Tennis Head and Wrist Bands Make a Comeback!

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Tommy Haas and Mardy Fish are but a few of the players making theirFederer Fish Open   presence known on the tennis court, not just for their games but for their trend-setting head and wristbands.

Forget the hats and visors. This spring it all about bands -  headbands and wristbands. They have become the fashion statement in their own right, coming in all sizes, shapes, colors and logos.

Remember the old Bjorn Borg days when wristbands were to actually wipe sweat.

Not necessarily so anymore. 

Look no further than Mardy Fish — If you're looking at his wrists you won't see any wristbands. Fish, like  a growing number of fashion-conscious NFL, NBA and college football players — and countless kids who emulate them — wears his wristbands well above his elbows.

For Federer and Nadal, color coordination is the key — their head and wristbands match their ensemble.

Next time you hit the courts, take a play from the top pros fashion playbook and get a band on your game!

Maui Jim Kapalua Offers Up Ultra-Light Sport Shades

944497 The Maui Jim Kapalua is the pinnacle of Maui Jim's ultra-light sport designs, these hingeless wrap-around sunglasses eliminate glare and keep the sun out with the Maui Jim PolarizedPlus2® technology.
