Summer cycling headband or skullcap

It seems lately I've been having more issues that in the past with sweat in my eyes and on my sunglasses. Therefore, I'm probably going to try a headband or skullcap and was wondering if any of you use one. If so, what brand and do you like it? I've also seen the Gutrs, but am leaning towards just a thin headband or cap. I want something super-thin that's really not noticeable under a helmet.

I don't always use something on my head, but when I do; its either an Adidas skull cap or a Under Armor skull cap. Both are heat gear so they do a good job of letting my head breathe while the sweat is wicked away. The only issue I have with them is that they squeeze my head pretty bad. This in turn has led to headaches on occasion. If it isn't blazing hot, I do have a team BMC cycling hat which I wear, but it doesn't breathe well so I could end up overheated if I am not careful. On super sunny days, I have to wear something because I end up getting sunscreen running into my eyes.

I have a riding buddy who swears by Halo headbands, but i have yet to try them.

Thanks! Halo and Craft are the two brands I have looked seriously at so far.

Ride faster, and the sweat will evaporate.

Or it will kill me...I guess either way, I won't need the headband.

I like a simple Willie Nelson style rolled up red cotton bandanna.

REI - $3.00 "http://www.rei.com/product/246097"

You're gonna have to copy and paste that URL ... TwoSpoke isn't constructing the link properly
