Gore Bike Wear

Universal SO Headband

At some points throughout the year, we can't help but think that Jack Frost has it in for us. And in the crushing, deep parts of winter, we honestly get agitated with his constant biting of our ears. Thankfully, we have a secret weapon against these assaults -- the Gore Bike Wear Universal SO Headband.

To protect your ears from frostbite, Gore included its patented WindStopper membrane with the Universal headband. Not surprisingly, this material does what its name says -- it stops wind. Now, we know that plenty of companies lay claims to being windproof, but no one shares the same pedigree as Gore. From the illustrious Gore-Tex to various iterations of WindStopper, Gore has proven that it's capable of dealing in absolutes. And frankly speaking, Gore has earned our trust.

Not only does the headband shut out the harmful effects of the wind, but it's also highly breathable and water-resistant. The design of the fabric allows body heat to escape, while retaining just enough to provide a consistent level of thermo-regulation.

For the design of the cut, Gore incorporated a thick band over the head that drops down to cover the ears. To keep the band in place, it features an elastic binding along the edges and an extra bit of elastic at the rear. And to make sure that abrasion is a non-issue, Gore also used flatlock seams throughout the headband.

The Gore Bike Wear Universal SO Headband is available as a one-size-fits-most in the colors Black and Neon Yellow.
