Is it hot in here or is it just me?
It s not me? Ah. . . well. . . it s no joke that welding will make you break out in a sweat, especially under the helmet.
Hi, I m Angela from the marketing department here at Gregg Distributors.
The feeling of sweat rolling down your face is not a sensation I m very fond of.
Thankfully Comfort Bands are here to help keep your face sweat-free!
Welcome back to Gear Up with Gregg's.
Comfort Bands International was established in 1991, right here in Southern Alberta.
Today their products are still locally hand made by Canadians who truly pride themselves on producing a quality product.
What are Comfort Bands?
Well, they re a terry cloth sweatband that acts as a one-way sponge.
These sweatbands draw in sweat and moisture from your forehead in order to allow evaporation to occur.
The result?
Users can enjoy a cool, dry forehead!
The use of Comfort Bands isn't limited to the hot summer months either.
They also help to reduce heat loss in frigid conditions as these sweatbands keep the helmet's suspension system from making direct contact with your head.
Comfort Bands are made to fit most popular safety equipment.
They fit hard hats with a 4 or 6 point suspension system,
bump caps, welder's helmets, face shields and almost all headgear except some firefighter's helmets.
Regardless of the brand of safety headwear you're wearing, the hook and loop closer tape will secure the Comfort Band.
If you d like to learn more about hard hats and suspension systems check out our video, links are down below.
Now I know what you re-thinking,
these Comfort Bands are just sweatbands, right?
WRONG! Not all sweatbands are created equally!
When shopping for a sweatband of any kind, make sure to look for a high cotton content in order to get maximum sweat absorption.
Most sweatbands have high amounts of polyester in them and polyester does not soak up moisture.
Comfort Bands are made of 97 percent cotton and 3 percent polyester,
so you know they re built for comfort and absorption.
While they re busy soaking up sweat, Comfort Bands also stand up against the competition.
Many companies currently use foam sweatbands for their hard hats, and unfortunately, these are not easy to put on, and not very cost-efficient.
And, when foam bands inevitably dry out, they’re no longer comfortable to wear,
This results in many workers just replacing the foam band instead of dampening it,
and by discarding that many foam bands, workers are throwing away money and adding unnecessary waste to the environment.
With Comfort Bands, the band is always comfortable whether it s damp or dry,
and Comfort Bands are washable and reusable!
Some workers have used the same Comfort Band for over six months, which makes it a very cost-efficient product.
So don't sweat it, keep your head comfortable year-round, with Comfort Bands.
If you re interested in picking up your own Comfort Band, hard hat, suspension system,
or any other safety equipment you can give us a call or visit our website at greggdistributors.ca.
Again, I m Angela and from all of us here at Gregg's, have a cool Canadian day!
