I am looking for some helmet advice. I purchased an XL omp star helmet, whilst the helmet itself fits my head rather well I find that the positioning of the neck strap is too far back and combined with the large quick release buckle it is digging into my neck and my adams apple, restricting movement up and down, making left and right unconformable.
Has anyone else got this helmet and experienced similar? Any recommendations as to alternative helmets?

TIA!

That is the correct position for a chin strap on a helmet, that is to ensure it can't be pulled off.

The strap isn't done up tight in that photo, can lift the lid up almost an inch off my head before the strap stops it
