haven't bothered to loosen it off. It's well made and I know there's cheaper similar products out there but the assembly quality of this is good and I suspect much better than the cheap replicas, the stitching and the strapping system are areas where companies could cut corners, so that is where the extra money is going here. Of course it doesn't get drenched like most headbands and helmet pads so you don't have to stop to squeeze it out, or take an extra dry headband as some people do. Overall pretty please with it. It may perhaps be too constricting for some but experiment with the tension. I think the very small discomfort of having something else close to your body is offset by the blinding and stinging sweat continuously dripping into my eyes. I'll continue to wear it for this reason.

The most effecitve device for doing what it does: keeping sweat out of one's eyes. Neither cheap, nor easy to obtain, however, which is perplexing.

I tried this out on two rides, both in warmish conditions. Being a heavy sweater I really hoped this would work better than a headband. But unfortunately it does not seem to work for cycling. I got lots of sweat still coming down onto my glasses and could not see clearly. Am returning the item as it does not do what it is meant to do unfortunately.

No problem with supplier. Quick delivery and easy to order through Amazon. Pleasant and courtious communications too. The SweatGUTR works reasonably well and directs sweat from the top of the head and forehead away from the eyes. However, due to where it is worn some sweat which forms below eyebrow level still drips into your eyes and causes a problem although this is much reduced by the headband. If during sport you sweat excessively then this may not be the cure you seek in preventing sweat in your eyes but it can reduce it to some extent. I suppose if used with a ruff or bandana it may be more effective. I haven't tried this combination yet to see if it is effective. Product quality is good and is confortable to wear. Its thin and unobtrusive too. The only other down side is the relatively high cost for something which wasn't really that effective for me.

main problem when I play whatever sport : is the sweat go to my eyes & it hurt the headband remove 90% of sweat it's really great product

Thanks i work lifting heavy items and when its hot and the sweat starts running into your eyes there is nothing worse. wore this the first day it arived and never had that problem since. fantastic item but yet so simple .

I’m a cyclist and it doesn’t work for me because of the angle you have your head while cycling. Would be better for a runner

This product works perfectly. I use it on a daily baisis. It also proved to be really effective on long rides. It provided to be highly effective on long rides: during the Boucle Pierre Lavoie a 130 km race in Montreal's South Shore, my face wasn't that bad:) I recommend this product!

La mejor solución para los que sufrimos de excesiva sudoración. Llevo dos salidas con él y por fin mis gafas no han acabado empañadas y llenas de sudor. Además se disimula bastante bien justo debajo del casco.

als ich den Artikel bekam, fand ich, das ist unbedingt eine gebrauchte Sache, nicht neu.Das ist wirklich sehr böse. das ist sinnlos

I have tried several other methods of trying to keep the sweat out of my eyes while road cycling; this one is the best. All the others saturate and eventually drip onto my glasses or into my eyes. I ride a lot, live in the SE US where it is hot and humid so it some time seems like it's raining off of me. You will need to adjust the tightness and placement on your head to avoid a headache or lack of a seal against your skin. There are three bands to choose from and adjustment with Velcro loops that make enough room for even my XL head. I have found that if it gets uncomfortable I can move it up or down on my forehead while moving and find a comfortable position. It channels the sweat to the side of your face very well and my glasses stay generally dry now. It should work in any activity where you keep your head up so that gravity can do it's work.
