    I use the Halo version with the plastic-y rubber-y strip in front that really helps keep sweat from dripping straight in to eyes. The strip will eventually crack, though. But they last a long time. My wife uses the Headsweats — I like how hers are in bright colors and sort of add some extra visibility from behind.

    All things considered, for a $20 purchase, they are worth it.

    Keep your eye out at end of season when Performance does their blowout warehouse sales. I picked up like 5 of the Headsweats for $2-$3 a piece in summer and winter weights.

    I have an UnderArmour Cold Gear hood/balaclava that is indispensable in the winter. That’s it, let’s think COLD today! :)

    I have one with the tail you speak of. Don’t really see a difference either.

    Does Dirt wear a sports bra all the time, or just on the pink bike?

    Only when his spaghetti strap top isn’t in the wash I believe :)

    My commute is super-short (1.6 miles each way), and I have good luck wearing a big loose cotton t-shirt: the wind gets underneath it and cools off my skin. The drag it creates wouldn’t be acceptable on a longer commute, but it doesn’t slow me down significantly.
