Sorry not the most pleasant of subjects.

I think I sweat more than the average person and looking for a decent recommendation to keep the sweat out of my eyes. Tried various headbands and skull cap type things but they either don't work or boil my head. Anyone got anything that works??

A smear of Vaseline on the forehead, above the eyebrows, is supposed to work

This is why I wear a cycling hat under my helmet. I have a couple but I'm sure an Asos one I have has mesh on the sides. I wear it on the warmest of sunny days and I dont over heat in it.

Try the line of Vaseline above the eyebrows and curved down at each side. It directs sweat away from your eyes and down the side of your face. I use this method all summer long with no issues.

Halo head band was the one for me... tried a few, but they were all pants in comparison..!

I think it was about £15, which is a bit steep but worth it as I have the same problem with ‘head sweat’... doesn’t matter how quick you go as the salts form and when you slow down it gets in your eyes and stings like f...

It has a ‘rubber’ strip on the inside, across the brow, so sweat travels along and down the sides of your face.

The vaseline works, just don't wipe it, as then you get sweat and vaseline running into your eyes. And that is horrible.
