My solution to the problem is to wear a sweat cap underneath my helmet. My head remains cool enough even in 80 to 90° weather and it prevents the pads in the helmet from becoming completely saturated. I've even been able to increase the life expectancy my older Specialized Air Force helmet whose pads were beginning to disintegrate from the helmet being put on and taken off.
