Abstract The present invention provides a headband that is constructed of a combination of elements. The interior portion of the headband is made of a terrycloth material which has a high absorption and wicking capacity. The terrycloth portion of the headband is fitted against the brow of the person wearing the headband. Layered directly adjacent the terrycloth is a pad of chamois which has the ability to absorb large quantities of moisture. A good chamois can generally absorb two to three times its weight in moisture and thus is a highly efficient material for use in the headband product of the present invention. A backing of support cloth fits behind the chamois and extends beyond the terrycloth pad to form tie ribbons so that the headband can be tied about the forehead of the person using the invention. By the construction of elements as set forth above, the headband is capable of absorbing many times over its weight in moisture, thus allowing a person wearing the headband to engage in strenuous aerobic exercise and activity, generating large amounts of perspiration, all of which will be absorbed into the headband to keep the perspiration from running onto the face and into the eyes of the person wearing the headband.
