FAQs
What makes the Heiq Smart Temp technology effective?
Heiq Smart Temp is a thermoregulation technology that uses special microcapsules. When your body temperature rises, these capsules absorb heat and release moisture, creating a cooling sensation. As you cool down, the capsules reset.
How does the Polygiene odor control work?
Polygiene uses natural silver salt in a low concentration to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms are what cause odors, so by preventing their growth, the fabric stays fresher for longer.
Can I wear this headband for running in the sun?
Yes, absolutely. The UPF 50 certification provides excellent sun protection, and the cooling and moisture-wicking properties make it ideal for running and other strenuous outdoor activities.
What does 'bi-directional elastic fabric' mean?
It means the fabric stretches equally well in both directions (width and length), allowing for a comfortable, adaptable fit that conforms to your head shape without constricting or slipping.
How wide is the headband?
This specific model, the 'Wide' version, measures 9.5 cm in width, offering more coverage than standard headbands.
Are the recycled materials as durable as virgin materials?
Yes, the process of converting post-consumer plastic bottles into fibers results in high-quality technical fabrics that maintain durability and performance comparable to fabrics made from virgin materials.
How should I wash the headband to maintain its features?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing, as these can degrade the performance of the UPF protection, cooling technology, and odor control treatment.
Troubleshooting
Headband feels too tight or too loose
The bi-directional elastic fabric is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too tight, try stretching it gently. If too loose, ensure it is positioned correctly on the head. Due to its elasticity, it should adapt over time.
Reduced cooling effect
Ensure the Heiq Smart Temp technology is activated by body heat. If the fabric feels saturated with sweat, allow it to dry slightly for the cooling effect to re-engage. Proper washing without fabric softener can help maintain fabric performance.
Odor is not controlled
The Polygiene antimicrobial treatment is effective but can be overwhelmed by excessive build-up. Ensure regular washing according to care instructions. Avoid using heavily scented detergents, as they can mask odors rather than prevent them.
