Received mine today! It's perfect. Even comes with Velcro tabs to work with any helmet.

Thanks again!

Thanks Adrian, we have about 25, it is the Sierra Madre Search & Rescue team. Once I get mine I will show it to the team & see how many want them then give you a shout out.
Appreciate your offer.

Hi Adrian, got it in the post today - excellent thanks! Put it in my new Petzl Elios - it fits a treat. Went cragging with it and it worked perfectly. Link on UKC as promised!

I got mine (thanks Adrian!) and tried it a couple weekends out in Joshua Tree. Because of all the strips of plastic that hold the forehead band into my helmet, I ended up just sticking the fabric strip onto the forehead band directly without folding over. It's very comfortable and though I wasn't sweating that much it did keep my eyes dry. One added benefit is that i didn't end up with the weird marks on my head from wearing the original segmented foam forehead cushion. Thanks again!

Received mine from them and tried it out last weekend. Worked great. Was in the sun most of the day and never had sweat in my eyes. Would definitely recommend this product. Super easy to clean as well.

Got mine a while ago and finally got out to try it.

Used it in a Mammut helmet using the velcro on the front of the band and folding it down.

It worked great for both sweat and cushioning my head from the strap.

Thanks again Adrian.

got mine as well, i attached it via the velcro directly to the forhead cushon of my Petzl helmet. It definitely makes the helmet a bit more comfortable!
In practice it did seem to reduce sweat in my face a bit, however we are leaving the hot season here in AZ so it might not have been the best test quite yet. Because of the cloth, i am sure this would also have the added winter benefit of making the helmet a bit warmer as well! Thanks again Adrian!

Great to hear and thanks for taking a pic.....What model Petzl is that?

For sure mid summer AZ is the big test and happy to say many mountain bikers from AZ, TX, FL, GA, LA and many others reporting the Sweat Buster working amazing well for them in 3+ hour rides.

Also for those that have them now keep in mind they work great in any shell or harness type helmets like hard hats, welding helmets I even use one on my optical visor for comfort. We have a Mod Kit II for harness helmets.
