The chin strap my provider gave me, while adjustable and not too tight, does not breathe at all. I sweat underneathe and it becomes pretty uncomfortable. I have read a few posts about chin straps and done some internet investigation, but there seems to be a lack of focus / information on breathability.
Can anyone recommend a chin strap that is adjustable AND breathes?????

Not sure if this one is still around, but it was discussed awhile back.
I don't think it has neoprene in it.

I use a 3 inch non-adhesive Ace bandage. Looped around my head 3 times and secured into a loop with safety pins.
It's cheap and fairly breathable. Might be worth a try.

Another idea, though not a total solution, is to cut a piece of 100% cotton fabric and put it in the chin cup part as a liner (you don't have to sew it, just tuck it in place). At least you get some absorbency with that.

I tried this one and it didn't work for me and true to his word I sent it back and got my money back. So you have a 30 day guarantee to send it back and get your money back.chunkyfrog wrote:Not sure if this one is still around, but it was discussed awhile back.
