Helmet too low	Can't Post

I have a Giro Borea helmet (was the top of the line a few years back). It seems that it is always too low on my forehead my riding in the aero position. This puts extra strain on my neck as I have to look up to see far ahead. I payed with the Roc Loc setup but not much luck

Any recommendation on other helmets that are "high in front" ?

Thanks.

Don't worry about it. Helmets worn low look cool. Helmets worn high look uncool.

**all these words finding themselves together were greatly astonished and delighted. For assuredly, they had never met before**

The Giro Pnuemo (sp?) was actually well designed for this. It has a nice cutout in the middle/forehead section, this helmet does have a tendency to crack at this spot if you are tough on it (dropping it, tossing it carelessly into the car.......)
