    Free: Sweat Gutr

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    So I bought this late last summer and it was a waste of money for me. It came with high recommendations, but it doesn't work for me. Sweat still gets in my eyes and I can't adjust it just right to keep that pesky sweat away from my eyes.
    I wore it three times in the fall and once today (just to give it one more chance). I'm done.
    I cleaned it with hot soapy water and rubbing alcohol- so I'm pretty sure it's germ-free.
    If you want it, let me know and I'll send it to you.
    USA addresses only, please.

    It's the frost colored one:

    Sorry - this made me laugh after reading your other post.

    Hope you find something that works!

    My sweat waterfalls have increased in the last few years. It never used to be this bad. Hormones maybe? I *wish* panting like a dog helped.

    My helmet seems to keep the sweat out of my eyes while riding. But the minute I take it off... where's that towel?

    I find the best thing for me is the Halo bands or my buff. Still sweat gets down but minimally. And then if I stop I push on my helmet (with head leaned over) to release some of the sweat from the pads. Living in the south does have it's challenges!

    I actually smear vaseline around my eyes from eyebrows to the (not-)bags under my eyes, because I actually get a rash if I don't. Every single outing. Anybody else allergic to their own sweat?

    I seem to be getting a gross heat rash from sweating. I don't know what to do about it...the last couple of days, when I commuted to work on the bike and therefore was not able to wash my face, I swabbed down with tea tree oil wipes I got from Trader Joe's. Don't know if it's helping yet...at least it's not gotten worse.

    Yep, it's eczema. I started getting it my first Summer running. Ever since then I've worn a wicking headcover of some sort to help. I can't do the silicone Road ID bands, either--I get eczema under those.
