I don’t know about any of that, as far as I’m aware Brad/Kali are interchangeable.
I do know there are limits of what you can do with shaping helmets while using softer materials. That’s why their vents are usually more square and their less expensive helmets usually have fewer vents than competitors.
They’re also doing some really neat stuff with limited issue lids with artist graphics (linked in the article) so that tempers what you’re saying?
Anyway, as noted in the piece, I fully recognize that dressing for mountain biking is performance art. I think the Invader looks good but others are welcome to disagree.

Also, as to the China comment. I actually do, in my life, actively try to avoid purchasing products from the PRC, but that’s all but impossible at this point if you want to own a good mountain bike lid.
Put another way, what non-Chinese-made helmet are you wearing?
