Keeping sweat out of your eyes - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

I have a big problem with this on longer, hotter rides. Sweat gets runs
into my eyes or onto my sunglasses. I remember seeing a product
advertised that was a loop you wore around your forehead and down your
back; the idea was that sweat would run off down your back that way.
Like a rain gutter, in essence.

Does anybody know what this was called, and where you can get it? Or
have alternate techniques for coping with this annoying problem?

What about an old school sweatband, as worn by overweight squash players
everywhere?

A cotton cycling cap works for me.
