Well, this thread has certainly turned into Teh Awesome!
Here are some answers to various posts in here.....
I wear a Giro Atmos Helmet. (funny how that was the exact solution to the one guy's problem)
My jerseys are cheapo $30 ones from the sporting goods store. Not the Tour De France kind with all the logos, but just the plain solid kind.
My glasses were like $10. Not cycling specific, but they do not have rims at the bottom (I got them because I figured the sweat would just drip off the bottom of the lenses, but that isn't exactly coming true). Sweat kind of pools in the lenses.
I take back what I said about sweat on my face. That doesn't bother me. It's my eyes. There's sweat in my freakin' eyes, and no matter how much I HTFU, that's still going to be a problem.
Wiping the glasses isn't something I'm doing while I'm actually pedaling. But when I stop for a break or whatever, I try to clean them off before I start again. This is when I'm trying to use the bottom corner of my jersey.
To the people who can't ride in cotton......HTFU People! Jeez!

The only time I've ever had any problems with irritation against my skin has been with synthetics.
I may try wool at some point, but I have dozens of cotton shirts laying around and they work fine.

Maybe I'll start a thread about how cycling shorts also suck because the cheap MTB shorts I bought allow my stuff to fall out of the pockets. Once this thread stops being awesomely entertaining, I'll start that one.
