Fits great

christopher e.

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

Uncle in MD

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 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.....

Community Q&A

Is the Xenith X2E+ good for preventing concussions?
Yes, it has a 5-star Virginia Tech rating and includes adaptive shock absorbers designed to reduce impact forces.
How does the integrated chinstrap work?
The chinstrap is attached to the helmet's suspension system, providing a snug fit but making field repairs difficult if it breaks.

Yes, the youth version uses ABS plastic shell and lighter weight, making it ideal for young players.

Compared To

vs Schutt Vengeance A3+

The X2E+ is lighter and offers better adaptive fit, but the Schutt has a more traditional chinstrap and adjustable inflation system.

vs Riddell SpeedFlex

The SpeedFlex is considered the top-of-the-line but is heavier and more expensive; the X2E+ is a solid alternative with comparable safety ratings.

  • Equipment for 11 yr old discusses X2E+ comfort and price

    Most comfortable helmet is the Xenith X2E+. My son had a Schutt Vengeance A3+ and it was fine, but he said the Xenith just feels better. It's lighter and the fit system is amazing. Only downside is the price.

  • Which helmet to get? recommends X2E+ over Schutt

    Between the Schutt and the Xenith, I'd go Xenith X2E+. The adaptive fit is a game changer. My kid tried on both and said the Xenith felt like it was custom made for his head.

  • Lighter helmet for a kid discusses X2E+ weight and safety

    Xenith X2E+ is the lightest 5-star helmet out there. My son had a concussion last year and we switched to this. No issues since. He says it feels like nothing is there.

  • Which football helmet should you buy? highlights fit and chinstrap issues

    Xenith X2E+ fits great for odd-shaped heads. The chinstrap is a love/hate. Can't be replaced on the sideline easily. Have a backup helmet ready.

  • How do you feel about Xenith helmets? confirms safety but notes maintenance

    Xenith helmets are great for safety but the chinstrap is a pain to fix during games. If it breaks, you need a whole new helmet basically.
