Friday's Favorite Fit: BIC Bands

By Cool J in Minneapolis

Happy Friday friends! Today’s edition of “Friday’s Favorite Fit” is an oldie but a goodie- BIC bands!

I wrote about my love of BIC Bands (“Because-I-Can”) last May as well, in this post but I think it’s time to bring it up again for any new readers. These awesome headbands actually stay in place, and they keep your hair back, just the way you want it when running. I wore one last night for the TC 1 Mile (race review to come!)

Sandy, the owner of BIC bands was so great to work with last year, when she helped me to design custom BIC bands for the Calhoun Beach Running Club.

A bunch of the ladies wore their CBRC bands last night with pride! They looked awesome!

*FYI, I still have more Calhoun Beach Running Club BIC bands if anyone wants one- just $10!

In addition to the custom CBRC headbands, BIC bands come in such a wide variety of colors and patterns. Whatever your taste, you will find a BIC band for you!

And right now you can purchase a limited edition “Boston Strong BIC band.” 100% of the price is donated to the One Fund.

So, that’s my favorite fit for today. If you hate having your hair fly in your face when working out, I encourage you to try out a few BIC bands today. You won’t regret it!

More About BIC Bands:

From Sandy:

“These amazing headbands started all as a fundraiser for my run with Team In Training. I was looking for a way to raise the necessary funds to run my first half marathon. I had started to make some handy dandy headband that didn’t slip because I was cheap and crafty~ friends said they’d buy them, so I decided to try my hand at making and selling them. My small little venture began and I started sewing. I donated the profits to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. OVER $1000 was raised through the sale of B.I.C. Bands! B.I.C. Bands~ Because I Can Bands ~We raise funds because we can…for those who can’t so that one day they will!

Because B.I.C. Bands were been such a hit after my race, I decided to keep making and selling the bands, and keep giving back to those in need!

From the beginning days of making B.I.C. Bands for my run with Team In Training, giving back has been at the heart of the business.

Each month we donate from the sale of every band to a different charity. Check out the facebook page to see who we’re helping this month!

These bands don’t slip- SERIOUSLY!!! The magic lining of these little guys stick to your hair. And as an added bonus~ they’re soft and stretchy, working hard to not give you a headache

While the major majority of customers fit perfectly into a 20″ B.I.C. Band, a small handful of customers need a larger size (21″) or smaller size (19″). The beauty of these is that they are all handmade and can easily be custom made to fit you! (Kids love B.I.C. Bands too!!)

If your not sure which size to order, measure your head where you’d wear your B.I.C. Band~ you’re looking for an inch to two inches of stretch (i.e. head measures 21.5″, order a 20″) If you don’t specify a size in the notes at checkout, your band will be a standard 20” B.I.C. band.

YES! B.I.C. Bands are washable. It’s recommended that you hand wash it. Or, you can wear it straight into the shower after your workout! Rinse it out and hang it up to dry!
