The Sweatband is a thin cloth band worn around the forehead. It is a sports accessory worn mostly for its look. It sits in the hat slot.
The band weighs only 0.1 and stays on the head well. It gives just a touch of warmth. It is a common find in laundries, gyms and changing rooms. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Sweatband keeps the head only very slightly warm and blocks almost no wind. It suits warm weather and an athletic look. It rarely falls off when the wearer is hit or knocked down. That makes it steadier than most cloth hats, such as the Summer Hat or the Fedora.
The band fills the hat slot, so it takes the place of a helmet. A survivor who expects heavy fighting may want a helmet instead. It cannot be worn with a hooded jacket, a hooded sweater, a full head covering or a full suit with a hood.
