Use your head!
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Adjustable, Versatile
"Exposure generally top the list when it comes to innovation....and this headband is no exception.
It may only be a headband, but it adds another dimension to your Joystick......I bought the headband specifically to use my light for running, as a head torch. It does the job perfectly - no need to buy a seperate headlight for running, just get one of these.
It's quite a tight fit to get the Joystick into the loop, but this is reassuring, as there is no chance that it could come loose during activity. The band does make your head a bit sweaty, but as it's generally going to be used at night in the winter...it's not too much of an issue.
I also use mine for poking around in dark corners in the loft and around the house, and it's also great for camping, fishing, and lots of other sports I suspect.
Great item, great value."

This + joystick = brilliant head torch
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"I bought this headband to use my joystick for the Oxfam Trailwalker. 100km event which for me included about 10 hours of complete darkness.
The joystick was held superbly and the light you get is steady and wide. My light was brilliant compared with most head torches on the trail, which had very narrow beams.
Ran the joystick on low the whole time and it didn't go flat on me.
The headband is a great way of getting a second functionality out of the joystick. It's very comfortable and adjustable with velcro.
My band came with Exposure logos on it, not plain black as pictured. Great product."

excellent accessory
Pros: Comfortable, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Bought this so i could use my joystick for some night orienteering. I tried to bodge up my own headband for the light, but in the end it was easier and quicker to spend the £9 on this. Could probably make one up if you already had the materials etc, but for the price it works well.
It holds the light steady enough for my slow running pace. It can shine in your eye a little, but i push it up my head to reduce that.
I like it enough that i bought one for my dad too."

Grim Night Terror 2012
Pros: Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: didn't help run faster
"Bought this for the first Grim Night Terror which turned out to be a 6.6 mile snowy, icy event in complete darkness of the Aldershot Military vehicle test area. Worn on top a fleece hat with the Exposure single LED light it worked a treat. No hassle, no slip, just worked."

Looks better than the online image
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Expensive for what it is, but looks a lot better in real like as the one I received has EXP in red and white, in diagonal stripes around the band.
Nice and wide so it will not fall off easily.
Had to struggle a bit to get my joystick in, but that's understandable, you would not want your light to fall out!

Good Accesory
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, Lightweight
"Bought this on the off chance that it would fit the Diablo and not just the Joystick & Spark; fortunately it did.... just. Not essential, but if you want the brightest head torch at the bonfire, this is the best way to do it!"

Useful Accessory
Pros: Comfortable, Versatile
"A useful accessory for the Exposure Joystick - especially useful for job where you need both hands on the job!
The angle for the torch is excellent.
The Velcro join for head adjust is not as flexible as it could be.
Overall a really useful addition for my Joystick."

Joystick headband
Pros: Durable, Rugged
Cons: Unadjustable, Unattractive, Limited Color Choices
"I was thrilled to find this product as owned a joystick and began training at night.
Works well. Its essentially a band! Only slight drawback i the angle is not adjustable and if the torch is turned to brightest, the light shines in your eye!
I have not worn it yet without abeanie and think it will be uncomfortable.
Works though. Recommended!"

Good alternative to helmet mount
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"I wanted a different way of strapping the Exposure Joystick to my head so I could run or bike with it. This simple elastic strap does the job, the light is well balanced and does not slip off the head."

does the job
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Holds my non-Joystick torch well.
Have previously used a Nite Ize headband, but this improves on that design by virtue of the angled torch holder - I don't have to tilt my head forward to light up the ground immediately ahead.
Cost is still a bit high for what it is.

From bike to running
Pros: Comfortable, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: not cheap
"Having recently bought the Exposure Joystick with helmet mount I and been very impressed with it, I wanted to get more use out of it than just riding. The Joystick is light but I was still worried that the headband wouldn't be able to cope with the weight whilst running... I shouldn't have worried! The fit is adjustable, the feel is comfortable and best of all I can now safely go running in the dark! Slightly expensive for what is just an elastic headband but a worthy buy."

Make your joystick versatile!
Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight
"Whilst I think this should come as standard when you spend £150+ on a light, it's great for me as I cycle and run so I can turn my helmet light into a headtorch for running off road at night.
Being picky, it would be better if it was slightly narrower, more akin to a headtorch headband and I'd like to be able to change the angle of the light as it's sets at 20 degrees but I guess I can just move my head!"
