Cycling cap with the bill down and fans. Sweat is still streaming down the face but not in the eyes. I also started wearing gloves and sun sleeves. It beats constantly readjusting my towels over the bars and wiping it down. They are also more convenient than using a towel to wipe down the face every 5-10 minutes.
Outdoors I wear a bandanna over my head under my helmet (originally because I could never get helmets small enough to fit before the days of ratchets etc, but I never over heated and it helps keep the helmet clean). When I started training regularly indoors I quickly started folding them over to make a sweat band. Someone else said it above, and I also can’t believe more people don’t use them! And of course a fan.
Washclothes and towels.
+1 for the gloves. They are the minor wipers, the towel is the major.
On the road, I use a Headsweats under-helmet thing. I have a white one that makes me look as though I had brain surgery recently, but it works.
Yeah, I always wear gloves on the trainer…and it is 100% for moisture management, not comfort. I used to get made fun of a lot back when I went into a training center to ride (The Before Times!), but whatever…
Another +1 for gloves (fingerless, unless it’s really really cold and an easy ride). I tried wrist bands at one point but it wasn’t as effective.
Same here. Cheap, tennis headband from Wal-mart.
Cheers for the Sweat Gutr lead, I got one and over the last few sessions its been a big improvement
