This headband works great for cold weather and winter bike riding along with the "THERMAL MERINO REVERSIBLE CUFFED BEANIE" or "Creek Run Beanie" and the "THERMAL MERINO BALACLAVA", I use all three when riding , and when it gets really cold and windy I put the "Seirus NeoFleece Combo Scarf" on too :-) That usually happens when the wind is over 12-15 mph and chill temp is around zero (with the temp/wind taken into account). I ride 10 miles almost daily in the winter so I've had lots of practice finding what works.. Yes..I have studded snow tires on my bike. I also have on clear safety glasses or my "POC" ski goggles for the wind cold/wind too. It's almost always windy in Northern Idaho :-)

Too many tags! All irritating the neck. One would also like a photo of someone wearing it, in the item details, so as to figure out where on earth all the different widths are supposed to go as it wraps around the head. And a less ugly red. Smartwool used to do such great colors.

I love this product for the windy mountain days. I can get really bad headaches and this definitely helps. On a cold day, I also layer with an extra thermal merino smartwool headband.

The headband is great in outdoor activities. I've also found that it blocks out extra noise and serves as a great eye cover when I sleep. #sweepstakes

Have worn the headband now while cross country skiing and it is perfect to block the wind. The wide band, while it may not be stylish, is very effective at preventing wind burn or frost bite on earlobes. I prefer to have proper coverage while skiing over looking fashionable.

I use it for my winter cycle commute. Dropped a star because it is hard to hear through the headband.

Used for the first time today. Soft and super comfortable. Stayed in place on my big head/curly hair, kept ears warm yet functional so I could speak with and hear my exercise class clients.

I purchased this for winter cycling in NW Montana two years ago as wearing a hat or hood under my helmet becomes too hot, even in subzero temperatures. This headband works beautifully to keep my ears and forehead warm and protected from the wind, without overheating the rest of my head. When out walking/hiking, I push it up onto my head and over my ears. I use it in subzero to 35ºF weather. It hasn't shown any wear and still performs very well.
