Xenith X2E+ Youth Football Helmet (Medium, White)
The Xenith X2E+ Youth Football Helmet is a medium-sized (head circumference 21–22.25 inches) white youth football helmet with a grey XRS-21X facemask, designed for tackle football players. It features an Internal Shock Matrix and single-stage shock absorbers to reduce rotational and linear impact forces, along with an air-filled fit system that provides a secure fit without external pumps. Reddit users consistently report excellent fit and comfort, especially for odd-shaped heads, and note it reduces headaches compared to other brands; however, some mention the integrated chinstrap must be very tight and ear pieces may cause discomfort if not properly adjusted.

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.

Coach feedback on Xenith X2e+ fitting issues and chinstrap concerns
We bought 60 this year, some kids liked them others did not. 2 biggest complaints were the ear piece cuts their ears ( had a bunch that cut theirs), other was kids don't like to have to have chin strap SO Tight... The X2 is one of the 5 star rated helmets. Our entire youth league has them... Parents really love them b/c they just fit better, especially the odd shaped heads.

Coach discussion comparing Xenith X2e+ to Riddell and noting maintenance issues
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... My Riddell Rep... couldn't say anything negative---gave a couple of the 'negatives' that he hears, but no helmet companies are flawless.
