me too but once i get past that 4th or 5th mile - my shirt (at the neck and arms) is too soaked to be of any use.
i'm about to buy a ballcap or something with some of that "dry fit" technology...i usually run on a treadmill but as the weather starts to cool i want to start running trails and I don't want to carry a towel...i feel like i've tried everything else but a hat.
Are you wearing dry fit shirts now? I've got a couple and find that they work pretty well. The sleeves seem to stay pretty dry. I might be wearing a somewhat looser fitting shirt that you though, don't know. Anyway, they don't get too wet on me and I run outside.
Would wearing a hat just make your head sweat more?

yeah i alternate between t-shirts, dry fit shirts and tank tops.
the dry fit shirts are typically to "slim fitting" to pull up to my forehead though. maybe i need to invest in some baggier dryfit shirts.
the hat idea-i was thinking of finding a way to trap it before it hits my brow...like, it would stay up in the hat or something.
There is not much that can be done. For me, running is just one activity where I seem to find it difficult to keep sweat out of my eyes. Perhaps running with you neck held at a higher angle might help keep the sweat from falling over your brow? There comes a point when I think you've just gotta soldier through it.

Like when you're running at least your head is constantly at the same angle and its not flying around everywhere but intother positions you've gotta move around and sometimes you're down sometimes youre' up and things juts don't stay in one plkace. Maybe if you run with your neck held high and faster you can keep it from flowing down the front of your faec, but for other acticities, man your'e just going to have to wipe it away unless someone has figured out teh secrets. If so I would be interetsted

I wish I could fit this in my sig. Awesome.
And wait...why would people not wear a sweatband during sex? I'm so confused.
Maybe a sweet bandanna? Preferably with an American flag pattern. Doc is the queen of thread titles btw.
I don't think a hat will help much. I usually have a small towel with me and it does a decent enough job to where I don't feel completely uncomfortable. I also wear a long sleeve dri fit type shirt and alternate between the towel and just a quick wipe with my forearm or bicep part of the shirt.

That's what I was going to suggest. A ball cap would probably work best if you don't like the headband route.
My head sweats like crazy when I play baseball (especially since I shaved my head) and my baseball cap works great, other than the fact its soaked by the end of the game.
