I took the pad out of mine and yes it does sit lower. But I dont know about taking the straps out for that I am in the same boat as you.

Is it still comfortable without the pad?

I have had the pad out of my N6A for years now and it does ride lower and fits much better. I have done it to both of mine and love it. now I am in Ohio so just have experience with the Sam Houston but imagin the concept is the same

agreed, take the pad out but don't touch the straps. there should also be a plastic "ribbon" type band that runs around the straps at the brim of the helmet. I did take that out which takes some tension out of the suspension straps and lets it sit even lower.
