The new Xenith X1 helmet's shock absorbing discs release air at varying speeds according to the severity of impact unlike traditional foam inserts that perform identically in any situation. The helmet features a flexible, vented casing embedded with these specialized shock absorbers, and aims to greatly decrease potential damage to the head and brain so players can do more damage all the way to the end zone.
thanks lee!

i got a concussion during my first football game and i think showing this new helmet to my high school will help me get back in the game and keep everyone alot safer
I have worn this helmet as part of a testing program and I will tell you that it is the best helmet I have ever used in my 10 years of football.
The adaptive fit technology is amazing. I have always had a problem fitting into other helmets because of the shape of my head. Most helmets are to tight in some areas and dangerously lose in others. The X1 fits my head perfectly. The disks distribute the pressure evenly across my head and it is very comfortable to ware.
During a hit, the helmet feels like a part of my body, not something outside of it. It provides great protection to the front of the head, which is one place that I have found is often under protected. The foam found in standard helmets, especially in the front, is very hard. The X1 is much more forgiving and comfortable to ware.
I recommend this helmet to any football player. I know that I will ware this helmet for the rest of my football career.
Thank you Xenith for this amazing innovation.
Where do I get one?
