I thought about doing that, but also think I'll fill up the headband. :) I'll have to give it a go the next time and see if that works. I agree with functionality over look.

I tend to sweat a lot generally, so I started wearing a under armor skullcap. It helps keep my hair down too, so it fits in the helmet better, and it keeps a lot of the sweat at bay. Sunglasses can also do a little to protect your eyes

wow, nice ideas! Thanks!

I'm gonna have to go to the Under Armor store to check out the skull cap thing. I love UA stuff. And, the integrated sweatband sounds interesting too. I have been thinking about that.

I have been dripping sweat into my current shades, and then I really have to stop to clean them off so I can see again. But, if a different pair will help....

Maybe I'll do all of the steps...It may require that. I tend to sweat just thinking while sitting on the couch, in the middle of winter, with the AC on. :) Ok, slight exageration, but close. :)

Longer hair has worked for me. Used to have long hair, no issues. When i hacked it all off shortlike, sweat in my eyes all the damn time. Long hair again now and no issues.

Or wear a running hat under your helmet, thatll wick the sweat out to the brim and not on your face.

Try a Sweat Gutr. They're amazing. One should last you a lifetime. I wear mine both for running and biking. Since I started using one I've been able to keep my sun glasses on for an entire ride. I wear it just below the front helmet pad and no longer have the problem you described. They're way too expensive for what you get in my opinion but I'd also have to admit that it really works. I can't remember what mine costs but shortly after I bought it on line I was at a large biking tour event where the manufacturer had a display set up. He was selling them for $10.

Plus it keeps your head from getting sunburned, if you're "balding" like me.

I'll second this. They work wonders. I use a Halo band for my trainer work, but dont liek the way they fit under a helmet. Skull caps trap too much heat for my tastes.

I forgot to preface my advice with...I'm not from AZ, so I don't deal with the extreme heat as often in Cincinnati...however, I still think the skullcap should help

And if not...you could always just wear it for style...I think it adds at least 4 to your intimidation factor in almost any situation...and it looks good with sunglasses (Note: black skullcaps are much more intimidating than white from personal experience...haven't tried the other colors)

I do have a black skull cap, and I even forgot to shave today, so with the shades, the cap, and the greater than 5 o'clock shadow, pretty intimidating! :)

I almost thoroughly soaked the cap this morning (only 60-65 degrees), but no drippage into the eyes. I'm eager to see how it performs this afternoon...I'm hoping it also dries before then too! :) It'll be in the low 90's on the ride home today, so I know I'll be sweating uncontrollably! :)

The ride home went beautifully! It was like I wasn't even sweating at all! :) Good skull cap! :)

I have thought about an on board cow lick...actually stealing my horses' salt block may be a good idea... :)

I will probably order a sweat gutr too, just to test it out in comparison.
