HEADBAND KARPOS PELMO Fire/woodl.gray

The Karpos Pelmo headband is a lightweight, breathable headband made from a polyester and elastane blend, offering protection from the cold during intense activities. Weighing just 16 g and measuring 11 cm in height, it is an ideal accessory for mountain biking, trail running and ski touring, where reliable moisture wicking without unnecessary weight is essential.

What conditions and activities is it designed for?

It is a versatile technical accessory for transitional seasons and colder days. It is designed for recreational and advanced athletes looking for thin yet effective protection for their ears and forehead when mountain biking, trail running or ski touring. Its low profile makes it ideal for wearing under a cycling or climbing helmet, where it does not feel restrictive while helping to keep your head dry.

Key features and material

• Material composition: The blend of 85 % polyester and 15 % elastane provides excellent stretch and dries quickly during exercise.
• Minimal weight: At just 16 g, the headband is barely noticeable and adds virtually no extra weight.
• Optimal height: The 11 cm-wide design provides full ear coverage and protection from the wind in exposed areas.

In use

During intense climbs on the bike or on foot, the stretchy material, made from 85 % polyester, quickly absorbs and wicks away sweat, helping to prevent overheating and an uncomfortable damp feeling on your forehead.

On fast descents and in windy conditions, the 11 cm-high profile reliably protects your ears from the cold. The thin design allows you to wear it comfortably under a trail or enduro cycling helmet without affecting the fit or safety of the helmet.

On all-day rides and in changeable weather, its exceptionally low weight (16 g) means you can easily stow the headband in the smallest pocket of your cycling jersey or rucksack when you no longer need it.
