I love riding in warm ... even hot weather. Even uphill.

But what I don't love is sweat dripping into my eyes, which invariably happens. Any suggestions (other than riding in cooler weather)?

One of these, perhaps?

My cat lends me his:



Probably should cool it with the cat pictures lest I be soundly thrashed.

I also wear a Walz cap made out do wicking techy fiber. And if it get really hot, I turn the cap around so the bill covers my neck, and I pour ice water on it

I use a Halo head band, not the bandana. Head band works for me. I've also used a Sweat Gutr; they work, too.

I ride in the Florida heat and humidity and wear one of these.

I use a headband, think it's the Halo 1 Tie Headband, at least it looks like that. I find different helmets act differently with the sweat, too. I've tried the Sweat Gutr, and ultimately, decided it wasn't effective enough to be worth the bother.

Have always worn a red headband ever since I first started cycling.
The wind is in my hair as it should be.
Latest acquisitions have been Under Armour and I also wear them with my somewhat over-sized helmet (just snug enough with the headband) or without.

If it's cold I wear an old fashioned winter cycling cap that folds down over most of your ears, either under the bucket or by itself depending on whether I have to wear the bucket or not.

I wear a basic wicking poly skullcap unless it is very cold, in which case I wear something warmer under the helmet.

I ride with a Headsweat beanie also, but with the long tails. It works pretty well, but I still have to use the terrycloth patch at the base of my thumb on my gloves to do a quick wipe every few miles. Another advantage of a Headsweat is that the top of my had doesn't get sunburn anymore. Nashbar has been selling them for ten bucks this summer, but theirs are bi-colored. That's okay because I have a red/white and a blue/black/white bike, and their Headsweats come in red & white and blue & white. For really, really long rides in hot weather, I'll carry an extra to swap out. The wet one drys pretty quickly.

Bandana or HeadSweats skull cap plus a Coolmax headband. When they fill up and starts dripping, I rinse and wring them out and start again.

I had the same problem until I started wearing a sweat-catching Halo cap under my helmet.

I've sometimes added a couple of foam pads to the front of the helmet to add to ventilation on the forehead and to hold extra moisture.

Since I moved to Oregon, my biggest sweat problem happens in the late fall. The sweat that accumulated in the padding of my helmet over the summer will come dripping into my face with the first good rain. That salty water stings my eyes something fierce. One of these years I will remember to rinse the helmet out sometime before mother nature rinses it into my eyes.

Halo is fantastic! I would be wringing the sweat out of a bandanna 3 or 4 times during an hour and a half ride, sweat getting into the eyes and onto the glasses. Halo takes care of all of it! I prefer the ones you tie in back because I have a large head and the Halo II is a bit of a tight fit for me.

I also live and ride in Florida and I have been using a Wal Mart, generic sweat band that I picked up in the tennis section of their sporting goods department. I think I paid $3.00 for a package of two. They are nice and thick, hold plenty of sweat and make the helmet nice and snug. Never had one drip any sweat in my eyes.

I've found the solution but you might not like it. It's the "R" word. (See my avatar.)

I use the Halo headband. Works great with the foam strip preventing any leakage down my face. Works in the hottest weather. When it gets cold...oh yeah, it never gets cold here .

Another vote for the Halo bandana. Keeps the sweat out of my eyes.

Bikey Mikey

My helmet's bands do a very good job of keeping the sweat out of my eyes, but since I now also wear a wicking cycling cap underneath, I haven't found any issues. I used to use a headsweat's sweatband with a cheaper helmet, but don't use it any longer. I like the cap as the small bill acts like a sunvisor to keep my eyes(top gap of glasses) shaded, and a slight rain shield to keep my eyeglass lenses clearer.

I use the Halo year-round. In winter it sometimes serves as a mini-ear warmer, where I pull it down over the tops of my ears.

In So Cal its not as humid as the other parts of the States in the summer. Depending on how much you sweat and how long the rides you undertake, I would experiment first with something rather easy to get at the WalMart.

That towel is very absorbent and works for me. Size is 6.5" by 11". I fold in half and place it at the front part of the helmet, inside. On extremely hot days or big climbs when my core temps soar, the sweat still dribbles down but off to the side and away from my eyes. Other days, there is no sweat dripping down onto the face.

After the ride, I use that same towel to clean off the speedplay cleats. But only after using the park tools brush to get the small grime off.

I use bandanas with built-in sweatbands. This one is my favorite. It's very good quality and works well.

I have tried all of these. Unless it's really hot and humid, I wear a cycling cap. With the bill turned up, water usually drains to each side, and then down the back. When the bill is turned down, water pours of tip of cap at first, and then drips off tip periodically, but out of my eyes. Sweat Gutr didn't seem to work very well under extreme conditions. A Headsweat should probably work pretty well, but it's too small for my head. I bought one and ended up giving it to a riding friend. What I found that works best, is the inexpensive, wicking strip of long cloth that you tie around your head, ending with a fairly long tail at the back. The sweat moves by gravity to the back of your head, and then either drips or evaporates from the tail. Performance used to sell them in 3-packs.

Wish I could get a job testing stuff. I have 3-4 different weight balaclavas, endless pairs of gloves, and I've tried about every bib short available over the years.

Edit: Halo Tie sweatbands work, but way overpriced compared just tying a length of wicking cloth around your head.

I rub a little olive oil on my forehead and eyelids wipe off excess sweat just rolls off no more stinging eyes Charlie

OldTryGuy

Works for me also and I'm even a little south of you.

Don't sweat. It's just that easy.
