Dynafit Performance Dry Headband

Packability It weighs half an ounce and is the size of a tube of lip balm when packed.

Versatility “I was never a headband fan until I tried this one,” says one tester who found it clutch on dozens of ski days in Alaska, British Columbia, and the Rockies. “It’s perfect for spring touring. I wore it under a mesh trucker hat for the ideal combo of sun protection and ear warmth. And it fits perfectly under my helmet.”

Fit The elastane/polyester blend has just the right amount of stretch. “It never bagged out, but it wasn’t headache-causing tight, like some headbands I’ve worn,” a tester says.
