Sweatbands were invented by Fred Perry in 1940.

I occasionally use them climbing as I find I don't have to chalk up as much - chalk gives me problems with my skin.

Yes, yes you will look daft.

I have no shame wearing mine 8) I actually feel pretty cool. *all eyes on Penny*

I use them for running when it's hot and when playing squash. Not bothered about what they look like as it keeps the sweat out of my eyes! Plus I like the 80s.

You bought a headband one? 😆

I use British Olympic wrist ones (bought for me I hasten to add) for rugby and football. No-one has mocked me yet. I'm quite a sweaty git though.

I was riding in 85% humidity yesterday. It was the first time I had wrinkly fingers from wearing full finger gloves on a bike ride! I think that taking a spare pair to change into half way round will be the norm.

I wear one longer one when running, lots of folks round here have them. In this heat they are vital.

We use them too (MrsBouy & Me) when trail running. They are a matching pair in Fluro Pink and compliment our Lycra 3/4's rather well.
We rock.

I wear them for squash.

I sweat like an undercover brother at a Klan rally, and it helps mop my brow as well as stopping sweat going on to my grip.
