NOTE THAT RECOMMENDED AGE RANGES ARE BASED ON AVERAGE SIZED HEADS.

*We often see kids with larger than average head sizes needing to go up one size if only referring to age recommendations.*

AGAIN,IT IT ALWAYS BEST TO MEASURE AND CHECK THE SIZE CHART!

The Ear Band-It® / The Ear Band-It® Ultra Headband for Water Sports

The Ear Band-It® Original swimmer's headband is the original swimming headband invented by a Ear, Nose and Throat Physician with over 40 years experience. The Ear Band-It® is designed to hold ear plugs or ear molds in place while engaging in water activities. The swimming headband is made of extra durable 3 mil neoprene with adjustable velcro® type closure. Ear Band-It®'s unique design offers ultimate comfort and protection for the ears.

Purchase Ear Band-It® headband alone or conveniently packaged with a set of Putty Buddies® ear plugs.

The Ear Band-It® headband is available in five colors (Royal Blue, Red, Purple, Teal and Magenta) and three sizes (Small, Medium and Large). 

The Ear Band-It® Ultra is made from our custom-designed, embossed neoprene on the inner side of the headband providing extra grip on the forehead, ears, and back of the head to avoid slipping during most types of water activity. It also contains 4.0mm 100% neoprene instead of 2.0mm-3.0mm neoprene blend that other headbands use. This gives the Ear Band-It® Ultra unparalleled strength and comfort. The unique shape of the Ear Band-It® Ultra is different than the Original Ear Band-It® headband and other swimming headbands. The ear flaps are larger, which increases the surface area, creating more grip and better coverage of the ear itself. Also the bridge at the forehead has been widened, which adds strength, reduces the potential for tearing at this stress point, and increases skin contact surface area for better grip.

The Ear Band-It® Ultra is available in eight colors and three sizes (Small, Medium, & Large). Available in all three sizes are the following colors: True Blue, Hot Pink, Neon Green, Neon Yellow, Neon Orange, and Camo. Also available in the size Large only are the colors Black and Tan.
