As a woman with long hair I can pull my hair over so the back band doesn't even show! Makes a tremendous difference having these on and feeling warm. I ride horses, walk the dogs, getting [to] and from the car to stores, and the ear grips truly do keep your ears warm! Also cuts way down on wind getting to your ears!

Rave review: “I’m blown away by this product. [...] My hair doesn’t jostle them out of place. My helmet doesn’t move them. They fit on with hats. They fit over airpods. They fit over earrings (even dangly ones that hang out under them) and they don’t fall off! I wear them at the same time as glasses or sunglasses, no problem. They also cut down a bit on wind noise from biking, too. They are comfortable and cozy. [...] And if you get too warm, they’re small and will fit easily in a pocket.”
