    I have the same problem... I use the Halo brand sweat band, specifically the one that ties. It has a yellow rubber strip on the interior side that keeps the sweat from my eyes. I like the tie version because I have control over how tight I like it be against my forehead...for comfort reasons and optimizing the function. Here's a pic. I found my at REI, about $12 or so.

    I sweat like crazy in my head and face. These work the best of any sweatband I've tried. Much better than a scull cap too.

    I think I must clamp my helmet on so tight (even more so since my crash) that it acts as a sweat band. I sweat like a pig lol. It only runs in my eyes when I slow down and stop. Then the sunblock runs in my contacts. Omg ouch. Idk... just keep riding... and faster (so sweat rolls back). Good Luck w your search!

    I use a bandana.Fold it into a triangle, then fold the long side over two or three times to give it bulk and add more fabric to absorb the sweat. my Bandana act as a poor man's skull cap.

    The downside with my bandana is that I need to go one size larger on my helmet.

    I think a Bondi Band is what I got at a race expo last year and I love it, too. I wasn't going to chime in because there's no brand name on it and I didn't know what it is.

    My problem is most headbands give me headaches. I can't take much compression on my skull. The thing is so light that when I bought it, I didn't know if it was going to do any good, but it sure does. It isn't an issue for me on the bike, between the helmet, evaporation, and the wind pushing sweat back towards my ears - but it sure is running, and that headband is great.

    I have the same issue with headbands causing headaches and falling off. But the Bondi Bands are light and they stay on. These have been really great.
