Headband

Don't dismiss these 80's relics. They work excellently at keeping the
sweat out of the eyes during those long summer rides.

I used to work for a medical/surgical supply company.

One day they got a marketeering pamphlet in the mail
from a company trying to sell Barron ligators. The
pamphlet even had a picture of their application.

Janice, the office grrll opened the letter, called
me over, showed me the picture, and said: "Oh my God,
look at what they're doing to this guy's eye!"

Bald guys shouldn't wear sweatbands.

I miss that job, and I daresay I miss Janice.


cheers,
Tom

You need the Halo headband. It has a strip of rubber that directs the sweat
off to the sides instead of letting it drip into your eyes.

It's an updated and vastly superior version of the plain sweatband.

I haven't tried those. I gave up on conventional headbands long ago.
They just soaked with sweat, then dumped it blindingly in my eyes. In
fact, it seemed worse in some ways than having no headband, because it
kept sweat from evaporating.

For a long time, Then I tried some plastic, non-absorbent headband
that was claimed to work like a gutter, channeling sweat back down
one's temples. It didn't work for cycling, because when I ride, my
head tilts forward. It dumped in my eyes too.

Maybe that Halo band is better, but I've decided a traditional cycling
cap does a great job, better than anything I've tried.

I saw that add for the plastic headband, but this Halo idea really works. It
redirects the sweat outward.

I tried headbands and they do drown your eyes in sweat.
For me the cotton bandana works well.
The helmet vents keep evaporating sweat off the top.

I'd like to second Pat's recommendation for Halo sweat bands. They
really work well in hot humid conditions.

Personally, I prefer the Halo bandanna mainly because it keeps the sun
off the rapidly expanding bald spot on the top of my head. See:
