I sweat plenty when I work out, especially on my forehead. I always had to carry a towel with me and I didn't like that I had to interrupt my workout to wipe my brow. It was also not too hygienic to drape the sweaty towel over the machine. The Halo headband does a wonderful job of catching the sweat before it rolls down into your eyes. No more towels required! The Halo also looks great compared to those terrycloth bands that we all wore in the 80's. They come in several different colors to suit your needs and match your workout ensemble. Highly recommended.
