Default Headsets at High Speed?

How do you guys w/o windshields keep your headsets on at 100mph+? I have no windshield, and around 75mph the wind wants to slide the headstrap towards the back of my head and they don't feel secure. I was trying to think of some type of strap that goes over my forehead to keep it from sliding back, but I am drawing a blank. Any ideas?

Thanks!

We have the david clarks and I have the "speed" strap. They definately help. When I calld DC after we first installoed the headsets, they were very nice and sent the new head strap and mike covers at no charge.

This being said, with no wind deflection it is a bandaid fix. You will still have issues as your speed increases. Only other thing I can suggest is superglue to your head, but that has a few issues of it's own...

Lol! Thanks, I'll have to take a look at those. If they can keep them on in the 80-90mph range that would work great for me!

Thanks again!
