Three Strand Headband

Three headbands in one keep hair from flopping into your eyes with silicone gripper tape for a secure, no-pull fit.

running gear for women - reviews

At first I was really disappointed with this product, but I decided I would give it try while running. It does ride up the back of the head some, but not enough to bother me. While running it keeps the sweat from coming down on the face and the hair out of the eyes. I really liked the silicone gripper tape on each band! It seems bigger than most head bands I have own, but over all I would give it a thumbs up!!

Not for workouts
I have a small head and this fits great for wearing around town- kept my hair and bangs in place for most of the day without having to adjust it. However, the headband doesnt' stay on for active sports, such as running, and even slid off my head during yoga. I would recommend it for as a regular headband and not one for working out.

There is Slippage
This is a really cute headband. It is more practical for casual use than for a dance workout where head movement is constant. I had to readjust it many times throughout my workout. It does have grips on each strip, but its not enough for me, probably because I have fine hair and a small head. Teasing of the crown is necessary even for casual use to keep it from slipping backwards. Do that and you have a stylish look for work or running errands. I will probably order more of this headband in other colors.

This one is fun! It's a little loose for my head/hair, but women with fuller hair won't have a problem. Love the way it seperates into 3 strands. Different!

Adorable ... but it slips
This headband is great for shorter, layered hair and is really cute. Like other reviewers, I also have problems with it slipping during some activities, although a clip in the back helps it stay put for the most part. I have a pretty large head, though. In the end, it isn't the sort of thing I'd wear running, anyway. I love it for lazy Sundays when I don't feel like fixing my hair, or for activities like weightlifting, yoga or hiking when I want my hair out of the way but I won't be jumping up and down much.

Only if you have lots of hair, curly hair or a larger head
Color is true to site photos. Probably great for someone with really thick or curly hair but mine is so fine that, even though I have a lot of hair, there's little to no volume unless I style it. Since I bought this headband to hold back "the whispies" while I ... won't be putting product in my hair to go running, I'm underwhelmed. I would love to see two sizes in these elasticized headbands because some of us have smaller or larger heads or hair that lends itself to smaller or larger headbands - yet everything is one size, so those of us with a smaller head or finer/smoother hair don't get to benefit from these products as they're constantly slipping off our heads. For me, this was more trouble than it was worth but for someone it'll be absolutely adorable & do a great job of keeping their hair in place.

Cute but not effective...
Bought this and tried it at the gym today. It just didn't stay on! Perhaps if my head - or hair - were bigger it would work. I don't think one size fits all works for head bands. It's a shame because I wanted an Athleta headband but now I'm wearing my Lulu headbands with my Athleta gear :(

Not worth the $ paid, but too late to return.
Gave this thing a try while I did my workout. Either I have a small head, or the band is sized large -- or, its not designed to hold straight, coarse hair well. I DO NOT have nappy hair, it is straight, thick, layered and coarse in texture, yet it did not hold. I believe it will work better for the women with naturally curly/wavy hair (not nappy), so it has something to grab onto. It looks good/works well as an accessory, but (for me anyways) not for my cardio and even sculpting work outs. It kept slipping off, but when I wore it around the house, it worked fine. Buy it for looks, but not for performance.

Do not like this headband at all. I have lots of layers and thougt it would be perfect for my running but the third strand of the headband falls down to the back of my head. I have an average sized head. I will just stick to regular single layer headbands for running.

running gear for women - reviews

Great for running/cycling
These sunglasses are super lightweight and I use them all the time for running and cycling; also look good just running around town. They fit well beneath a running cap or cycling helmet. The lenses are interchangeable so you can even put in clear lenses to keep the wind and bugs out of the eyes while riding. Definitely worth the price!

No regret
I finally gave in and purchased those Oakley and I have quite a few pairs, but those are the one to have for running. Incredibly light, fits perfectly, with or without a cap. Great case to keep them in your gym bag without scracthing them. Great for driving too. Thanks Athleta for selecting those, it is difficult to make a choice when there are so many out there, since I started purchasing all my workout outfits with you and truly enjoy everything, I thought... well if you have them, I'll try them and no regrets!

All the right features
Glad I purchased these sunglasses, they have all the right features...full wraparound lenses, no slip nosepads and ear pads, great lens color (sort of a rose/gray tint). The frames seemed visually small in width at first, but they don't feel tight or cause any pain behind the ears. The glasses came with a nice case, which is a bit bulky, but as a result easy to find at the bottom of my gym bag. Used them running and they stay put! Also they fit well beneath a ball cap...bonus!

Love these sunglasses
i ordered these in white and was a little surprised to see that the lenses have a pinkish/grayish tinge to them, however after wearing them i really love them. The optics are really good - they filter out the glare/shadows and eveything is really clear (and beautiful). The white looks really sporty too. I've worn them both running and cycling and they are great for both - really lightweight, fit is great. I love the women specific fit.

Fabulous
luckily found these in my hometown and got them in white and purple. They rock, I wear them cycling and running and couldn't be happier. They look great on and are functional- no glares and fit very nicely. They also are a little flexible. Comes in super nice case with slits to optionally buy the interchangeable lens. I'm very happy with them, buy them!

Fabulous!
I bought these to wear while running and cycling, and they are great! I have a really small head and they fit perfectly, although the lenses are a bit big. Would definitely recommend them, despite the rather large price tag!

I need some info
I ordered those sunglasses for running, they fit fantastic, super light and they don't move as you ... they also don't fog up but somehow I feel I am missing some accessories in the box and will call customer service today. Will confirm later.

running gear for women - reviews

It works
I ... 4 days out of 5 before work, so I'm out around 6:15 a.m. when it's quite dark. I wear lots of reflective clothes and I had a blinkie light on my chest, but I was still having to dodge too many cars. I ordered this vest and it's made a difference. Drivers notice me much earlier than before. They're moving over sooner and I've only had one close call ::knock on wood:: since and that driver was not paying attention as he turned off a side street onto the road I was ... down. No amount of blinkies and reflective gear make up for paying attention to cars and I make sure to get out of their way, but at the same time, I want to stand out and this vest has really helped. I adjusts nicely so that it's snug, but not too tight and it doesn't chafe. I think it's well worth the money.

works well
Recently ran a 200 mile relay race and was required to have reflective gear for night time ... vest was perfect- didn't ride up or twist and was very reflective on very dark roads. both men and women wore the vest and it adjusted well to all of our sizes.

Worth every cent - this is THE one to have!
I used to work in a ... store and we sold several reflective vests including this one. I PROMISE you this is the best one...it doesn't get in your way, you can adjust it and it is SUPER reflective from far away. Plus, it has the little pocket in front so you can put a key or gel... I see way more women ... dark clothing in the early morning or night (which is awesome in and of itself), but please wear one even if you feel you look dorky! Cars will go out of their WAY to go around you!

Every runner must have one
I am an early morning runner year round which means 7 months of the year I'm ... dark in the city. Light and reflective gear has always been important to me. This vest is so lightweight and highly adjustable that it's perfect! It certainly beats the traditional reflective vests on the market. I'm 5'8" and 130 lbs and within minutes I had the vest adjusted to ride just where I wanted it. It's also off and on in seconds. The only improvement would be a straight strap section in the front that I could clip a headlamp too. I'll work on that.

nice toes
How awesome, I love these socks. they really make a difference in walking and running. Thank you

Great running sock
Have 3 pairs of these great sock thin but still slight cushion and good for warm climate like Florida

Great socks
I love these socks: they're low profile, they don't "ride around" on my feet or bunch up in my running shoes. I've been wearing these socks for a long time, and they wash and dry very well. Best, I never get blisters. Highly recommended as a running sock.

Favorite socks
Love these Hera socks for running, and just to wear around the house. First discovered them at my local running store, but glad to see them on Athleta so I don't have to make a special store trip to get more. They fit great (I have the medium socks, I wear 7.5 normal shoe but 8.5 in most running shoes). They don't stretch out and bunch up like all other socks I've had. They don't slide down my heel. They don't have uncomfortable stiching at the toes. They really are perfect. Thin socks to be comfortable in your shoes without added bulk. No blisters. I have had one or two of my pairs for about 2 years, and a couple other pairs for about one year. And they still fit/wear great after that long and that many washes. Only reason I'm getting more is that I am running more days a week, and need more pairs to make it through the laundry cycle (plus I'm completely abandoning all my other crummy running socks and replacing with these). Thank you to Athleta for carrying these!!

Preformance socks!
These socks rock! I love that they don't slide down when I'm running. They also wick sweat really well so you don't get blisters as bad. They also have padding on the front & back so your sneakers won't rub. Well worth the price!

Great socks!
My new favorite running socks! I like that they have designated which sock is for your left/right foot. I am a shoe size 7 or 7.5 and the size small in these socks is perfect.

Perfect running socks
These socks are perfect for running because they have just the right amount of resistance. Your foot will not slide in the shoe at all. And they are amazingly soft (not sure how long that will last, but it has lasted at least through a couple of washes.)
