As Bikeless, I use buff in the cooler months and it keeps me cozy. I tried wearing it during the Australian summer (or what we had of it..) but if it went above 30c on my riding days i overheated and became annoyed..
So, on the v hot days i used my ground effect head bandy thingie...and for cooler days i used the buff thing.
I sweat and get rather annoyed at it dripping onto my glasses as they then fog up...Not much fun when going downhill over rocks n stuff...

I've been wearing my Buffs year 'round here in the Washington, DC area (we have extremely hot/humid summers) and they are great at sweat absorption.

I learned a trick many years ago for keeping sunscreen from sliding off of my forehead into my eyes - also caused by sweating. Maybe this will work for you too. I put lip balm on my eye brows, and it helps prevent sweat from sliding into my eyes.
Hope this helps you too!

Similar to what Denise says, I've heard that if you put KY jelly over your eyebrows, sweat can't get through.

I use cycling caps or a headband, though I've found recently that the caps do a better job of keeping the sweat out of my eyes without overheating my head like a headband can.

Several of my friends & I use Headsweats year-round ... they have a sweatband sewn in at the bottom & are made out of Coolmax material which helps wick away the sweat. I also have one of their hats for running or after riding ... works really well!

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'm going to look at all of those things (headbands, etc.) and see what just might work for me. It isn't REAL bad until I stop....then it runs in my eyes and I cry
Okay, I'm off to go biking, my favorite thing, with my dear husband! Gotta get at least 20 miles in today before the sun goes down!!
