The material is soft and breathable and really assists take in the sweat and keeps it out of my eyes. It is made from light-weight single layer fabric, this ensures the workout sweatband is not too thick and doesn't make you feel too hot during exercise. Plus you can just toss it into the washing machine. The design allows you to wear it as large or as thin as you like - whatever your style is for that day or exercise. This workout sweatband is also best for those fast trips to the store when your hair requires a little taming, if you know what I mean! http://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Sports-Headband-Moisture-Sweatband/dp/B017TVG9CU/
