Title: Sweatbands
Post by: alexevo94 on July 01, 2019, 05:23:11 PM: I’ve noticed a lot of lads from other teams wearing this sweatbands but there with straps. But I don’t know what there called, hopefully someone can help us out. I’ve attached a link which hopefully helps.

Post by: jonny77 on July 01, 2019, 08:45:25 PM: I think he means he's fashioned it himself. Looks like it could be a part of an arm guard under some tubagrip bandage even. Old thread on it here....

Rolling back the years now where I used Poron (before everyone jumped on the XRD bandwagon) they did a decent job though as a hybrid forearm/sweatband accessory and the pros seemed to like them (my mum less so having had her do the sewing!).

I’ll check as I may have some sheets around from when doing R&D into the helmets.

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 02, 2019, 06:52:25 AM: Yeah, I’ve prob got some of that as well as we considered it when looking into the military market liner too. I’ll have a hunt around in the depths of my R&D materials boxes.
