how do you help sweat from getting in your face while riding?

I've only been riding about a month. When I sweat a lot it gets in my eyes and causes blurry vision temporarily. How do you keep from getting sweat in your eye or running form your head down? I wear a sweat band under my hat during the summer months. Beads of sweat still occasionally filter down into my eyes but it's much better than without a sweat band. SMH |

I'm a big fan of Halo Headbands. They are made out of a wicking fabric plus they have a little rubber strip located along the bottom of the band that acts like a gutter to direct the sweat towards the back of your head (and away from your eyes). See: http://www.haloheadband.com/products.html They're a little pricey, but worth the money. -- Paul D Oosterhout I work for SAIC (but I don't speak for SAIC) P.S. Nor do I speak for Halo Headbands! |

I like the feel of cotton or some kind of cotton blend better for some reason, but I did buy a couple of the polyester kind and tried them before giving them away to friends when they started riding. |

Halo also makes a "do rag" style band (the Halo Protex) which I wear during cool weather. -- Paul D Oosterhout I work for SAIC (but I don't speak for SAIC) |

He could also yell at you with his nasty little squeaky voice to "go faster faster boss". Jamffer |

Take 2 showers a day, one before the ride and one after. I know this sounds silly but I have real oily skin and taking a shower before a long hot ride decreases the residue that can be washed into your eyes by sweat. I don't get blurred vision and keep riding if only one eye is affected, but closed due to the sweat and the burning. If my other eye gets affected then it is time to get off the bike and rub down the front of your head with something dry. In my case it is usually the front of my shirt or a little rag I carry in a pocket for the occasion. If you ride and it's over 60 degrees, you sweat. Last year I found myself climbing mountains in heat over 100 F, and sweating a ton, so not even the shirt thing worked. For this trip I was in full Fred mode and kept a dry towel in the back rack, along with a 1 gallon thermos jug of water, which did get drank. Figure out what works for you and let us know. It's a pain in the eyes but great for your body. Bill Baka |
