Sweat control with new helmet?
I recently "upgraded" from an old Giro Hammerhead road helmet to a new =
Giro Eclipse. The improved ventilation and lighter weight is nice but sweat control is a bigger problem than even. The new helmet provides more coverage to the skull so there's no place for my usual sweat band. Also, the little built-in sweat pads are smaller than ever. Why can't helmets do a better job of sweat control? What do you do to keep the sweat out of your eyes? Ideas welcome. TIA lorendi |

Sweat control with new helmet?
In article ,
writes: What do you do to keep the sweat out of your eyes? What I do is grow lots of hair. But then I've got to use cycling glasses just to keep my hair out of my eyes. Hair is a PITA, itself. I'm jealous of all you bald guys out there. When I get my next paycheque, I'm gonna ride down to the barber shop[*] to get a haircut (weather permitting). The barber shop is about a 5 1/2 Km downhill coast away. And I'm going to ride there without wearing my h*lm*t. Call me an "organ donor" if ya want. I'd rather be a hair donor. cheers, Tom [*] Mario's, at Oak & 67th, Vancouver, BC. One of the last real barber shops in town (that are any good.) -- -- Powered by FreeBSD Above address is just a spam midden. I'm really at: tkeats [curlicue] vcn [point] bc [point] ca |

: lorendi wrote: What do you do to keep the sweat out of your eyes? http://www.headsweats.com/ I second that. I got my hair cut very short and I had major problems with sweat going into my eyes and all over the inside of my glasses. Then I got one of those Coolmax head caps and I hardly get any sweat on my face anymore. Highly recommended! --Noel |

A thin headband, like headsweats or something similar. I use the head sweat type stuff. -- Bob M in CT Remove 'x.' to reply |

I recently got this headband. I was quite skeptical, but the guy in the shop said it was really worth it. All it is is a piece of cool-max fabric that you tie around your head. It is thinner than most headbands and will probably fit under the helmet. Damn thing works great. Keeps the sweat out of my eyes, and keeps me cool better than the thicker headbands. I think it's marketed by Trek. -- David L. Johnson __o | You will say Christ saith this and the apostles say this; but _`\(,_ | what canst thou say? -- George Fox. (_)/ (_) | |

UTC - What do you do to keep the sweat out of your eyes? - dew rag. I use flannel clothes about 12x24 inches to both suckup the sweat and cover the back of my neck -- I hurt before the ride so fibro gives me a head start on the rest of the pack. silver lining? |
