Abstract
A non-dripping sweat band that encircles the users head between the hairline and eyebrows with loose ends secured by quick release fasteners behind the user's head. The ban has a tube-like body formed by a porous cloth cover (e.g., cotton) which is bias cut to form panels on each side of a lengthwise fold. A strip of porous, thick batting material (e.g., Dacron polyester pad) is sewn lengthwise to the cloth cover and also to the edges of the panels. The assembly is turned inside out whereby the cloth cover is exterior of the tubular batting material which extends between the temples. Velcro strips can be attached to the loose ends of the body. The band is pulled into a flat belt-like band across the user's brow so as to wick sweat sideways away from the eyes and towards the sideburns where excess perspiration can be released. The band resumes a tubular configuration upon relaxation of the tensioning forces to promote quick drying after washing. Excess perspiration is wicked from the brow and released at the sideburn area of the user's head.
