Does anyone use any of the products like Headsweats, Halo or Gutters while riding? I HATE when the sweat starts pouring down my face and into my eyes/glasses. I purchased a Halo on Friday and used it on yesterdays ride. Within 10 miles or so I had sweat in my face and not long after that my eyes on on my glasses as well. The shop I got the Halo from recommended it over the Gutter but it didn't seem to work, at least in my opinion. Not sure if any of these really work but would love to know while I can still carry this one back since it doesn't really work...TIA!

I have a halo and I think it's gimmicky. I find the plastic band uncomfortable so I usually ride with it turned inside out.
I prefer the headsweats headband on hot days and the basic Pearl Izumi band on cooler days. Overall I think the headsweats gives you the most bang for the buck.

normally, I just use a sweat band. Works as long as you don't stop. Once you stop, seems the sweat just pours over the sweat band. Sweat in the eyes, it stings as much as sea water.

Halo - wear it a little below the helmet. Even on the most brutally hot days, I get very minimal drippage.

I actually prefer some of the thicker euro team headbands.. They have a little more forehead coverage and are thicker than anything I have seen in the US.. They work great.. I bought mine from a woman who sells older team issue clothing in Ireland.. She is a good seller.. She has several different teams to choose from..
