I put a liner in my helmet. Partly it soaks up sweat, partly it keeps the sun off my balding head, and partly it's an extra layer of protection in case any insects get caught in my helmet. Once I was out on the MTB and came home with a stick sticking out of my helmet, and because of the liner I hadn't noticed it was there.
