Outdoor Headband (Men's)
An outdoor headband is a band worn around the forehead, typically during outdoor activities, designed to manage sweat, retain warmth, or provide protection. These headbands are commonly utilized by men participating in sports, hiking, running, or other physical endeavors in various weather conditions.
Material

- Microfiber: A highly absorbent and soft material providing excellent sweat management and comfort.
- Fleece: Used for warmth in colder conditions, offering insulation and a comfortable feel. Often made of polyester or a polyester blend.
- Wool (Merino Wool): Provides excellent warmth even when wet, naturally odor-resistant, and comfortable for extended wear. More expensive than synthetic options.
- Spandex/Elastane: Often blended with other materials to provide stretch and a secure fit.
