That is interesting. I regularly remove the cheek pads when climbing in the [**7iDP**](https://nsmb.com/articles/dark-7idp-project-23-helmet/), or at least I was. It's strictly a park/shuttle helmet for me now that I'm in the Invader and I don't really/regularly do either of those things.
I simply hadn't considered doing it with the Kali as it's been comfortable enough even on hot days but yes, the pads are so small and snap out so easily why wouldn't you?! A great hack for the long climbs. Thanks!
I wish that Kali did a kid-sized (one smaller shell) Invader 2.0 as I'd have my daughter in one for sure. The Super 3R has been a great helmet but she basically always has the chin bar installed on trail so the extra breathability and simplicity of the Invader would be awesome.
With the XS pad setup in mine, it fits her head safely, but the small 3R has a lower profile.
