Smartwool Thermal Merino Colorblock Headband

BEST KEPT SECRET

REVIEWED BY: Devon Scovill

Let me let you in on a little secret. My favorite piece of gear is my headband. Crazy I know but just stay with me. Once I cut my hair short I thought it would be a breeze to just tuck it all in my helmet and call it a day. Boy was I wrong — hair everywhere. Then I made the absolutely great and not at all reckless decision to get bangs. Big mistake, huge. Nevertheless, I persisted and could not let my hair get in the way of a good ski day. Enter the Smartwool Thermal Merino Colorblock Headband. Thank god for headbands really. Instead of uncomfy clips or constant hair in my face (I'm all for slut strands but trust me this was not it), my hair was pulled back and neatly tucked away. This headband has cleanly finished seams for a bulk-free fit, which helps prevent helmet aches throughout the day. It is also made from 100% Merino wool fabric with an interlocking knit for enhanced comfort, breathability, thermoregulation, and odor resistance. The sneaky way to a perfect day.
