ok, as the summer heats up this problem gets worse. Each day I'm riding 10-15 miles of XC, or 20 miles of all mountain, or 30+ miles on the road...and the further I go the sweatier I get, obviously. I have a shaved head, so no hair sopping up the sweat & I always wear one of those headsweats head bands that's like a full do-rag with a tail down the back that's supposed to channel the sweat down your neck & away from your face.
But with the heat of summer, I have so much sweat pouring down my face it gets in my eyes & burns & stings & I can't see. If I hit a downhill section it literally pours out of my helmet like a glass of water. I've tried without a headband at all & that's a little better because the wind cutting through the helmet seems to evaporate it a bit more on bare skin & small more manageable amounts of sweat drip onto my face, but it still gets pretty bad on long rides. Are there better head-bands, or glasses that seal across my brow, or some awesome way to sweat less that I don't know about? or should I just get a scuba mask for when I ride in the summer?
