Visors

Postby gnu » Wed Jun 01, 2011 4:22 pm

I am looking for a new visor and am wondering what your favourites are?

Halo? HeadSweats? Something else entirely?

That's very generous of you! Is it "performance" fabric/sweat wicking, or more of a "lifestyle" piece?

Eme, do you have the one of the HeadSweats with the elastic, or the adjustable?

Probably just a lifestyle piece, so maybe just for the beach, but you look very cute in visors so if you want it, I am happy to send...?

I love HeadSweats - their race hats, and both visor options (elastic or velcro). I tend to buy their "clearance" grab bag specials online.

I have two elastic ones - very comfy and stay in place.

Another vote for Headsweats - elastic ones. I think I have about 6 of them - although the Nuun and the TImex ones are getting stretched out!
also, the headsweat hats are my favorite also.

So let me get this straight...if I don't care about colour, I can get one for $10?? Wow! Or I can use the coupon code if I want to pick my own (assuming you can't use a coupon in the clearance section)?

Thanks for pointing that out!

My favorite visor is my Nike LiveStrong one. It has an adjustable headband instead of just elastic like the headsweats. I find the elastic on the headsweats too tight for long periods of time. (Maybe it's just my big head! :lol: )

I wear the Ascics Everday II visor, and really like it.

Switching from a hat to a visor worked great for me- I need something to soak up the sweat- if I don't, it runs into my eyes and stings like crazy- but I don't like the way the hat holds in the heat.

- With the Grab Bag option, you end up getting visors or hats with team logos, event logos, etc. Basically, samples HeadSweats produced to show customers.
- The coupon IS valid on clearance items!!
- If you buy 5 visors from the Grab Bag section, it actually reduces the price to $7.00/each. In fact, I think the price starts to drop once you put more than 2 i nyour cart :dance:
- Shipping to Canada is not great, but is not horrible either. In three orders, I have yet to be nailed with taxes or fees, as HS shipped as samples.

Hope this helps!

I have a headsweats visor, and I sewed an RM patch over the logo that was on it. The elastic is getting stretched out though, so now I have an attractive safety pin on the one side. Maybe I will check out the clearance link :)

Do they come in different sizes?

Cause I got one and it was way too big, I know I have a small head. In fact I have worn my 7 year old duaghters helmet once or twice but really I can't be the only active person with a microsized head.

As far as I know...
The visors with elastic only come in one size.
The visors with the adjustable velcro allow you to size up/down.

My 5 year old son wears the IM Canada flag visor - and he likes the fit. The adjustable band visor (and race hats) fit by 2.5 year old son on the tighest setting. Keeping in mind we all might have big heads, and I just don't know it?!
