Tunnel Vision Sweat GUT'RTexas company Tunnel Vision has developed what it calls the "ultimate sweatband solution". The descriptively-named Sweat GUTR uses a unique lip to channel perspiration out to the sides of a rider's face, and away from your eyes and glasses. The GUTR easily adapts to fit with most helmets and head sizes, and the stretchy and soft PVC material is said to be completely hypoallergenic. As odd as the concept may sound initially, pro riders have clearly taken notice. The Rite Aid and Team Orbea professional squads are both already using the GUTR in competition, and Team Jelly Belly is currently evaluating the product. In addition, according to Greg Thurmond, Tunnel Vision's VP of sales and marketing, the company is also trying to break into the world of mainstream professional sports, such as basketball, as well as industrial uses and multiple application patents have either been already granted or are pending.  Your friends may make fun of you for wearing the Sweat GUTR at first, but you can laugh at them later as they’re incessantly wiping the perspiration out of their eyes and glasses during the ride. Pro riders on the Rite Aid team and Team Orbea are already using them in competition, and the company reports that others plan on following suit.

Or better yet if we could have other alternatives like these ones. But personally, I'd prefer what Butch had dug up... Well, it's just a matter of preferential exuberance...  |

Right Tofi,
prevents sweat from getting into your eyes. I use the Nike runner's headband, its material is similar to the drifit material (whatever that is) which is much thinner compared to the towel material, so it fits better under your helmet. A bit price though, P700.00, but works great!

sir pazigrider, it's available at xtrain, the sister shop of all terra. there are two models available, the headband and the bandana. got the headband for P750 because it's cheaper and i'm thinking the bandana might interfere with my helmet... juni'm also having problems with sweat getting into my eyes - so where could i buy the halo sweat bands and how much |

Wow! Good for you, guys!
Mine (GUTR) will be around midst of October together with other goodies! ;D
Ride inspired!
Have to edit my earlier post such as adding something: To my surprise, at current forex rate halo should be a bit lower than what I've learned from you, guys... Seems like Halo's local price is good enough to buy a GUTR Sweatband... Got it @$14.99 a piece. Just sharing...

Thats a problem not using a full head cover. The support foam inside the helmet will smell and ruin with sweat. So I really recommend with this kind of headband. Dont get me wrong, you can replace the foam with extra denero or just invest a full head cover and wash them after ride. just my 2 cents. |
