Any tips on keeping your sunglasses from getting drenched in sweat.
Since summer is over and I've put aside Kurts awesome umbrella remedy. Only issue now is I have to wear sunglasses again or my eyes will be bloodshot the next day.
I haven't googled this so maybe I'm missing something pretty apparent. But on the trail today I dang near wanted to mask my eyes with a thumb and indexed finger followed by a swift shot of right guard head on
Joe, you could also try getting one of Natives Dash line of glasses. They have a a kind of brim that presses against your eybrows and channels the sweat away. I also wear a hat and shades and don't have much of a problem.

My late 90's Killer Loops stood the test of time but the scratches finally prompted me to buy a new pair of sunglasses late May 2006.
Wow, what a difference. The ol' Killer Loops were great for staying on in high winds and keeping out 99.912% of any light but they also had me sweatin' like a pig on a Georgia hillside.
My new revo's have a top part that basically channels away sweat as Matt described. There is no bottom part so the airflow is sufficient to keep from sweating inside or fogging up.
To put it simple.
I went from wiping my glasses every two minutes to maybe once a mile or two.
Only issue now is the new pair is polarlized. When I look through my camera lens I jump back everytime cause of the polarizing filter. The two combined are like looking into a spotlight kalidascope!
A mountain biking friend turned me on to them. I wear the sweatband in the summer and the skullcap in the winter.
A little pricey but worth every penny in my book.
The "sweatblock technology" really works. I never have to wipe my eyes. I do have to wring out the sweatband occasionally
