Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Halo Protex Bandana fit under a cycling helmet?

Yes, the tie-back design lets you adjust the fit before pulling on your helmet. The open micro-mesh top doesn’t add bulk, so it sits cleanly under road or mountain bike helmets without pressure or bunching.

What’s the difference between the Protex Bandana and the Halo II Pullover?

The Protex Bandana ties behind the head, which makes it easy to put on glasses-first and lets you dial in the tension exactly. It also covers more of the head with its wider, ear-to-ear design. The Halo II is a simple pullover, lighter and more minimal. If you want more coverage or prefer a tie-back fit, the Protex is the better choice.

Does it actually provide UV protection?

Yes. The micro-mesh is rated UPF 35 in white and UPF 50 in black and darker colorways, the highest UV protection rating available. That’s a meaningful benefit on long days in the sun, especially at altitude or on exposed gravel routes.

Best For

Cyclists and outdoor athletes who prefer a tie-back fit and want full-coverage UV protection on exposed rides.
