My head starts sweating when I just look at my bike. Even on winter rides I can soak a bandanna. Maybe I should stop eating haberneros.

A. This made me laugh out loud. (It's funny 'cause it's true for me, too.)
and
2. I am definitely going to order at least one skullcap and one headband and I will report back with my findings.
Thanks for the info and the giggles.

I've been using the Nashbar branded Headsweats bands for a while now, and while they are certainly better than nothing, after 45 minutes to and hour of riding, I still get sweat dripping into my eyes and onto the lenses of my glasses. Just got a Halo a couple of days ago, and it is a bit better than the Headsweats but I still got sweat on the lenses this morning. OTOH, I was pushing pretty hard--managed 20 MPH average on my 20 mile flat to rolling course, a barrier I've been trying to crack for a while. Tried the Headsweats skullcap but found that it tended to slide around under the helmet which made it really ineffective, perhaps because my head is still fully equipped with hair (please don't hate me because of my still functional follicles!
).
).
