2XU Run Visor
The 2XU Running Visor is a wonderful, lightweight, and inexpensive running visor that customers just seem to love. This visor comes in so many different colors that many runners feel like they have to purchase multiples to match every outfit. There is a color to fit anyone’s style and personality. The one size fits all aspect of this visor, in the way of an adjustable velcro strap on the back, makes it so almost anyone can wear this and be comfortable doing it.
When you are running it is important to keep yourself cool, and that is where this visor can help. The breathable material and the open top of the visor are ideal to help prevent you from overheating while on the go. Many runners like to wear some form of a hat when they are on the run to help keep the sweat from their faces, but a lot of people do not realize how much wearing a closed top cap can increase their body temperature. If you are a runner that overheats easily and enjoys wearing a cap, give this visor a try, as customers love what it does for them when they are running, especially longer distances and in warmer temperatures. In addition to the breathable materials, the sweatband uses moisture-wicking materials to help guide the sweat away from your face and allows it to evaporate easier, in turn keeping you cooler and drier.
This is an all around good running visor with a favorable price point and a great look that customers love and recommend.

Use
Some runners enjoy that they can use the curved bill of the visor to make themselves into a kind of visual cacoon and block out the rest of the world, focusing only on their running and what is in front of them. Be careful with this though, because it can and will reduce the field of vision and possibly your awareness of any obstacles you may encounter over your head. One runner commented that she hit her head on a low hanging branch because she did not see it coming.

Protection
