Got my middle schooler one of them new Xenith X2 helmets. Some folks love em, some hate em. One thing for sure, studies are showing they are very effective in protecting the ol noggin.....My kid love it! Saids it's the most comfortable helmet he's ever worn. Saids alot of kids are complaining of headaches at practice. Most of them are using Schutts and some Riddells. So, we're gonna see how the X2 works out for him this season.
The only complaints I've heard of the X2:
1) Gets a little hotter than other helmets...maybe cause it only has 6 ventilation holes
2) you can't use your own chinstrap...have to use the built in one...which my kid actually likes.....
anyways,....just fyi.....
