Drybrow Disposable Helmet Liners Launched

Drybrow Disposable Helmet Liners Launched

Okay okay, it’s not exactly the weather for this sort of thing, but it arrived in the collective ST inbox, and we thought it was worth sharing… witness the mighty Drybrow!

Essentially, this is an absorbent, self adhesive liner for your helmet. No idea where they got the idea from. But you peel back the self adhesive bit, ‘discreetly’ attach it to your lid, and shred safe in the knowledge that your eyes will be unencumbered by sweat, and it’ll not drip off your nose, no matter how much of a salty faucet you normally are.Screen Shot 2016-01-29 at 15.07.33Once you’ve finished riding/perspiring/wearing your helmet, you simply peel off the (now presumably sweat-replete) drybrow, and replace with another one when you’re ready to ride again. No more smelly bacterial buildups in your helmet! Win! They cost £6.99 for 10, and they are apparently also effective against goggle-fog.

What do you think? Good idea? Are you particularly sweaty? Feel free to vent in the comments! (see what we did there?). We imagine the advert might have someone on rollerskates, for some reason.

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

  1. Isn’t this what the padding in helmets is already there for? The padding you can remove and wash after a ride anyway?

    I get sweaty head even at this time of year but I can’t see this being a better solution than what I already have.

  2. Presumably these have been thoroughly tested, possibly using glass beakers of blue tinted water for some unknown reason.

  3. Just stick the helmets own liner in the washing machine every so often. I usually do it just before and after a summer mtb holiday. Then maybe a couple of times through the year

  4. Let’s overlook (or not) the wastefulness of a panty-liner for your head, which will doubtless end up as trail-side decoration. What’s wrong with just washing the fitted liners? works for me.
