SECOND OVERTIME SWEATBANDS BLACKSTOPPER (together with its orange counterpart BACKSTOPPER) is the most absorbent line in our selection and has the most size options.

BLACKSTOPPER has three thicknesses to choose from. Because of the way we design our products you can expect consistent performance throughout the line. Even the thinnest option brings almost 85 percent of the absorbency of the thickest option. This means you can make your selection based entirely on the fit of your mask (as you always should).

The BLACKSTOPPER-sweatbands are made from rayon blend which many goalies already recognise to be tried and true. The fibers of this material are long and have a lot of space between them. This space allows it to absorb and capture liquids very efficiently.

The loose structure of the fibers means that BLACKSTOPPER may show signs of wear earlier than the sweatbands of ELITE+/ELITE-lines, but this is mostly visual and has very little to do with performance.

The difference in absorbency between thicknesses is negligible. You should make your selection based on the fit of your mask.

Taking good care of your sweatbands between uses keeps you playing worry-free and guarantees you can fully focus on the task at hand: stopping those pucks. These sweatbands are designed to absorb and hold on to everything you "throw" at them, therefore it's important to wash or at least give them a quick rinse after use.

Please note

The sweatband comes with the softer (loop) side of hook-and-loop fastener on the back. Make sure you have the rougher side (hook) on your goalie mask. The hook side is not included with the sweatband.
