Which xenith helment should I buy for my son, the youth model or the varsity model? What is the difference?

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 don't know anything about the other brand. I bought (3) pairs of this brand and I will tell you that my husband and two sons, ages 9 and 13 who are extra big (not heavy, just "big" kids) are VERY happy with the gear. Hope this helps.

Yeah for the XL one. If your getting these for one time use and then tossing them, sure buy something cheaper. But for heavy use in a school setting or an adult flag football league this is the one you want to get! They are tough and worth the coin.

I believe both models are physically the same dimensions. My son is about the same size as your older and the 650 is fine.

I am pretty sure that they are the same. We bought these on Amazon awhile back because we could not find them at stores in Canada but now, you can buy Speedo Swim Vests like these in Target stores for about $20 each. These helped our son with his swimming confidence. Just a reminder.. and you probably know this but these are not life jackets. You should still swim within reach of your child when they wear these. Cheers

I would go with youth large. My son is 9 and its a little big but enough room for growth, too.

Yes it's a youth helmet. However it will not provide contact protection. Ok to wear while tossing ball but no contact.

I ended up buying both, first the newer model (heavy duty) because they were the same price as last year's model. I needed more of them and noticed that they had reduced the price on last year's model so I bought those. They look a little different but the quality is the same. The only difference I notice is the look which you can see from the pictures.

I prefer the Baden. Our high school uses them for varsity so I thought I would try one. Very nice ball without being "sticky" like some feel. The leather is perfect! My four girls love them.

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!

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 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.

We also have a Mathews Genesis bow. I do not know if it is a youth bow but certainly will works as a young beginngers bow. It fits nicely with lots of extra room.

I have used both speakers. The X-Pro provides a much better overall sound experience. Bass levels are much richer and the volume level is better than the X2, which has a much thinner overall sound. The X-Pro is physically thicker, so take that into account relative to your helmet. They fit just fine in my AGV Miglia Modular, but not so well in my LS2 Modular. I actually purchased 2 of the Pro's, one for me years ago then and one for my wife. Then I purchased a Honda Goldwing with the Premium Sound System and we no longer need internal speakers, except for use with our Scala Team Set. Now, we just use the small speakers that came with that, which work fine for voice conversations. I have tried several other helmet speakers over the years and I believe that the X-Pro's are the best value out there. As with all of the ones I have used, it is important that your sound source produces enough volume to drive them. For example, my Sansa MP3 and Sony armband radio work great. However, my LG Optimus 9 Android does not produce enough volume with any of them. I tried a couple of different amplifiers, but without much improvement at higher speeds. BTW, I had no quality issues with the X-Pro's in my years of use...thus the purchase of a set for my wife. Then, I traded my VTX 1800F for the Goldwing and now both sets are now stored away!

I would recommend the xs-s. I run a riding program and have every size and that is the most common size worn. We all love the comfort of this helmet!
