The front is padded to help wick moisture and keep sweat from rolling down your forehead and into your eyes. The material wicks the sweat from your head and helps keep you cool.

What separates this helmet linear from most is that it is not bulky or restricting on the head or ears. It is kept tucked up inside the helmet.  There is no excess material hanging down below the helmet line, flapping in the wind or covering your ears. Its value is in, that there is not a lot to it. So it may not be your first choice when trying to layer up on a cold day. It provides more comfort and cooling on a moderate day or if you plan on riding hard and need help to keep from overheating. 

After you use it a couple of times you will find a helmet linear is part of your regular biking gear.

Gregg Geser and Kara Calmettes (50+ group) were the fastest mixed team (all age groups) in the recent Furnace Creek 508, an annual 508 mile race through Death Valley and over ten passes, with 35,000 feet of climbing. We are proud to be able to say that a SweatHawg played a bit part in this remarkable adventure. Definitely NOT a “no sweat” event, but maybe a no sweat experience.

His response surprised me. “Nah, if they get too bad I just… (big smile and a gesture of removing his glasses and throwing them over his shoulder)”.

Some racers, proud of their indifference to suffering, seem contemptuous of the suggestion of relief.

“If you’ve ever had a problem with sweat running into your eyes or glasses while working or playing hard, we’ve got the best solution,” says company founder John Rahm, who came up with the SweatHawg helmet liner when he couldn’t find bike headwear that would fit invisibly in his helmet and stop sweat from staining his glasses. 

Sweat production during exercise ranges between a quart and a gallon per hour, and Rahm is one of many at the heavy end of the range.  Noting recent record-setting heat waves and other trends, Rahm anticipates demand for his next-generation sweat control headwear solution to grow, among outdoor laborers as well as athletes:  

–Approximately six million hard hats are sold in the U.S. annually.

–In 1977, Americans took 1.27 million trips by bike; by 2009 this number had more than tripled to 4.08 million.

–Along with the growth in cycling is a growing need for UV protection in an aging population.  Men in their forties have a 40 percent incidence of male pattern baldness, in their fifties a 50 percent incidence, etc.  And cycling helmets leave gaps where the sun beats down on bare heads.

With its flagship helmet liner product selling briskly—the 500^th unit is expected to ship soon—SweatHawg will introduce a head sweat band later this fall, bringing its patent-pending head sweat control technology to runners, tennis players and other athletes.
