DALLAS, TX - May 3, 2007 - As temperatures start to climb
across much of the U.S., runners and other athletes are
taking their workouts outdoors--and they're taking the new
Sweat GUTR TM sweatband with them.Experts say the average athlete produces between 1 and 3
liters of sweat per hour, and with heat and humidity, those
numbers are likely to be on the high side. Left unchecked,
this sweat can drip into an athlete's eyes, causing
discomfort and hindering performance.
"Terry cloth headbands or cotton bandanas can't absorb
that much sweat, and if the cloth becomes saturated, it
simply won't work," says Erick Flatt, founder and president
of Tunnel Vision, the makers of the Sweat GUTR. "When
you're training or in a race, the last thing you want is sweat
blurring your vision."
With the Sweat GUTR, saturation is never a problem. Made
from soft, flexible non-absorbent PVC, the sweatband
features patented MicroLip TechnologyTM--a small,
almost
imperceptible gutter--that captures sweat and channels it
off the forehead and away from the eyes. Even drenching
sweat is no match for the Sweat GUTR.
Available online and in retail stores across the U.S., the
high-tech sweatband is ultra comfortable, lightweight and
easy to clean. And a limited camouflage color dubbed the
"Warrior" edition will be available soon.
"The Sweat GUTR has become the de facto symbol of the
serious athlete," says Flatt. "But now recreational athletes,
beginning runners...just about anyone who sweats...are
discovering the Sweat GUTR."
Even in the hottest summer heat, the Sweat GUTR won't
stick to your forehead or create an ugly indentation. It comes
with adjustable sizing bands and includes Velcro closures
for micro-fitting. And at an MSRP of $15.99, it's a product that
fits your wallet just as comfortably as it fits your head.
