Cycling headband to keep sweat out of my eyes

[Animo]

It's the salt in sweat that irritates eyes.
Water can get time to evaporate, but salt remains on the skin, and accumulates.
You don't feel it, but throw some bottle water on your dry forehead when back home, and a whole shitload dissolves in the water and floods your eyes.

What worked for me, though it may read far-stretched, is metal, as ehm heatsink, to decrease transpiration.

At times sun feels "hard", I put on a cap that I put some foil in the front part, and it made my forehead transpire way less.
A polyester t-shirt: I cut out a piece of foil, folded over the edge around the circumference alike they do for seams in clothes, and with needle and thread here and there 3 loops, just to hold it in place at the inside of the back of the shirt. It was end of sticky and heavy wet back of t-shirt.
My bike shoes: at work, from a pair worn written off work security shoes, before throwing away I molested the soles off, there are sole-shaped thin flexible steel sheets inside, to prevent sharp objects going through the sole. With a sharp knife I cut off the adhesive on it, bare blinking metal, and just laid these in my bike shoes. Bare skin on bare metal. And bingo, end of wet socks that show white salt drawings, end of sore feet. Despite hours feet even come out nearly dry. The shoes was were I got the idea for aboves 3.

Less transpiration = less salt = less irritation.

As an added bonus it also keeps out the 5G brainwaves.

A few weeks ago I had an eye operation and was banned from riding the bike so as to avoid getting sweat into my eye which might cause an infection. My surgeon relented earlier this week provided I use a sweat head-band, so I zoomed off (in the car) to Sports Direct - yes, I know! - and bought two Slazenger branded ones for £6.00 the pair.

They won't fit under my normal helmet but I also have a very large helmet I bought by mistake (must be made for some cranially deformed giant) and they fit that one perfectly

I normally ride with a cycling cap under the helmet but find it doesn't stop my sweat oozing down my forehead, behind my glasses and into my eyes. This has been worse since I bought a MIPS helmet; I guess the internal cage reduces ventilation somewhat.

Just take it easy. If you're sweating you're trying too hard.

I can safely say I have never been accused of trying too hard

I use a Halo which is good, although after a while it becomes saturated and I have to wring it out. I also wear wristbands, like you see tennis players wearing, which are useful for wiping my brow as I ride.

I have a Halo but it's quite snug fitting on my head so can be uncomfortable. Mostly I use a cheap DHB one and that's been fine
