Do you know of a headband I can wear for running in warm weather- need it to wick......keep hair off of my face, while hair is in ponytail?

I've been running in it in the cold and it keeps my brow dry enough to prevent ice buildup (which is more than I can say for my neck-gaiter). I have also used it in the gym, which might be a better comparison to warm weather. It wicks sweat off my face just fine, and washes repeatedly without developing pills or other wear-signs, but it is so warm that I would not recommend it for summer running. If you are unfamiliar with the Patagonia R1 fleece, then be warned that it IS fleece. It is fairly lightweight and wicks wonderfully, but it's not a sweatband so much as it is a cold-weather headband. If you're thinking about spring and fall running and live in a cold climate, then this is the best thing I've tried. If you're looking for a summer sweatband, look elsewhere. Update: as to the ponytail question, just had my girlfriend try it on. She says it'd work fine to keep your hair off of your face. Order a size down if that's your priority though. I have a pretty big head and the large is not tight enough on my noggin to keep hair back (or at least I imagine it isn't).
