Youth halmets are for kids prior to high school, as for varsity are for kids in high school football level or hogher

The difference is obviously in the size of the helmet but also since their are shock absorbers in the helmet they take into account the weight levels of the kids. They younger the kid, they usually weigh less so the collisions have less force so the shock absorbers don't need to be so beefy. The varsity helmet is for high school aged kids so the collisions are greater so the shock absorbers are better suited to harder hits. You should look at the xenith website and watch the videos if you haven't already. Great helmet just get the right on for your kid

My 12 year old son uses the X2 youth medium and it fits great. He has been using it for almost a year now. Xenith has a guide on how to properly measure for your child so you can het the best fit

My son has a small head so I had to get the youth. if he can fit the adult I would get the adult. Not sure there is much difference.

I mean I don't think they are all the same size. I got the standard and it fits just right and I have a decent sized head. I wore a large football helmet. I mean I think they do make other sizes you can send it back and they will send you a bigger one or smaller one from what I understand.

since you asked this a few months ago - did you decide yet? :-) the reviews of the summit 360 single and double seem to have a lot of people who have had both. the 360 and xc are pretty similar. i'm waiting till a local store has the xc in person to try one. i have a bob dualie and now need a single - the summit seems to have a much less annoying harness adjustment system and takes a taller kid. if it really feels as solid as the bob i will probably go with the summit. otherwise i will get an old single bob as i don't care for the new bob at all.

Hi. Buy the zebra. The zebra is last year's item. The pony is new for this year. My son loved the zebra last year.(was 2 then) They are pretty much the same. Zebra is cheaper since it is last years model. Great bargain!

I bought mine for my 10 yr old so hard to say. The reason I bought this one was for as few times as she is on my sportbike and never at any serious speed I figured she would grow out of it within 6-12 months and didnt want to spend $150-$300 on a Dot an Snell approved Shoei or Agv etc. She has no complaints about helmet and loves that it fits and the colors.

The only difference's are the logo has been changed, and the shoulder strap no longer hooks in to the front using a hook. This is a plus and a minus, the plus side is it would be more comfortable for the child, the downside is the new design is a bit harder to get to and change the position, not that hard to do. The only other thing i've noticed is they have improved the buckle design. If you can get the older version I'd go with that as the price difference isn't worth it in my opinion.

I think the helmets are in kids. Because before i buy this helmet, i went to ski shop to test out how big i shoud wear. XL in the ski shop seems having some space for my head, but this XL helmet is really small. I need to push hard to fit in. :(

I don't know the answer to your question. The helmet that I purchased hurt my son's head, so I returned it and purchased a better one. Lucky Bums is the cheapest helmet available. I would recommend you either 1) buy a better quality helmet (like Smith) that fits better, or 2) rent a helmet at the slopes.

The difference is the quality of tire and the puncture protection. Sport is the low-end with 2x the puncture resistance. Next is the Deluxe with an additional Durastrip puncture protection. Finally, you have the Elite Urban which has an Urban Armor Casing protection. You can see the differences from their website: http://www.freedombicycle.com/project/thickslick/

We have tried the NxtMile Youth Sport Insoles and they worked immediately for our son. They are made specifically for youth and for each sport. You can find them at: www.nxtmile.com. I'm not sure if Amazon carries them yet, but I hope they will soon.

I would buy this one. I was in the same situation as you and decided he would only get bigger. He would outgrow the small ones within months. The youth ones are quite a bit smaller. My son's friends have the youth ones and they like my son's better. Good luck:)

I would go with an adult size. One difference between youth and adult is the length of the straps. With an adult size you can shorten the straps, but you can't lengthen them on a youth size.

Not positive which model I purchased, my daughter used it for one season. The chin cup was never an issue on the field. Great for building confidence.

I have had my Vilano for 1 year now. For a first bike, and for the purpose that you have mentioned, I believe that the Vilano would be a better choice. The aluminum frame of the Vilano, verses the steel frame of the Schwinn Varsity, should result in a slightly lighter and more responsive bike. For triathlon riding, one thing to consider is the location of the gear shifters (mine are on the handlebars). Are you planning on installing handlebar extensions, or put on special triathlon handlebars? If so, you will want to make sure that the location of the gear shifters will not be in the way (since I'm a road bike rider, and not a triathlete, I don't have first hand experience in installing these type of bars). Although Schwinn does make good bikes at the high end price level, one must keep in mind that the Varsity is their bottom of the line product. See if you can find out the weight of the two bikes you are considering. That should help you in your decision.

Depends on head size. Youth helmet is for 22 1/2 - 23 1/2". Don't know what the adult size is. Doesn't matter the age; I am an adult and would need to get the child size for myself.

The youth fit my daughter up through 14U. Don't know about the varsity size as she stopped wearing one.

From what I can tell the XLN is a newer model of the same line. Looks like performance wise they are identical. the XLN seems to have a lower NOX level but water heating capacity are the same.Here is the XN on the Rheem site:http://www.rheem.com/products/tankless_water_heaters/84_tankless_series/technical_specifications/and the XLN:http://www.rheem.com/product/tankless-mid-efficiency-tankless-mid-efficiency-84-outdoorchecking the Specs/Docs section shows that information. Hope that helps!
