Kali Invader 2.0 Honest Review

Күн бұрын

The Kali Invader 2.0 full face helmet is an Enduro style helmet. I really like the way the Invader feels, it is super lightweight and very breathable. Kali also has a lifetime guarantee on the helmet, which I feel is great. It also has a range of fit instead of it just being a large or small type. This helmet ranges from large to extra, extra-large. Kali also uses their version of what a lot of people know as the MIPS system, Kali calls theirs LDL (Low Density Layer) this adds more protection to falls. The Kali Invader 2.0 is a great helmet and worth the money.

Thanks for your review bro. Looks like a great helmet for Arizona. Even though it’s fall season now, it’s still warm here. I’m looking for a full face helmet that’s light & doesn’t get too hot. Now I’m just figuring out sizing on the helmets. Appreciate bro. Have a good one.

Awesome, sizing can be tricky. That's one reason I liked this helmet, it goes from large to XXL so it won't be hard to figure out. Thanks fpr watching.

Im surprized that the ixs trigger is actually lighter. I just ordered it. If it doesnt fit then i'll give this Kali a try. Great review.

35 helmet vents, pretty sure it has the most out of everyone ive researched. Will make a great XC and trail helmet Hell even though it lacks the DH(too many holes in rear section) certification, I'd trust it more than any DH rated convertible helmet. I think the LDL is better, its also an evolved version if thr 360 spin that leatte uses. Can't wait till Kali releases a NTA8778 full face(invader 3.0?)

The LDL blue nibbles look really small and it looks like there's not enough all around? I wonder if they really create 30% less damage on low impacts. And if 30% is even enough to prevent a possible concussion... If you look at 6D helmets you'll see a helmet that truly delivers but it's significantly bigger, about twice as expensive and probably less breathable. I see many systems evolve into similair concepts but we should be skeptical at what we expect from them if you keep in mind how those 6D helmets look. 6D will deliver a new enduro helmet next year and I can't wait to see how they progressed. In any case I ordered the Invader now to replace my IXS trigger FF. The IXS is breathable and comfortable for sure but just has way too big of a fit, cheek pads that are way too thin, and has NO low impact layer, which I feel is most important in preventing concussions. It also looks really worn after just one year of using it. So I'm looking forward to wearing something that for the least will fit me and still be breathable. And hopefully also will deliver on the lower impacts! Anyone knows what Kali protect is working on next? Would love a DH rated version of theirs!

Like others have claimed like KinetiCore and wavecell which have been shown to be false when these manufacturers have claimed to be superior. Take these claims with a grain of salt as mips with EPS and EPP has proven time and time again to be superior

So as far as wavecell, mips was the one that did the study of their product. So, take that with a grain of salt. But overall, it is up to the user. Most of these companies publish their studies, so... go with what you feel safest with. It's your brain. Stay safe and thanks for watching.

@chefgav1 9 ай бұрын

@MTBRideFree VT did thee study. Bontrager rally mips did heaps better in safety testing compared to the Bontrager wavecell. Only difference is the technology which proves MIPS is the better technology

What is the ear thing?

@MTBRideFree 2 жыл бұрын

It is a piece of wiring that runs to the back of the helmet to adjust it to fit your head. The wire runs right past your ear and could frustrate you. Thanks for watching.

I’ve noticed that a couple of time I tried that helmet. I bought the Kali alpine carbon instead. Not to bad when times are cooler, when I get my new bike think I’m going to give this helmet another try. Thanks

@@MTBRideFree Stages by TLD, just a superior fit for me. I think (as a guy who wore a helmet every day for most of 32 years , the Kali is needing a re-design of the interior retention system. a bit thicker padding. For example the V2 retention twist system goes directly on the nape of the neck, all the padding from V1 sits behind it doing nothing. and those straps that come forward over the ears , for me every time I took the helmet on and off I had to monkey around with them to get them both the same feeling, and when I did that were never comfortable . I think he needs to add a second liner of padding for the skull coverage in a thicker design to help offset the Bucket feeling, it's a deep shell design. Check pad options were nice for custom fit. fix those 2 main things and he would have a functional flexible to fit helmet. IMHO.
