The Best Headbands To Wear While Running
April 23 2018
We tamed those unruly flyaways and managed second-day hair with dozens of headbands to find the five best for runners.
When it comes to safety, most runners own a reflective vest or personal lights. However, there are some great—and discreet—products that extend beyond running that can keep you prepared to defend yourself at a time when you need it most. We found three new products that you probably don’t own yet—but should—to give yourself (and loved ones) peace of mind.
This bra isn’t your typical sports bra. It contains a compartment that is made specifically to hold pepper spray (they also make one that will hold a concealed knife) for easy access and to keep your hands free. It comes in five colors, so you’ll probably want to buy them all. boobytrapbras.com
This little piece of jewelry packs a big punch. Created by ROAR for Good, you can wear it as a necklace, clip it to your purse or clip it to your shirt/pants and with the touch of a button, you have a personal alarm. It has two modes, a loud alarm or a discreet, silent alarm. In both cases, it pairs with your phone and will text your loved ones to let you know you need help. roarforgood.com
This alarm helps you deter danger and call for attention in emergencies. The alarm is audible up to 1,000 feet (300M) away and sounds continuously when the you pull the metal ring to activate. Once help arrives, you can insert the pin to stop the reusable alarm from sounding. The adjustable, weatherproof wrist strap features a reflective logo for enhanced visibility. sabrered.com
This pepper spray is so discreet! Keep it in your purse or throw it in your hydration belt to have a little dose of pepper spray on hand at all times. Not only does it maintain an element of surprise, but it can reach 8-10 feet and contains dye that will mark any attacker. pepperspray.com
This safety gear fits in the palm of your hand for protection on the go. Pepper gel virtually eliminates airborne particles and wind blow-back, only affecting the target/person it directly contacts. These benefits make pepper gel ideal for outdoor use, with reduced chances of wind causing the spray to affect innocent parties, including the user. sabrered.com
