TO OPTIMIZE FIT
The BAND™ is available in two sizes:
• S/M - for Youth or Women with head circumference of 17” to 20”.

The BAND™ can be customized to the exact size of your head.
For best fit:
1. Undo the Velcro® in the back of the BAND™. Place it on your head.
2. If it’s too big, turn the BAND™ inside out. Take the ends of the
pad out. Place it back on your head.
3. Use a pen to mark the parts of the pad that overlap.
4. Use normal sharp scissors or a straight edge to cut the excess. For
example, if the pads overlap 2 inches then cut 1 inch from each side.
If the pads overlap 1 inch then cut ½ inch from each side.
5. Turn the BAND™ out so that the Unequal logo is on the outside.

ARMOR UP YOUR HEADBAND
WHAT IT IS
The BAND is a protective headband that conceals Unequal's patented supplemental head padding that
is fortified with Kevlar®. The BAND™ is fully adjustable and can be sized for any head. The BAND is
3MM or 6MM thin.
HOW IT WORKS
The BAND conceals Unequal’s multi-layer composite within the headband. The composite has an
elastic deformation layer configured to deform upon experiencing the force from an impact and then
return to its original shape. The composite’s deformation layer may undergo elastic
(i.e. reversible – like a spring), or plastic (i.e. irreversible – like a crushed soda can) deformation.
"I recommend Unequal to anyone who is a high risk player or
wants to be proactive in their head injury protection."

body and/or neck injuries including paralysis or death a person might incur while participating in activities, games, or sports. Contact with a person, object, surface, or projectile can result in severe head, body or neck injuries, paralysis or death to You and possible injury to
your opponent. This contact may result in concussion-brain injury or severe bodily injury, which no helmet or body pad can prevent. Symptoms include: loss of consciousness or memory, confusion, bruising, redness, dizziness, headache, nausea, pain, soreness, discoloration,
numbness or tingling. If You have these symptoms, immediately stop playing and report them to your coach, trainer, and/or parents. Do not play or return to the activity, sport, game, or practice until all symptoms are gone and You have received medical clearance. Ignoring
this WARNING may lead to another and more serious or fatal injury. Unequal Products are not bullet proof, bullet resistant, stab resistant, or stab proof. Remember helmets and body pads do have limitations. They are your second line of defense. Obey the Rules and Code
of Conduct of your particular sport, game or activity. Being careful and responsible is your first priority. Use common sense and practice safe sports.
