General discussion on Xenith helmets in the NFL subreddit
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... 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. I ordered 120 of them last year. Parents really love them b/c they just fit better, especially the odd shaped heads... As far as the chinstrap goes, you just need to have the extra chin cups on hand and they are fixed easily... I prefer Riddell its what I played in. I love SG but they are more expensive than other brands.

Helmet sizing question for Xenith
Tried on this helmet and it has a great fit and super comfortable, only problem is they didn't have the color I need. I'd give a 5 star review but here is the problem. IT HAS BEEN OUT OF STOCK FOR MONTHS. This is a great helmet, just wish I could get my hands on one...

Which helmet to get? Xenith vs others
Xenith are very comfortable and safe. Me and my brother have both worn xenith helmets and neither of us have got an concussion, and I play linebacker so I get hit a lot. When I put on the helmet it feels like I actually have protection. So overall I would definitely recommend this product.

Equipment recommendations for an 11-year-old
We have typically had Riddell, Rawlings, and a few X2s. Our kids didn't like the X2s as much, although we found that they were great helmets to bring to games as extras. Since all of the padding is built in, we felt it was much quicker to get a good safe fit, than searching for the right size helmet, jaw pad thickness, etc.
