In the 80s, there were the semi-functional sweatbands. Then, the 90s brought us the non-functional snap bracelets. Time, technology, and research has lead us to today’s form of functional and stylish arm flair—performance wristbands.

From the exterior, performance wristbands may look like the old school sweatbands you saw on 80′s workout videos. It isn’t until you take a microscopic look that you can observe the true science and technology behind them.

A performance wristband’s main material characteristic is polypropylene. Polypropylene, in its polymer fiber structure, acts as a filter by attracting but not absorbing moisture and storing it on each fiber at a molecular level. This allows for rapid evaporation of the moisture and in turn, a dry product.

You may be asking yourself, “Why is this Got Eyewash company getting so scientific with such a simple product?” The answer, frankly, is because it’s the Eyewash thing to do. If you didn’t understand any of what was written above, you probably aren’t alone. More than likely, after reading the deep science behind it, any serious athlete would be confused. So, try not to think about why your arms are staying dry while you are in competition—just know that they’re increasing your flair and making you look good.
