Back in March I reviewed the Sweat Gutr I bought while at Texas Hellweek. Since then they’ve improved them slightly and they sent 2 of them to me to use for RAAM. I’ve been able to test them on long climbs here to get a good comparison to the head bands I’ve used in the past. In Texas it was warm but there weren’t any long climbs. Here I’ve done some of our 2 hour climbs and they still work great! Occasionally I’ll get a couple drops of sweat on my glasses but I think it’s actually dripping off my helmet.

The new ones have a slot on the sides over the ears. One of the reasons for them is to make them more comfortable if your helmet pushes them down onto your ears. I’ve never had that problem so it never was an issue for me with the one I got in Texas. The other reason is it allows it to bend some to better fit your head. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in fit with the new ones. One of the things I said in my original review was that it was hard to get off the packaging. They’ve also improved the way they package them and I was able to get the new ones out without using scissors or a knife.

They are trying to help me for RAAM and RAAM will give me a portion of the sales that I refer. They don’t have an automated way to track my referrals so for me to get credit, you’ll need to send me your e-mail address after you make a purchase through the Sweat Gutr website. They are by far the best head bands I have ever used.
