Why are Hormesis Headbands so hard to get? Why is there such a cult following?

[@MichaelSaunier]

It’s scarcity and status thing. They look like grandma’s curtains

[@paintballnerd]

Grandmas curtains are tight

[@brandonmendonca2125]

They look great but cost way too much for me to ever consider getting one

[@paintballnerd]

At the end of the day you can buy a similar cloth for a fraction of the cost. People buy Hormesis because how they’re produced and who they’re made by.

That's what I said and now I have 2. One of them is the SE JT collab and that's why I bought that one. To each their own.

[@TrentDooley420]

What do you use to wash yours!?

[@paintballnerd]

I just throw it in the wash with my other paintball stuff, but I don’t care if it fades or anything. I have a few that I do care about, but those ones stay in the box. If it’s something I play with, it goes in the washing machine.

@@paintballnerd thanks!🤘🏻

"They've marketed them extremely well..." It's baloney that they can't make them fast. They are manipulating the price because they don't make many of them. Cheap labor in Indonesia. They can make as many as they want. Cost of material and labor is super cheap. Pretty ingenious how these two guys can sell a piece of fabric for so much.

[@paintballnerd]

They can’t be produced as fast as a sublimated headband, but I’m sure they could make more than they currently make. I agree it’s ingenious. They figured out how to use their name and reputation to sell a high margin product that many people value. That’s sound business right there.

It's no different than people buying the overpriced flagship paintball guns. Or like people buying Jordans or something. These headbands are special made. Not cheap Chinese made stuff. Yeah you can get a $10 headband but that's it it's $10. Just like Gucci stuff yeah it's a regular belt or purse but people will pay $2k for a purse just cause it's Gucci. You get me?

[@roadrashcash7270]

Great video. For anybody who sees this and wants a band. Join the discord. Just got 2 bands and a hutan hat this week from being on there.

[@BAGofTALENT]

these are the Gucci of paintball gear and im ok with it . If style didnt matter we would all have black guns and basic masks and jerseys but it does matter so if you want one buy it if you can't then oh well.

[@paintballnerd]

Good point

[@dsmtweaker]

You can make the exact same thing with a trip to hobby lobby and $4. It will last longer and work better, don’t buy into the hype

[@paintballnerd]

Maybe true if you have sewing skills

[@BAGofTALENT]

You can say that about virtually everything but if you want something cool and special you spend the extra money, I mean paintball definitely has a " it looks cool that's why I bought it " element so I say if you like it buy it and if not go spend $20 on a HK one and also enjoy it .

[@zacharyrobison383]

I have 0 ☹

[@evilwatermelon99]

bro we know you just made this to inflate the market with so you don't feel bad for wasting so much on a damn headband

[@efrainvillalobos9228]

Why? Because they are extremely overpriced. They aren't better than many others.

[@paintballnerd]

If people buy them they are priced correctly, I’d say. Yay capitalism!

[@BAGofTALENT]

With legendary paintball players like Lang and Fraige making something then of course people are going to want them, I love mine and like so many other things in paintball it's has a " it looks cool and is rare " element to it so of course we will buy it
