The most intelligent, balanced, and comfortable football helmet in the game.
Xenith Shadow XR is Top-Performing on the 2020 NFL Helmet Test and 5-star rated by Virginia Tech.
The adaptive fit system with RHEONâ„¢ cells and jaw pads ensures even, uniform pressure distribution on the head. This makes Shadow XR optimally comfortable, while still offering top-performing protection and a secure fit, with no hot spots.
The novel polymer shell of shadow XR is 10% lighter than traditional materials and withstood over 10,000 simulated hits in the lab to ensure your helmet is top-performing for years to come.
Elevates your play with even weight distribution, a low center of gravity, and a titanium facemask.
Large vents at front and rear of shell along with purposeful RHEONâ„¢ shock geometry allows cool air to flow over the head and hot air to escape.
The Adaptive Fit System is comprised of the 1. Internal Shock Matrix and the 2. Integrated Chinstrap. The Internal Shock Matrix conforms to the head with even, uniform pressure for a custom fit every time you tighten the chinstrap. This movement is enabled by the 3. Decoupled Shell, which is strategically attached to the shock matrix in 4 key locations.
RHEON cells shear to control rotational impact energy, reducing the movement of the head.
RHEON cells compress to absorb linear impact. The cell design, with re-entrant geometry, concentrates more material at the impact site to slow down the hit.
We utilized RHEONâ„¢ re-entrant geometry to create a castle-shaped cell that cushions low-speed impacts, but intelligently strengthens for high-speed impacts. *RHEONâ„¢ shocks will be grey in production helmets.
All Xenith helmets are top-rated on the NFL Helmet Test and Virginia Tech test. All Xenith helmets feature our patented Adaptive Fit System providing a custom fit every time you put on the helmet and providing coaches and equipment managers with an ease of fit and transferability year after year.

IsraelFirst off, Xenith customer service is top notch! Best thing for any consumer to know that they are in great hands with great people running the show. Secondly, the Shadow XR is a dream! I've never had such an innovative helmet... One that feels heavy when you hold it yet feels so light when it's on your head is amazing. The quality is top notch and I'm looking forward to my next purchases with Xenith.
United StatesI have played for 3 years now. I love that this is one of the top rated against concussions. I have a rookie that got this helmet because of that ratting.
