Fits great
I bought this helmet for my son and it fit perfect. He loves it especially with all the padding inside. All the other helmets he tried on didn’t fit too good
Helmet that saved the season
Ordered this helmet for my nephew who is in GA! With the pandemic this year he had to get his own helmet in order to play. Having just moved there from Texas finding one was hard. Ordered a white helmet to match the teams color. Also had to order a facemask to match. Came quick and was an absolute perfect fit. He said the fit was better than the temp Riddell helmet his coach was letting him use. Got this as it rates high on the VT helmet list. Nephew it barely feels like he is wearing anything on his head. Will definitely look to Xenith again if he or any other player I know needs a helmet.

Tried one on and love it
Tried one on at a store and fit better than any helmet I've ever worn. Only problem is they have been out of stock for a looooooong time and I just want to be able to purchase one.....

Coaches and parents share experiences with Xenith helmets including X2E+ for youth
We are almost exclusively zenith. Kids seem to like them. They are kind of tricky to fix during the game. Also because chinstrap is connected, if something happens to that you basically need to change out the entire helmet. We bought 60 this year, some kids liked them others did not. 2 biggest complaints were the ear piece cuts their ears, other was kids don't like to have to have chin strap SO Tight.
Comparison between Schutt Vengeance A3+ and Xenith X2E+ for youth football
The Schutt Vengeance A3+ and Xenith X2E+ are two helmets trusted in the football community. Both have been designed with the needs of youth players in mind. The Xenith features its innovative Adaptive Head Protection system, which uses single stage shock absorbers on a floating suspension system to conform to the exact shape of your head. The Schutt helmet uses TPU cushioning and an inflatable SUREFIT liner.
Concerns about Xenith X2E+ chin strap and ear comfort for youth players
My only concern is the chinstrap issue like some others stated. If it breaks or pops in the game, you have to have another helmet to replace it. Don't like that part of it, but certainly seems like a good helmet. X2 in the youth helmets have a crown adjustor under by the forehead no idea about the adult helmets. Its the inner black pads that are Velcroed on. They also have interchangeable ear pieces. The coaches that talked about the ears digging check the helmets for the crown adjustors that will help the fit.
