How do people stop sweat going in eyes when riding?
I wear cycling glasses on all my rides. At speed there's no problem, sweat dries quickly. When I slow down though (normally for a hill or traffic lights) sweat drips in my eyes and the stinging is so bad I have to stop and wipe them - which is very annoying on a steep incline!
I don't suffer when not wearing glasses, but then every flying insect thinks 'wahey!' and makes a bee-line (excuse the pun) for my eye-balls.
Does anyone else suffer with this? Anyone got a solution?
Cheers.

Off on a tangent watched the London tri on the box and surprised by the number of pros riding without shades, must be barking mad, one stone chip in the eye and blinded, just a thought.
I now find it a necessity in the summer after a brick session back in april, when so much sweat ran into my eyes on the bike that the whites of my eyes went blood red ... i dropped off the bike and went for the run , wondering why i was getting so many looks of dog walkers and walkers in general, my general thought being ' i feel good surely i cant look like i'm about to keel over' ... it wasn't until i got in and looked in the mirror in the hallway that i realised i looked like chucky or damien!!

Works really well and I look bad ass on the run!
Without it I simply cannot cycle.
SweatHawg is the only product that combines both aggressively wicking and absorbing fabrics. Works better than anything else once you clear the small initial hurdle of putting it in your helmet rather than on your head. SweatHawg is also concealed during use, under your helmet, so there is no aesthetic compromise to your appearance. www.sweathawg.com
good luck
