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.

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.

The youth size may be a little smaller than this one. It may be possible, however I bought two of these and they are somewhat tight. I would go with the adult size.

The one we purchased is just like the picture, same logo and same writing. My son loves it. This is his first crossbow, so we don't have anything else to compare to.

I always "assume" youth to be anything from 5th grade to 8th grade kids before high school. I bought a few of these for our 5th& 6th grade football team this past fall for our QB to use. I think this would be good for a 5'4" 125lb kid - boy or girl should be fine. It worked perfectly for our QB, who probably was maybe a bit smaller and still worked fine.

I don't recommend it for varsity level softball. The machine throws with an overhand motion, opposite of what she'd face in competition. The compromise is OK for beginning softball players, but not high school level.

The one I bought from Amazon is a really nice harness but it is not the one with the bungy tether. It does have attachments for your binoculars and it also comes with the linemen's climbing rope which you really should have when hanging and taking down stands. It is very lightweight and can be worn over or under your outer garments depending on what size you buy. I bought the large and I am 5'10'' and about 185 lbs. It is plenty big for under your outer garments but will work out under as well. You may want to go on the Muddy website to verify the product number for the one with the bungy teather to be sure you get the right one when ordering.

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!

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/

Yes, I got one for my son...he's 9 and it fits him great, must add tho...he's got a big head as well, so u may won't to get a smaller size for him..but the helmet is a dang good deal, and a dang good helmet for dirt bikes and such..its a great buy..and has extra stuff that comes with it like gloves and goggles

It is just right for a 10 or 11 year old, so much safer than the others. Our son loves it but he does not like the helmet, knee braces and elbow braces but hopefully he will get over it, just do not let him ride it without the protection and any age!!! goes fast

Go with the Ultra model....just a little sturdier. I have 2 boys. This model is good, but I think the Ultra model is a little heavier plastic.

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. :(

No. While the Razor Youth V-17 works great for my 7 year old ( using the larger pads included ), it is way too big for a 3 year old with a 20in head ( my other child fits this very description ). There are other options - Giro, Lazer Max that have excellent helmets for that age group&head size. You want a helmet that would fit and protect your child the best now, and not sometime in the future.

The youth model does NOT come with the lineman's rope and gear lanyard, but I believe all the other adult versions do. At least that was the case when I purchased a youth model in 2013.
