Product Review: GUTR Ultimate Sweatband
The first time I saw the Sweat GUTR Headband I thought it was a great idea, a gutter for your head. My self conscientiousness keep me from buying one… I felt I would look dorky at the gym or on the trail wearing it. I had the chance to try one out so here we go…
GUTR Sweatband
When I felt the headband I was surprised at how soft the PVC material is. It is super flexible and light weight, the side that is against your head is very smooth and if fitted properly will not leave any marks on your head after it is removed. It works by channeling the sweat away from your eyes to the sides of your face via the channel in the gutter. Fitting was easy, the sweatband comes with three elastic bands for sizing and velcro for fine fit adjustments. You want a snug fit, not tight, just enough not to move.
I used it on a couple 5 mile hikes in 90 degree plus weather and humid, this summer in New England was been brutal. It really works I don’t care if I look like a dork… No more burning eyes, no more trying to find a dry spot of shirt to wipe my eyes. Awesome! I have tried hats, bandannas, cloth headbands, they all make me feel hotter and I end up just taking them off… Not once have I felt like I needed to remove the GUTR. It is a great feeling to have sweat pouring down the sides of your face but not in your eyes. No matter how filthy it gets a simple wash in soap in water cleans it right up.
If you are a sweater like me I highly recommend the Sweat GUTR Headband, Husky Hiker seal of approval!
Even if you hate it Sweat GUTR will let you return it for a full refund as long as you let them know why… so don’t sweat it…

You’re supposed to wear them so they’re 1/4″ above your eyebrows… dunno about most people, but I sweat a lot right along that space right below where the GUTR goes (yes, I own one and have used it several times). The other factor that nullifies it is when I wear my sunglasses as they touch my skin right along that same ridge and I’ve got sweat dripping everywhere. So I guess when I run in the mornings before the sun is up, the GUTR would work better than on the long runs on weekends when I need my shades.
