What I love about Veo Strip: Training year-round in a very hot and humid climate, I love that Veo Strip keeps the sweat out of my eyes during the sweatiest months of the year.

Anton Korolev
Hometown: Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
Sport: Cycling
What I love about Veo Strip: Veo Strips provide me wiht a minimalistic and easy sweat diversion solution for a hardcore sweater like me!
Bio: At 6'11", I am almost certainly the highest point on any cycling group ride. I bring a truly unique perspective to the cycling world not just through my height but through the specialized gear required to keep me rolling. From my custom 32er wheel bikes to my size 19 clipless shoes, my setup is a testament to the fact that cycling should be accessible to every body type. Beyond the technicality of my gear, I am a dedicated content creator. I use my platform to capture the raw energy of the cycling lifestyle, from the grit of the climb to the camaraderie of the group rides. My goal is to showcase the vibrant, inclusive local cycling community I’ve helped build and to inspire others to find their own lane.
As a big guy, I’m also a super sweater! In the past I’ve relied on headbands to keep the sweat off my eyes, but with Veo Strip it’s been a game changer. With Veo Strip I don’t worry about oversoaking my headband that is going to be drenched rag on my forehead. I slap Veo Strip on before every ride or even my hot yoga sessions, and it keeps on working the whole session.

Hometown: Florida / Kentucky
Sport: Running
What I love about Veo Strip: I believe I came across Veo Strips online and am so thankful I did! I can “see,” and feel the difference, that’s what they are all about - to improve my performance! I sweat in all seasons during my activities, and now they have to be part of my running/workout gear!
Bio: I’ve been married to my hubby for 35 years, blessed with two beautiful adult children, and our little 15 year old schnauzer, Henry. I have always loved running, however, my reasons have changed and evolved throughout the years. My purpose for running is physical, mental and spiritual elements that bring out an inner strength! That strength grew confidence, which allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, experience more than I ever thought I would achieve as a runner, and more importantly to become a healthier, more positive and energetic person!

Louis Maitland
Hometown: Hillsborough, NC
Sport: XC MTB
What I love about Veo Strip: Simple to use and very effective. I can keep cool and keep sweat and sunscreen from drying out my contacts, something I have struggled with for years before finding Veo Strip.
Bio: I grew up riding freestyle BMX and wished I had found racing sooner. I really enjoy training hard to see results on race day and challenging myself to long gravel and MTB rides when not racing. I have two young boys who are also starting to ride and even race, so race weekends are getting very busy!

What I love about Veo Strip: I no longer have sweat making my eyes hurt every ride.
Bio: I am a bike racer turned triathlete. I raced for about 10 years. I now coach cross country and soccer at the high school level. Being a teacher makes training look different, but the Veo helps with workouts whether they are 30 minutes or 4 hours.
