Karpos Pelmo Essential Headband: warm solid-color headband

The Karpos Pelmo Essential Headband is a solid-color, warm and breathable headband made from a soft, stretchy, brushed fabric on the inside. It is a thermal headband designed to be worn for all winter outdoor activities, protecting the forehead and ears with minimal bulk. The Karpos logo on the front is the only graphic element; the size is unique and the height is 11 cm.

Brushed polyamide and elastane fabric

The fabric is made of 85% polyamide and 15% elastane. The inner brushing is a finishing process that raises the fibers on the skin-contact side: the surface becomes softer and traps a thin layer of air that helps retain warmth. Elastane provides the stretch needed to keep the headband in place without feeling tight. Net weight is only 16 g.

Breathability and recommended activities

Karpos rates it 5 out of 5 for breathability, 4 out of 5 for packability, 2 out of 5 for thermal insulation, and 1 out of 5 for wind protection. It is therefore a headband for active use: it wicks away sweat effectively and stows easily in a pocket when not needed. The brand recommends it for ski mountaineering and hiking, and gives it top marks for hiking, trail running, climbing, mountaineering, and mountain biking.
