Bondi Band review and giveaway

June 3, 2014 by MCM Mama 66 Comments

I adore Bondi Bands!  I was given my first one back after I finished my first marathon and totally fell in love with their versatility.

So when SweatPink gave me the opportunity to get a new band and give a couple away, I jumped on it, because, obviously, I don’t have enough (and I’m pretty sure I actually have a couple more…)

bondi-bands

Here’s what Bondi Band has to say about their product:

Bondi Bands are great for women, men, girls and boys! Bondi Bands are composed of a unique blend of nylon, lycra, and spandex. The result is a stretchy yet form fitting band that holds up under the toughest hair styles and types.

Bondi Band also gives back.  Each year they donate 10% of their pretax profits to chairty. Their current charity is the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

dana-farberDana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) is a Comprehensive Cancer Center designated by the National Cancer Institute.
It is a major affiliate of Harvard Medical School and is located in Boston, Massachusetts.

The origins of DFCI date back to 1947. DFCI employs about 3,000 people.
Most importantly, there are more than 150,000 patient visits a year,
and it is involved in some 200 clinical trials.
It is internationally known for its research and clinical excellence.

But, let’s be honest, I like them because they fill a need I have.  I wear them in the winter to hold my hat on and keep my ears warm.  I like to wear them when it’s windy or when it’s not cold enough to need a really warm hat.  And they totally saved me when the Riverboat Series decided to go from 80+ degrees to barely over freezing.  I used them for the start of both the Mississippi and Louisiana races.

Now that my hair is short, I’m really digging them for lifting weights.  My hair is too short to put back in a ponytail and hair hanging in my eyes while I’m sweating is not my favorite thing. Bondi Bands are the only headbands that still work in my newly shortened hair!
