If you have medium to long hair, put it in a semi to low ponytail, then slip the headgear on and pull your pony tail up and over the back strap then re-tighten your pony tail! You might need to re-adjust the top straps and maybe even the back strap.

If that dosen't keep it secure enough, you can buy Sleepy/Bret's Pap~Cap & Chinstrap Combo at http://www.pur-sleep.com for $39.99. I bought it and now I just use the cap, not the chinstrap and it totally keeps my headgear from sliding all over my head!

Goodluck,

i had a similar problem. I've had good luck with helmet liners, actually. I got a couple at REI which are designed to be worn under bicycle helmits. They were less than $10 a piece, and they work great. Hope you find something that works!
