These things stretch. They grip. They soak up what your forehead manufactures without asking permission. For running, they sit where you put them. For yoga, they stay quiet under inversions.

Measure against a new band for shrinkage. Specific results vary by ** chemistry and local humidity. Always verify claims **.
