    Abstract: A finger-mounted moisture-absorbing device for use by individuals undergoing aerobic exercise such as long-distance running for wiping perspiration from the eyes. It is generally tubular in shape and formed preferably of a synthetic chamois sold under the trade name PLAS CHAMOIS. The tubular shape is formed from a generally rectangular sheet of moisture-absorbing material that is rolled to form substantially a circle with opposed outer ends of the rectangle in adjacent relationship.

The tubular member maybe enclosed at one end and opened at the other for insertion of a finger so as to enclose the entire finger.
