Subject: Best sweat protection for the eyes


I've been going crazy with sweat running into eyes and stinging them.
What works best to prevent sweat from stinging eyes? I know sweat
bands and bandana are options. What's the best material/brand for each
and between band and bandana which is better? I need a solution that
works on the bike too as I do triathlons.

I'll agree with the bandana recommendation, it can absorb a lot
more than the sweatbands. It seems most of them are made of cotton.

I'm a heavy sweat person and find the simple cotton bandana works just
fine. All of mine are made of some cotton material and never felt the
need to go look for some special tech fabric. Same for the bike but is
less necessary on open road with the wind. OTOH when I'm in granny gear
climbing a steep hill I need the do rag.

Sweat in your eyes?

Have the gentleman you're fellating take a shower before you begin.
