How to solve a sweaty helmet ?

So I appear to be the only person who finds buffs really far too warm in all but sub 5oC

Put a bit of vaseline across your eyeline-sweat will go around the eyes.

Skull cap here. Oh and chuck the lid in the bottom of the shower with you once a week in warmer weather.

Then it'll smell of wee though.

I think I really need a buff now and the bandana look will convince my wife I am indeed having a midlife crisis

You have to be a bit careful...

I use headbands rather than buffs to keep the sweat out of my eyes - a warmer one for winter and a cooler / smaller one for summer. Despite starting to recede ad develop a bald spot at the rear of my dome, I have thick hair, so it is like wearing a hat most of the time anyway.

I bought a Halo headband for last summer, which was very good at stopping sweat getting in my eyes.

two choices buff up, or (and my personal fav, have you seen a dog shake water off? do this from the shoulders up, thus giving,your fellow pelaton riders the benefit of a refreshing shower, bound to be appreciated

Yep definitely just winter kit for me too. I've pretty well given up on for this winter now, I'll only be wearing it as a bandana to embarrass the kids until November or so now

And put it on your eyes if you want the world to appear dreamy and soft focus

That, Andrew, was very funny!

The point about a wicking buff is that it actively takes moisture away, and the evaporating bit cools you down. I also have a cotton zandanna but it doesn't work as well as polyester, it just gets clammy.

Yes, it washes out very easily and has a clever bit of plastic to direct the sweat away from the eyebrows.
