Sun and sweat protection
Great sweat and sun protection. The yellow strip works great unless you sweat a lot. Light weight and reasonably comfy.

It's good. Head position matters a lot. Good for short hair/bald people.
I feel super weird talking about my sweat this much. Like... for real.I keep my hair super short. Like, under 1/2 inch all the time. I've been using simple wicking skull caps for a while. And after a point they just got too saturated and would just dump sweat during long rides or really really hot days. This is much better. It doesn't work as well as I sorta expected, but it does work better than just a regular wicking cap.Your head position matters a lot with this and how it functions. On long slogs through the trails I get into long spells where I'm just spinning and my head is more downard. When the cap is saturated you can really feel the movement of the sweat build up under it if you're moving your head position from up to down often. I mean REALLY feel it. But that's not a bad thing. It's weird the first few times but you get used to it. When it does that I keep my head up or tilt it to one side or the other to encourage the sweat to roll off one side or the other.When the cap is that saturated I normally take my helmet off and "dab" it with my undershirt or jersey. It pulls the sweat off the cap into clothing that doesn't get sweat saturated while I ride, and it'll dry fast. This increases the "life" per ride a significant amount. I wear it above my ears, so the mesh up top is a little loose, but it does a good job of pulling sweat out of the band and up to evaporate.It does leave a mark in my head like others have mentioned. But like... I really could care less about that. A regular wicking cap will leave a small line, and yeah this is more noticeable, but it honestly has helped with keeping sweat out of my brow and eyes and you're gonna look like a mess anyways after a ride that would necessitate the use of this over a regular skull cap.If you sweat a lot or like to ride on real hot days, this is for sure better than a regular wicking cap. It takes some getting used to, and there are some quirks, but I'd for sure take this over a regular cap on long or hot rides.

Great Skull Cap But Does Run Very Small And Tight
I have a few Halo Skull Caps and am pleased with the quality - I'm especially glad I ordered this one white. A s a person who is incredibly heat intolerant and sweats outside during the dog days of summer like a monsoon this particular cap made sense on multiple levels.* SPF factor of 30* Micro Mesh breathes and allows for evaporation and natural cooling* Sweat Diverter is patented by Halo and keeps perspiration out of your eyesI'm not quite sure if I prefer the older sweat band, I do know I prefer the Halo Protex Skull cap because it's larger and has ties which I like. These caps run very, very tight. But they're so light and airy you're used to the ultra snug fit in no time.As for the "sweat diverter" it might take some getting used to, but the rubber is extremely soft - however it still leaves a red mark on your forehead which takes a bit of time to disappear.Perfect for under a helmet, a bike ride, or hanging out on a hot day these really do perform as promised. They're made in the USA and the finishing and stitch quality are superb. They may cost more than others but those issues stated above make them worthwhile for me to pay a little more.The only complaint I have is once again the small size. I'm a head shaver and this model is snug as in second skin snug, I'm not sure how guys with hair would be able to wear these in complete comfort. That said due to their popularity it appears to be no problem whatsoever.Halo products are made from their Patented "DRYLINE" materials which in addition toantimicrobial and odor elimination properties is made of 63% Nylon 23% Polyester and 14% Lycra.Remember to only hand wash or machine wash on cool settings and never use the dryer, always air dry.

Solved my... burning problem during my scuba dive trips!
I'm an adult male and the hair up top has almost.. disappeared! I'm not big on hair and I'll never consider even for a moment hair replacement or wigs (God forbid !) I prefer the clean 'Captain Jean Luke Picard' look (for the Trekkies out there!) so for many years now I get very short crew cuts. Under the hot bright sun if my head is hat less, it soon burns and looks close to a ripe tomato! The pain and discomfort is part of the whole deal of course, as you must have imagined. Did I mention already that I don't like sun screens either?.. I can't stand this oily feel on my skin, esp. on my face let alone that recent research claims that these products do more damage than the sun alone, as far as skin cancer is concerned. I scuba dive. I've lost on the dive boat my share of baseball hats due to the wind, they fell into the sea and bye bye hat. So I tend to be hat less on the dive boat under the hot bright Caribbean sun. Add hours of snorkeling too in the equation and my head is burning literally by the second day of my dive vacation and looks like a piece of hot lava! Other divers commend that I must seek medical treatment for 3rd degree burns! All this until one day I saw another fellow diver on the boat wearing a similar skull hat and gave me the idea to try it. Why I haven't thought of that before beats me... After some research and reviews reading on Amazon I purchased a couple of skull hats, among them this one. No matter how silly it may sound, I must tell you that this is one of my best buys ever. Head burning problem during my dive trips these days is a thing of the past. The hat offers excellent protection from the UV rays, no more pain or discomfort. It is a very comfortable and tight enough fit above and under water. After my dive day I rinse it with fresh water, it dries overnight and is ready for service the next day. I've brought this very hat to two dive weekly trips, used it daily and looks like new.

The Halo Skull Cap Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin

Works Well
Fits well and and well made. The rubber strip helps with sweat but if really hot, you will still get some in your eyes.

Buen producto. Debería ser más barato
La tira antisudor interna, debería de ser más ancha para distribuir más la presión contra la piel de la frente. Te queda marcada horas después del uso.Definitivamente evita que el sudor escurra hacia abajo, cejas, párpados, etc.

Bueno bonito y cariñoso
La calidad es bastante buena pero con el uso va perdiendo la compresión de lo elástico

A novel idea but the yellow “Halo” silicone strip really ...
A novel idea but the yellow “Halo” silicone strip really digs into your forehead and leaves an imprint that lasts hours. I’d turn it around but then there is a tag and a seam that would do the same. I tried removing the strip but it the adhesive is too strong.
