Collection: Activities - Trail Running - Headbands

Your go-to accessory for chilly starts and a clear view

Trail running headbands can provide warmth or help keep your hair and sweat in check, depending on the design. The key is determining what you need for your run. A wide, warm headband is better suited for a cold morning than a thin one during intense exertion. So be sure to consider the material and coverage in relation to the expected conditions.

Choose running headbands based on width and comfort

The headband should fit comfortably without digging in or slipping during movement. Check whether it covers your ears the way you want. Seams and edges can feel different depending on their position. You should also consider how it works with eyeglass temples or a headlamp. A material name alone doesn’t fully describe either the warmth or how it performs in humid conditions.

• Coverage: Choose the width and shape based on your warmth needs and preferences.
• Fit: Test how well it stays in place while running and when turning your head.
• Compatibility: Check the points where it comes into contact with other parts of your headgear.
• Care: Follow the material care instructions and let the headband dry after use.

Takes up little space, carefully chosen use

A headband usually takes up very little space, but it should be within easy reach if you plan to put it on during a later stage of your run. Plan for a compartment in your running vest for this purpose. If you’re starting your run in the dark, test the fit along with your headlamp. Explore different headbands and choose a style that suits your running conditions and your personal perception of temperature.
