Sport band vs. Woven

[afctee]

For those that have a Sport band and a Woven band, they do feel very different, no?

In particular once your body is hot (not from doing exercise), does the Woven band feel better than the Sport band?

Thanks

They both have a different feel as they're different materials. My woven bands seem much more breathable, especially when hot. I usually wear a woven band if I know I'm going to be some place warm or engaging in physical activity.

I use the sport band when I'm running or working out and woven band for work or other things. I don't want the woven band to soak up sweat.

They're both very comfortable and I love them for different reasons.

Yes. I've tried several of both. I currently prefer the woven nylon, because it seems to breathe better, and I like texture.

Once they're on my wrist, I honestly don't notice any difference. It hasn't been warm enough for me to tell if the Woven breathes better, which, obviously, it should. The Sport band doesn't breathe at all.

So I only change them for the look and situation. I want an Argyle band to match my socks.

I have both. The woven is nice in hot and cold weather. Looks more stylish then the sports bands. Right now I have been wearing the sports bands more. But I must admit that the nylon are my new favorites. I just like the fact that they have contrasting colors.

Agree. I love the look of the woven nylon bands. It is casual but you can get away with it at work.

I wear the sports band for running since I want to be able to wash it afterwards. Otherwise what's most important to me is that the band match my shirt color. :nerd:

I prefer the fit of the sport band, but there are times the woven is more appropriate (work, etc.). But both are super comfortable.

The Sport band fits me juuuuust right whereas the Woven band on occasion is sometimes a tad loose or a tad tight.

Not wanting the crease the Woven bands and prematurely wear them out, bending the band to buckle and unbuckle makes me cringe a little. No problem with the Sport band.

The Woven bands do add a nice touch for a less casual look.

Exactly my issue!

I've been wearing my woven band during my workouts and haven't had any issues with it at all. The only time I notice it wet is after I wash my hands. I haven't felt it get wet after workouts yet.

I don't think it's sweat proof. I only wear the sport bands to the gym or to run. It kind of grosses me out to think about sweat soaking into the band. The sport bands are easier to clean.

I use my nylon when exercising. It doesn't get all sweaty like the sport band does. I think the nylon just breathes so much better. I think the sport bands are poo honestly.
