Need to get lawnmower gas and will fill up the wife's car while I am at it. Going to try and avoid a nap if possible.

I may need to revisit the head sweats thing I've been wearing. It's not cutting it (though I'm unsure if anything will).
Oddly the sweat problem is much worse in my right eye. So I end up riding along squinting through one eye. It's a mess.

When it gets bad on a ride it seems to help some to rinse it out with the water bottle.

But the Gutr has a hard piece of plastic as a channel which I suspect is uncomfortable, while the Halo uses soft comfortable silicone.

I used a bandana the other day. It worked well but my head felt really hot. Does the halo help keep your head cool as well as absorb your sweats?

All this Halo talk got me thinking like
