Why settle for a gutter mouth when you can have a whole Gutr head? After years of fighting to get in the zone while running and being distracted by sweat stinging my eyes, I finally found a simple device that collects the sweat from my forehead and channels it harmlessly off the sides of my head.
The Sweat Gutr Headband is basically a rain gutter for your head. It works on the exact same principle. The thin, rubbery plastic headband has a gutter lip on the front that collects sweat before it can drop into your eyes. This saves me from having to wipe my brow every couple of minutes, leaving me free to focus on my stride, tunes or nothing at all.
Velcro straps and a hair tie at the back of the Sweat Gutr make it completely adjustable for every head size. Another plus is it's much thinner than bandanas and other sport headbands that heat up your head.
The only shortcoming I've found is that the Sweat Gutr won't catch the moisture that forms below the gutter. You may still have to wring out your eyebrows every now and then, but never to the extent you do without the Gutr. Others have noted that if you have any unusual indents on your forehead, sweat might drop through the gap that forms between skin and Sweat Gutr. I've never had this happen, but it's something to consider.
If you're a sweater like me, you can't afford not to use a Sweat Gutr. Just clean the leaves out every Saturday, and it will work flawlessly for years to come.
Wanted: Gutr Heads. The Sweat Gutr Headband has a lip extension that acts just like rain gutters on your home. It channels the sweat to the sides of your head, so you don't have to spend your whole run wiping your brow.
