I use a special sweat band that has many, many small tubes built into the cloth. These tubes are
arranged much like some motorcycle exhaust pipes (4 into 2 into 1 etc. but starting with much bigger
numbers!) and get larger as they become less in number (starting off at capillary size). It finishes
up with 2 tubes at the back, that enter another 'arrangement'. This arrangement works like a basic
carburettor, and uses the air flow (there are 2 small 'scoops' that attach to the side of the
helmet) caused by the bike moving forward to 'vacuum' draw the moisture out, to where it drips down
onto the floor behind you. This works exceptionally well, and I never get sweat blinded.
These are not available in the shops though, as I designed and built this myself - sorry, but maybe
you too could adapt this idea?
