Abstract: An improved traction sweatband includes a flexible collar for fitting onto the head of a wearer. The front of the collar has at least one aperture formed therein. The aperture or apertures each have a circumferential edge extending completely around the aperture. A flexible resilient sheet or sheets are mounted to the back surface of the collar so as to cover each aperture in the front of the collar. Each resilient sheet is mounted around the circumferential edge of its corresponding aperture. The mounting of the sheet to the circumferential edge is adapted so as to draw the sheet against the circumferential edge and so as to urge the sheet into the aperture to thereby bow the sheet into and across the aperture.
