Sweat and sunglasses

Got these the other day:

took them out on my spin last night but sweat from my brow kept rolling down and wetting the lense and was really annoying. Is there anything i can do to stop this?

also have to say my god proper cycling shorts are great. did about 200km last week without them as was waiting on my order and the difference last nite was unreal. much easier to sit down today!! but seriouslly much less vibrations from the bike

Quit cycling :P ... or you can try and wear a cap under your helmet.

that's because after 200km with no padding your balls have fallen off, hence your not feeling anything now anymore ...

Had this problem before. New sunglasses which sat further forward from my forehead solved it.

I have a good pair of race logic sun specks and while they are good chances are you will get a bit of a sweat drop now and again. Mine even have a gutter style top thats supposed to catch and roll the sweat to the side. With a certain amount of head movement they never stay flush to the face so I always get the odd bead.

so i guess its just a case of accepting it or trying to get tighter glasses. thanks

cotton cycling cap works great. Some vaseline over the eyebrows is another option.

Two choices. Accept the sweat or wear a cycling cap.

I have started to wear a cap, but on a really hot day, I cant wear it with a helmet, I really burn up. So when climbing (most sweaty) I take off the helmet and attach to the nahdlebars (using the brake cables as a basket), and just wear the cap.

Get Fitter!!!!!

A cycling cap is a good idea but sometimes sweat may stil drop down, best solution is you can get a sweat band (or ear warmer - thou not sure of real name) that goes just around your ears.

You can stil hear from them, so wouldnt worry bout not able to hear anything unless your riding bside someone you dont want to talk too ;-)

The irishfit guys have http://www.irishfit.ie/sweatgutrmain.html which looks like it could do the trick.

There is a third option: wear a headband. When running, I wear a Halo job I got on eBay. It's a fairly narrow, slimline band so it works well under my bike helmet too. (I also have a Pearl Izumi one but it's a wee bit bulky for bike use. It also cost about four times as much.)

On a hot day, I imagine a cap would be seriously uncomfortable, especially with a helmet over it.
