Does anyone use the GUTR sweatband? Do they actually work? I'm getting real annoyed at the sweat in my eyes, the regular fabric sweat band I used today got saturated and dripped into my eye - it wasn't fun, an I was hoping this GUTR thing actually works. https://www.sweatgutr.com/shop

I tried it and my experience was that you had to have it very tight to work even remotely well, which was uncomfortable. It also didn’t sit very well with my POC helmet. Not a huge fan.

I am a profuse sweater in Texas, and I seem to have a head shape and sweat pattern that GUTR works on. It's barely comfortable enough when I use it, but I prefer to not wear it unless i just know I'm gonna get drenched with my own headsweat.

I need something to deal with the Houston humidity - had to pull off a couple of times this morning because of sweat in my eyes.

My helmet has a built-in gutr band thing that is awful, it just dumps rivers of water straight over my sunglasses whenever I brake. I sweat a lot if I even stand near a bicycle, so instead I use a traditional cycle cap to distribute the sweat and wick it up to where the helmet vents it away. Works well and keeps all that moisture out of my eyes.

Yeah I also wear a regular cycling cap underneath my helmet and its great, completely drenched and crusted with salt at the end of the ride, throw it in the wash and done. A do-rag also works in a pinch, but the small visor of a cycling cap helps a lot in my experience. And also a great bonus, you also look like a dork even when you take your helmet off

Slap a thin sanitary towel (wingless) on the inside of the forehead part of your helmet, absorbs moisture and you just throw it away.

I'm a very sweaty person and can't ride without the Halo headbands. Definitely isn't helped by racing in aero helmets, but at least my races are super short.

I wear a buff or poly headband and they're both great for keeping sweat out of my eyes and blocking wind noise. if you're exceptionally moist you might want to bring a backup as they can saturate and leak during slow climbs

Trying to do a prep ride for an upcoming 500k so I gathered up some friends and went riding at 9pm yesterday. Found some of the most awful, bombed out gravel roads and rode around, up and down constantly, for 200k. Hike a bike through mud at 3am is an awakening. Got to see the sunrise as I ate a bagel, covered in mud, looking like a methhead. Love to ride bikes.

Still dumb though. To be fair the blink has a ton of extra battery life vs it being on all the time. I think it's something crazy like 10+ hours extra on my lights but they're just little lights to be seen and aren't making GBS threads out super high lumens.
