    When it's real hot, put a few ice cubes in a line along your bandanna as you're rolling it up, then tie it loosely around your neck. The ice melts and runs down your back and chest as cold water. Ooooooh yeah!

    Didn't read all the replies so maybe someone mentioned this but I wear a Buff headband. It wicks away moisture. I wear it low on my forehead to keep sweat out of my eyes.

    Welcome to the club!

    For shorter runs I'll usually just put up with it and use my sleeve to wipe my eyes but for longer runs I have a running hat that is specifically designed to wick away the perspiration and channel it along the visor........on really hot days I'll see sweat dripping from both sides of the visor (they're made by Chamipon systems and my tri club orders them a couple of times a year - I'd never seen anything quite like it before)

    I sweat like a pig, too! I manage it by wearing a bandana, usually in the "do-rag" style.

    It makes my nose run. How are you supposed to deal with that? LOL When running outside, I don't have a sweatrag or tissues with me....suggestions?:blushing:
    Carry a sweatrag and tissues?

    I have the same problem with sweating, no matter what I do. I wear a halo head band but I am definitely going to check out that Headsweats baseball cap. Sometimes I wear a baseball cap and I looked at it the other day and it has white swear marks all over it. Kinda gross!

    I sweat a lot when I run. Head sweats so much it drips off the bill of my hat I wear For the most part the hat keeps it out of my eyes but some times it would be nice to have a wrist band. I might start doing that myself

    Nike running hat-i literally wont have any drips down my face, it's great. Very lightweight and doesn't make your head hot like a regular ball cap. I think i got it on clearance for 15 bucks.

    What a great thread, thanks OP! I sweat insane amounts when I run, cross train, anything really, like rivulets running off me everywhere. I hate it and why I sweat more NOW than I ever did when I started out all fat and out of shape is beyond me, but this just gave me some great ideas!

    I sweat a ton when I run and especially with this summer, I can count the runs I have finished and not been soaked head to toe on one hand.

    I normally just wipe with my hand but I sometimes will wear a headband. I prefer sunglasses over a hat or visor so headband is normally the way to go.

    Bondi bands!!!! They have some really cute ones with great sayings. I have one that says It's All Good and one that says Are People Chasing Me. :)

    I usually wear a baseball cap, but it needs to be washed OFTEN! I will check out the Bondi bands....thanks for the idea!
