It is really annoying me getting sweat in my poor eyes.

I will let you into a secret, the best sweatband for any helmet is, a little embarasing but extremely effective, have a word with your good lady (if you have 1) and ask her for 1 of her sanitary towels, stick it to the forehead strap on your helmet, with the absorbant side of the pad towards your forehead. you will not get a better sweatband. I passed this idea onto 1 of my biking mates because his glasses kept steaming up when riding, he has never looked back.

Try it you will be impressed:thumbup:

Brilliant. Can't wait for the Petzl Tampax Vent to hit the market!

I think it would be less embrassing to just put a nappy on your head

I dread to think what you do when you have a nose bleed ed

You may laugh, its the future, the idea actually came from an old tree surgeon mate of mine who swore by itn no spotty foreheads from sweat rash either.

As for the nose bleeds, thats where the tampax come in but the string gets stuck in your teeth

I was always taught to carry one as a cheap and easy alternative to a large wound dressing. They seem to fit better in the chainsaw trouser pockets too. Never thought of one as a sweat stopper though.

According to a guy that was 'in'. It's the only thing that worries the SAS - who is going into a shop to buy some tampax? they fit bullet holes.

 

Single guys be careful buying tampax - you may get sold a lawn mover - old joke:confused1:

 

working in oil tanker engine rooms sweating 2 gallons/day I used to use a large J- cloth worked fine, change it every day no rash probs.

 

ok tampax may work fine for sweat but you will lose 'man points' if spotted:thumbdown:

I just wear a buff when its hot, its washable and fairly cheap and can be used all year round as it doubles as a neck warmer in witner
