Buff DryFlx Headband
An ultralight, quick-drying headband with reflective fabric that iRunFar recommends for dark winter runs: it keeps ears covered, lets the head vent, and squashes into a tiny ball. Coverage is too limited for the harshest cold.

What reviewers say
Recommended headband ($24); praised for 360-degree reflectivity that lights up in car headlights, packability, and ear protection that still lets the head release heat. Its limited coverage makes it less suited to the coldest, windiest days.
