Eyebrow sweat mucking up my glasses, how to deal?
I suffer from a condition commonly referred to in the salon/hair care community as Brezhnev brows. If I was to trim them it would be considered deforestation.
Seriously I suffer from a large amount of sweat pouring down from my eyebrows onto my sunglasses and ruining them for the duration of the ride. Wiping of the sweat produces mediocre results at best as it just smudges it all over the place. Stopping and cleaning is pointless as it will just happen again and its impossible to get them very clean on the road. I got one of them fancy aqua pads on me helmet and it does help a tiny bit. However sweat still drips down and is soaked up by my brows before splashing onto my glasses. I am not there yet and I doubt I will ever be obsessed enough with cycling to commit to clear cutting the old growth forest. I have tried the eyebrow trim attachment on my mini manscapper and no dice. Does anybody else suffer from this? How do you deal? Pluck, thread, trim, wax, scorch, tape, controlled burning? How about goggle/glasses defogger spray or Rain-X? Last edited by CampyorBust; 04-09-2016 at 03:08 AM. |

About every 6 months I light mine on fire. It's quick.

My hair guy takes care of them along with any unwanted ear hair ( all of it?) when I get a trim.
Hate to hijack your thread, but wat about riding glasses choice affecting brow Drip? I had a pair of natives that acted like guttering keeping most swear from dripping into my eyes. Now I ride with Scott pivlocks and whole o love them, they don't channel sweat like my old natives did.

From what I understand the Frida brow and Brezhnev brow are similar but two separate conditions. In exceedingly rare occasions an unattended Brezhnev brow can eventually lead to a full blown Frida brow. |

You could get one of those Air Attack Shields with built in visor, lots of brow clearance.
My issue is that my eyelashes rub against the lenses and...hmm, I guess I have dirty/oily eyelashes? Ew. ...oh, and I have a NIB Pivlock V2 that I've been too lazy to list for sale in case you need 'em. |

+1 this is a glasses problem. To check this, try a ride without glasses. Does the problem go away?
The wind should be flowing around and behind your glasses and evaporating all the sweat on your face when you are in motion. Definitely keep your habit of riding with glasses -- they provide eye protection from flying stones, UV, etc. But get glasses that don't block evaporation. Edit: Orrrrr a helmet problem. Do you sweat a lot under your helmet? Is your helmet well vented? Again, all the sweat on your head should be evaporating when you are in motion. Last edited by dgauthier; 12-20-2015 at 03:02 AM. |

Simple solution: Halo headband
Works very well, even in hot and humid St Louis. They have tie and no-tie versions. It has a little rubber strip thingy on the back side that also helps keep the sweat from pouring down. http://store.haloheadband.com/ |

I will try without the glasses today. However I can feel the sweat pouring down my forehead from my helmet. The aqua pad is designed to channel away sweat from the eyes. I have a Lazer Helium with plenty of vents in it. I am doing a lot of climbing right now so buckets are being sweated. Quote:

The hair on my legs has migrated to my ears.

I had this problem many years ago. Not so much anymore, and I don't know why. Anyway, back then, I would get some of that thin foam weatherstripping from the hardware store (self-adhesive on one side) and use scissors or an x-acto knife to trim it just right to fit inside the upper edge of my glasses. Kind of like those old Oakley Aviators, in a way. When I'd put the glasses on, the foam sealed against my forehead/eye brow area and forced the sweat around the outside or down the nose-piece of the glasses-- effectively preventing the over-glazing of the lenses.
