The suspension does make it ride up a little higher then the newer style of helmets, hower, this helmet will make much more a beating and vents better then the newer styles in my opinion

Wanted to follow up this question by saying that I bought the Ecrin Roc. Two things about it. This helmet does indeed sit high, at least on my head. I popped out one of the suspension webbing connections and the webbing is sewn together, so the height on which it sits on your head is indeed, as Bryan said, not adjustable. So, you're kind of stuck with how high it sits on your head. THAT SAID, I really like this helmet. The speed adjust wheels make it so fast to pop this thing on your head and turn the little wheels till it is snug. Clip the chin strap and boom, you're done adjusting. The ventilation is really nice and breezy in the summer, and the headlamp clips work perfectly. Some reviewers have said this helmet is heavy on your head, but once I put it on, its so comfy I forget I'm even wearing it. This helmet is a classic for a reason.

Yes it does. The suspension allows for this which in turn allows for more ventilation and a place to put a route map on an alpine ascent or to hide a beanie before you want to actually put it on.
