Accessories Nike: headbands and water bottles

Flex Classic: the elastic sold in packs

The Flex Classic is an elastic headband that you slip on without adjustment. It is sold in packs of three or six, sometimes in different widths: a wide one for sweaty sessions and a slim one for matches. A pack also prevents you from having to reuse the wet headband from the day before.

Premier: the headband that ties behind the head

The Premier comes from tennis. It ties at the back of the head, allowing you to adjust the tension, and combines cotton, polyester, and elastane with Nike's Dri-FIT technology to wick away sweat. It comes in a women's version and in various colours.

Water bottles and TR shakers for hydration

In terms of number of references, the water bottles even surpass the headbands. The TR shaker allows you to prepare a recovery drink directly in the bottle, and some models are refillable. The straw models can be used without unscrewing the cap, which is handy during a timeout.

Towels and neck warmers

The Fundamental towel, in a large size, and the Medium Graphic, more compact, are shared between shower and bench. The neck warmers protect against the cold on the way to training or during an outdoor warm-up.

The headband in volley: when it becomes useful

In reception, a drop of sweat in the eye is enough to miss reading a floating serve. Liberos and wing spikers, who lean forward throughout the match, are the most concerned. On the beach, the headband also keeps sunscreen from running down with the sweat.

Making your headbands last

A headband often wears out due to its elastic. Wash it with your kit on a gentle cycle and forget the tumble dryer, as the heat wears out the elastic. Rotate several headbands from the same pack rather than wearing the same one all the time.

Errea, Erima, Hummel: expanding the choice

For a beach cap, the page accessories Errea features the Eddie model. The accessories Erima add sponge headbands and club small equipment, while the accessories Macron come in packs of five. The accessories Hummel and accessories adidas cover recovery, with sandals and flip-flops, and the page accessories Tremblay CT focuses on physical preparation. Everything can be found on the page Black Friday accessories, and the clearance accessories extends the great prices.

Frequently asked questions

How to spot budget Nike headbands during the sale?

Start with the product type filter: it filters out water bottles and towels, leaving only headbands, either individually or in packs. For a team, a pack of six is enough to equip the whole starting six.

Is a headband allowed in a volley match?

A soft headband, without any hard parts or jewels, is commonly worn in competition. If in doubt, ask the referee before the match.

Which Nike water bottle for a one-day tournament?

Get a large volume one, or two bottles, so you don't have to rely on the water points in the gym. A straw model allows for quick sipping between sets.

How to prevent odours in a water bottle?

Rinse it after each session, especially if you put a sugary or recovery drink in it, and let it dry open. A bottle brush helps clean the bottom and the straw.

Is a neck warmer useful indoors?

During the game, no: it gets in the way and the hall is warm. It is useful for warming up in a cold gym, on the way there, or during an outdoor tournament.
