With the bar ends, it's more a function of sweat dripping off other parts of my body since they are closer to the rider. It seems to go from my chin right on to the bar-ends fairly frequently. With brifters, the mechanism is much farther forwards so they seem to get less sweat. They do get the sweat off of your hands and arms, but none of the sweat off of your torso.
