What do you do to deal with sweat blurring the inside of your glasses? Do Jawbones or Radar's resist sweat as well as Oakley claim? Do some helmets work better than others? Any sweatbands that work?
Sweat in glasses ?

I periodically stop and wipe them off with the hem of my sweat-soated jersey. It doesn't solve the problem but it does get all the streaks lined up so they're going the same way. 
Our long club rides typically make rest stops at country stores, so I always clean my glasses while visiting the bathroom. For rides that don't have such stops, I'm going to try carrying a strip of toilet paper in a snack-size plastic bag.

I've never had an issue with it. Perhaps it's because I wear a bandana under my helmet....not sure.

I sweat at the drop of a hat......but I LOVE cycling in hot weather.
I have Radars, BUT I have the lenses that have the vents on the top of the lens. This "vented" version is MONEY. It completely helps with the heat-fogging situation.
If yours are not vented this will solve your issue.

My problem isn't fogging but drops onto the inside. Don't know if vents would help that or not. I did pick up a gutr today so will see how it does tomorrow.

I use a Halo on warmer days, which seems to mitigate the problem a bit. You're still going to have the sweat that forms below the band, but that isn't quite as much as what comes off of your head.
They are like $12 at REI, so it isn't a huge expense. Give it a shot and see if it does the trick for you.

I use the Oakley Radars, and they really do resist moisture as well as they claim. After I saw Andy Renner on Competitive Cyclist do the Sharpie test on them, I pulled mine out and did the same. It really does work. I also have Oakley M Frame Pros (Sweep Lens) and Oakley Juliets. The Radars deflect wind around the eye a tad better than the M Frames, but the moisture resistance is a lot better.

Based on the occasional comments from drivers and others, I don't think Gut'r's will add to any cyclists dorkinessCreakyknees said:

I used my husbands Underarmour skull cap the other day. It worked great and helped keep my dome cool as it wicked away the moisture. I looked ridiculous (helmet off) but it worked, and I obviously ride with my helmet on so there was no fashion faux paux. lol.
