An Essential Sly Accessory?
« on: June 23, 2010, 10:09:15 AM »
Well, the dreaded HHH has elbowed its way into my life in the last day or so, and, after resting quietly in a drawer for nine or ten months, my collection of sweatbands begins to come into play.  A nice red one at the moment (to match my opulent robe, of course).  What do other Slys rely on to keep up with the drip?  Just let it drip?  Hat?  Bandanna? Sweatband?  Never leaving an A/C'd house?  Moving to Alaska for the summer? Or are you one of those "What, me sweat?" kinds who always keeps a cool, dry head no matter what the weather?

Do-rags for me.............. not all the time but often enough. Preferably the Harley variety.

Actually, what I've found (so far) is that my head sweats a lot(!) less since going SLY than when I had hair.

I don't sweat much, no need for special equipment.

At the gym, I carry a hand towel in my equipment bag.

Out in the sun, a hat. 

Otherwise, let it drip...

If I'm exercising, I just air dry.
Extended time in the sun, I'm wearing at hat.

Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

I'm not sure what's meant by "skullies," but maybe what's being mentioned is:

Bandana's (do-rags) for me. Always and forever.

Gee, everyone should be accessorized for the summer!  8)
Let's see:
SPF-30 with extra sweat resistance - check
assorted baseball style hats; some without team logos - check
(If I just like the hat and don't follow the team I hate it when someone comes up and says "how 'bout that game last night!" - and I have no clue what they're referring to because I didn't watch it  :*))
Moving, on... O:O
assorted sweat bands - check
favorite do- rags - check
OK, now what am I missing...?  :/O

Skull caps. They are thin knit caps that fit tight against the skull. HeadBlade sells some of them. They're just enough to soak up some sweat so it doesn't get in your eyes.
Definitely not "flat caps".

I know what you mean about team hats .I buy by color and not by team.
