Apple is planning to sell a Belkin head strap that can be used with the Solo Knit Band Vision Pro for added comfort and stability while wearing the headset, according to a product listing spotted by EOZ VR's Brad Lynch (reposted by @M1Astra).
The adjustable band features a “secure locking mechanism for added stabilization” and provides a “precise fit for a wide range of head sizes and shapes.”
“Designed with an aesthetic that perfectly complements the Solo Knit Band, the head strap features a secure locking mechanism and additional stabilization points to keep the Apple Vision Pro in place even during vigorous movement,” the listing reads product.
The band will cost $49.95 on Apple's US online store, but it is not yet available to order. It is unclear when the headband will be released.
When the Vision Pro was unveiled at WWDC 2023, Apple showed someone wearing the headset with both the Solo Knit Band and the headband, and even offered the combination to members of the press when they demonstrated the device. However, this headband was never shown to the public. In addition to the Solo Knit Band, the Vision Pro comes with a Dual Loop Band, which has a pair of thinner upper and lower bands.

Some customers find that the Vision Pro still feels heavy on the face even with the Dual Loop Band. In response to this review, it appears Apple has partnered with Belkin to eventually develop a headband for use with the Solo Knit Band.
Update: The Belkin headband is now available to order from Apple's online store.
