Music: Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007 performed by Yo-Yo Ma.

Omius Cooling Headband

First I ever knew this device existed was when I saw it on a number of runners in yesterday's Olympic men's marathon, including the silver medalist, Bashir Abdi.

Then who should be wearing one in today's women's marathon but the winner, the nonpareil Sifan Hassan (top, driving for the finish line). 

From the product website:

Omius headbands, visors, and caps are uniquely designed with a silicon grid to hold the Omius cooling pieces.

The grid holds the pieces in place and in direct contact with the skin.

The cooling pieces are replaceable and easily transferable from one product to another.

The products are made of the highest quality elastic material for an ergonomic and comfortable fit.

The elastic material of the headband and cap fit most head sizes; the visor is adjustable.

NOTE: Headband, visor, and cap are also sold separately but require 20 cooling pieces to function optimally.

Black or White: $204.
