SECOND OVERTIME SWEATBANDS BACKSTOPPER is the most absorbent line in our selection and has the most size options.
BACKSTOPPER 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 orange BACKSTOPPER-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 BACKSTOPPER 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.
