If you have observed athletes keenly as they compete or you have noticed that they wear cool wrist sweatbands, you may have wondered what purpose they serve or have asked yourself other questions about them. This article looks at wristbands to help you understand them. When you do, you may even want to buy some for yourself.
What are cool wrist sweatbands?
Wristbands are worn around the wrist and can be made from several different materials. They are versatile accessories and serve several purposes, such as aesthetics, identification and preventing sweat from running onto athletes' palms reducing grip. Athletes may also use absorbent cool wrist sweatbands to wipe sweat from their faces while playing to avoid it getting into their eyes.
In some cases, organizations may give out cool wrist sweatbands to people participating in events they have sponsored. Such wristbands can display promotional messages and help to promote causes such as environmental conservation, poverty eradication, peace or unity among warring groups, or drumming up support for political parties and candidates during elections, etc.
What materials are used for cool wrist sweatbands?
like most other items or wearables, wristbands can be made from a variety of materials. The choice of materials used to make sweatbands depends on the purpose of the accessory, the design and even the budget allocated.
The Charity Clothing Company makes high-quality, customised cool wristbands for many organisations and businesses. They are well experienced in manufacturing accessories for creating awareness of many different charitable causes—or for athletes to help keep off sweat from their hands or to wipe the sweat on their faces.
Because wrist sweatbands are primarily meant to absorb sweat, the best and most functional ones are made from absorbent materials. Here are some of the materials for the wristbands:
Terry cloth wrist sweatbands
Terry wrist sweatbands are what comes to many people’s minds when they hear sweatbands mentioned. The reason for this is that most sweatbands used for sport and exercise are made from this multifunctional, versatile fabric. If you didn’t know, terry cloth is a highly absorbent material, that is comfortable on the wearer’s skin. Additionally, it has a good degree of elasticity which allows it to be worn comfortably and, at the same time, absorb every drop of sweat.
Cotton wrist sweatbands
Among the various materials used for sweatbands, cotton is one of the most absorbent fabrics available. Although cotton can be used to make wristbands for absorbing sweat, it is not commonly used, nor is it the most ideal material because cotton bands have a problem staying in place due to its lack of grip. Thus, for long-term wrist sweatbands, cotton is not the best material to use.
Microfiber wrist sweatbands
You can craft a homemade wrist sweatband using microfiber and it’s the best option for homemade bands. The material is absorbent and has the sweat-wicking ability making it a perfect fabric to make the accessory.
Wrapping up
Organisations and businesses can use cool wrist sweatbands to promote charitable causes and to market their brands. Wristbands can be made from materials, such as cotton, terry cloth and microfiber. Athletes’ wrist sweatbands are best made from absorbent materials, to soak up every drop of sweat. Cool wrist sweatbands can be customised by using different materials, colours, and designs and having different messages written on them.
