Product description | Functional headband with your own logo
These high-performance sports headbands are visually appealing functional clothing. The material used is the same as that used in conventional functional sportswear in winter sports or running and is similar to Lycra®. Functional headbands are extra wide, ultra light and consist of a high proportion of elastane. The special material composition has useful functions:
It makes these promotional items breathable, sweat-absorbing and moisture-transporting and therefore quick-drying.
How? By quickly transporting moisture from the skin to the outside of the functional headband. Here it can evaporate more quickly, which means the body stays dry and does not cool down. This highly elastic outer material ensures a very high level of comfort.
In addition, these elastane or microfiber headbands can be equipped with a soft and warming inside made of anti-pilling microfleece or printed with a reflective motif or logo.
This makes this sports headband merchandise a real all-rounder in terms of possible uses for the recipient/wearer.
In summer and spring, its sweat-absorbing and moisture-transporting function makes it more comfortable when doing sports. In addition, these promotional headbands offer reliable UV protection. This item is often used in mild temperatures when biking, hiking, walking, running, jogging, Nordic walking, inline skating or in the fitness area such as weight training or fitness training. It can be used as a hairband - or simply as a fashionable accessory. So it is ideal for runners, tennis players, cyclists, cross-country skiers, etc. etc. etc.
In winter, the promotional headband made of functional material helps against the cold, wind and chilling. It can be worn alone as an ear warmer or as an additional layer under a ski helmet, snowboard helmet, bicycle helmet or motorcycle helmet. Therefore, it is extremely popular and frequently used for skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and biathlon, touring, mountaineering and climbing.
For you as an advertiser, the Lycra® headbands are an ideal giveaway. Firstly, despite their great function, they are very inexpensive. Secondly, they can be printed over the entire surface without any restrictions. Even photorealistic and reflective motifs can be implemented without any problem. The item is compact and very light. It can therefore also be used as a promotional gift in mailings. Or as a giveaway item at large sporting events or music festivals. Or as a customer gift at company parties. Or as a sales item, fan article or merchandising product at your stand or in your online shop, for example for triathlon, city run or marathon events.
After distribution, your advertising message will be very clearly visible. Because when worn on the head in public during sporting activities, everyone in the area will immediately notice it. And a running headband promotional item will certainly not be thrown away. Thanks to its real function and great flexibility, it will be worn frequently and happily over a long period of time. Your company logo, product name or advertising slogan will therefore be advertised for a long time.

Material, function & areas of application | Functional headbands with logo
Unlike the classic terry cloth headbandThe functional headband is made of a special blend of polyester and elastane. Similar to Lycra® and fabrics used in functional sportswear, for example in winter sports. The material is extremely light and its elasticity makes it super comfortable to wear. We generally always produce our functional headbands in two layers. This offers your promotional gift recipients the best comfort and functionality.
In addition, the functional material used has the following positive properties:
- Breathable
- Fast drying
- Sweat-absorbing and extremely absorbent
- Moisture-transporting (prevents cooling down during sports)
- Provides UV protection
- Protects against heat, sunlight and sweat in summer and against wind and cold in winter
Basically, we offer the following material variants for the production of functional forehead bands:
- Elastane / Lycra (80% Elastane / 20% Polyester)
- Microfiber (80% Microfiber Polyester / 20% Elastane)
- Jersey (100% cotton)
- Fleece (micro or polar fleece)
Functional headbands made of elastane (Lycra) are the most frequently ordered by our customers. It offers the best properties for sporting activities, both in summer and winter. In addition to this material, we also offer these alternative material compositions:
We can also make these running headbands from microfiber, the same material used in Multifunctional scarves / tube scarves / loop scarves This has the same positive properties as the Lycra®-like material, but differs slightly in its feel.
Another option is jersey material, made from 100% cotton. It is only slightly less elastic than the microfiber or elastane variants, but this material feels a little more natural for most wearers. And some of our advertising customers appreciate this variant because of the special "jersey look" that they find to be a perfect fit for their marketing campaign or promotional activity. In summary, a little less sporty, but a little more natural.
Our fourth material option is the production of sports headbands in fleece. Micro fleece can be printed on the outside with your logo or desired motif, even photorealistically or reflective. On the inside you can choose between fine micro fleece (a little flatter) or fluffy polar fleece (a little coarser and thicker). This option is particularly suitable for winter sports or for events in ski resorts such as ski huts, après-ski parties or season opening celebrations.
You can also have the three versions made of elastane (Lycra), microfiber and jersey (cotton) fitted with fleece on the inside. This makes the items a little less breathable, but significantly more heat-insulating and wind-protective.
Which of the four material model variants, in which combination, is “better” for you is purely a matter of personal taste and can be determined by you as the client.
Classic headbands made of high-quality cotton terry cloth can be found in our headband category here.
