Aright peeps,
Just wondering what folks use to keep sweat dripping down your face and of course to keep the helmet a bit more hygenic?
I got 2 headbands from halfords years ago (about a fiver each roughly) and think the do a perfect job but cant seem to find them in the shops anymore....the only flaw they do have is when they do get soaked from my sweat (or washed).....they take ages to dry, which is weird for such a small item.
I want a couple more but wondered what others used?

Yep, I use a buff and pull it into a kind of bandana shape. Works for me, even although I've been described as looking like a gay pirate............

Never used one when it's hot, but use a buff when it's cold enough to freeze my ears.

I normally wear a thin buff in summer to absorb the sweat to stop it running in my eyes. It also acts as a barrier to insects as my Giro Monza helmet is lacking in insect netting.

I wear a thin skull cap no matter the weather. The wind around my head and ears gives me a headache. I take it off for a while at stops on long rides if it's really hot but put it on when taking off again.

That place has more altitude than I give it credit for. You nearby?

another vote for bandana here.. keeps my head cool even in this hot weather and stops the helmet getting itchy on my head.

Isn't this what the little cycling caps are made for? To go under the helmet and soak the sweat, noticed Cav was wearing one the other day.
