Okay, so I’ve been on the hunt for a decent sports visor lately, something that actually stays put during my runs and doesn’t feel like it’s squeezing my brains out. I figured I’d share my little adventure in finding the perfect one, because let’s be honest, it’s not as easy as it seems!
I started by checking out some sports stores. I grabbed a few, including one from Nike. Their stuff always looks so sleek, you know? I also wanted to see other options besides Nike, because, you know, variety is the spice of life.
I tried on a bunch. The Nike one was pretty good, not gonna lie. It had this adjustable strap thingy, which was nice. Some of the others were just a single piece of stretchy material, and those felt kinda flimsy, like they’d fly off with the first gust of wind.
My Checklist
- First off, the material. It had to be something that wouldn’t turn into a sweat sponge after five minutes. Breathable, you know?
- Then there was the fit. I needed something adjustable. My head’s not exactly tiny, but it’s not huge either, so one-size-fits-all often doesn’t work for me.
- And of course, comfort was key. I didn’t want anything digging into my forehead or giving me a headache after wearing it for a while.
- Oh, and style points! It had to look decent. I mean, I’m not trying to win any fashion awards while I’m running, but I also don’t want to look like a complete dork.
After trying a ton of visors, some felt too tight, some too loose. Some had these weird brims that just didn’t sit right. The Nike one was leading the pack, but I still wasn’t 100% sold. I saw there were other brands that had some good reviews, like SAAKA, Adidas, and a few others.
So, I hopped online to see what other brands offered. I noticed that many visors online were priced similarly to the Nike one I tried, around $26.00. I also saw some cheaper ones for about $8.97 and more expensive ones, like one that cost $60.00! I mean, it’s just a visor, right?
I ended up ordering a couple online to try, a SAAKA one, and an Adidas one, because why not, right? I’m still waiting for them to arrive, but once they do, I’ll definitely update you guys on how they compare. It’s turning into a bit of a saga, this visor hunt, but I’m determined to find the perfect one!
Stay tuned for part two of the great visor adventure. Hopefully, I’ll have a winner to report soon!
