Hey I know football. I just wanted to say that I got the grip boost football gloves you recommended and it has helped me so much with the back shoulder catches!!! I'm in highschool and my career high in receiving yards happened in the last game of the season. I got 250 yards with 15 receptions!! Thanks for everything!
Aden Boys aden it’s not going to be fun at first just saying because that time before you get your first good hit you probably will be scared so soon as you get your first good hit you’ll fall in love
IMO three of your four criteria are fine, but 'swaggy' should come in 5th after 1) Protection, 2) Comfort/Fit, 3) Vision, 4) Weight. For any player field of view (vision) is a must. Thanks for the great review!
Great video! Bought for my son (HS class of 2024) and he loves it. Very comfortable, more forgiving fit than the VICIS, feels lighter than his friend's Riddell, snug but not tight. Wish they had more options for titanium facemasks - would take the look to the next level. Only disappointment was no more drawstring bag.
I love this videos these help me a lot to prepare for my high school football career this next season will be my first football season and I have always wanted to play and these videos help with equipment I will need
Looks like a great helmet and they borrowed some of Schutt's ideas on the TPU pad concept for the Rheon. The best part about this helmet is the chinstrap attachment which is light years better than any other, especially for youth. Just wish they had titantium facemasks like Schutt which make the weight on the neck better for rotational and directional force.
Helmet looks like something out of Halo, man watching these videos makes me miss the game. Kids/players today got some major improvements to already great gear
I have try this helmet on and it feels really good. My other helmets has been size XL but with shadow size large feels better. Going to buy Shadow for next season
I think it was explained in the video why that might be.. Lacrosse players need to have maximum head movement across all axis the "tail" the bump out on the back of the helmet is to help offset the weight of the mask and help center that weight on the players head. This is similar to what Xenith is doing with this helmet but another aspect not discussed is that this weight distribution which helps prevent the back of the head whipping into the ground by centering the weight on the midline the players neck is better able to prevent head whip. The other point which was brought up on the video for DB's, RB, QB's and WR especially is that the weight distribution and the high back of the helmet allows the player better turn their heads and see the what is coming to better prepare for the collisions that are coming.. All of these are important things for Football just as they are important for Lacrosse.
Papiiito that’s the point in a lacrosse helmet you need to be able to look around and see and with this helmet you can do the same but on the football Field
You have to buy your own helmet for high school football? Please answer this someone because I’m going to be starting high school football next school semester
Jacob Scott yea depends on what hs but most hs will still have amazing helmets variations from f7,speed flex,or just any helmet u feel comfortable with but new helmets like this most likely aren’t rlly in any hs that’s why I would want to get my own because to me xenith helmets are just super comfortable to me.
@@jacobscott8116 I purchased my kids helmets.. the school had Schutts and Riddells but the Freshman got the bottom end what was left helmets like original Revolutions and old DNA's while Varsity got Speedflex, Speeds and New Air XP's so I bought them Xenith Epics got the first ones delivered to Utah. They wore them throughout their 4 years of HS and when they went to College one could not bring his own helmet the other we got a new Epic+ before he left. The hard part of owning your own helmet is maintaining the certification and color matching to the teams paint some coaches will allow you to send the helmets in with team helmets some won't.
One thing that I dont like about the helmet is how open it is when it comes to the face mask and chin strap part It would be very easy to get a clean shot under the helmet right to the chin and the high profile in the back may give you more neck mobility but, you are also at risk for a more server head/neck injury due to whiplash
I remember my freshman szn, I wore a Schutt Hybrid Helmet, and it was the most uncomfortable thing ever, it would literally kill my Cheeks, and jaw. On top of that it was heavy and It stank, I work my ass off and ended up earning a brand new Speed Flex my senior year, fresh off the box, one of the best feelings ever. It was soo much better, it was comfortable, it wasn’t heavy and I loved it soo fkn much.
Hey, IKF! So right now I have a Riddell Speed Flex, but I was seeing for in the future what kind of helmet would you suggest? The Speed Flex, or the Xenith
Hey I'm currently playing flag football until I enter highschool and I find these videos really helpful and help me know what I need for tackle football
If you had a choice, would you pick the Speedflex Precision Diamond or the Xeinth XR or a regular Speedflex (Im trying to buy the safest helmet as a RB/DB)
Hey Matt, I'm thinking of getting the UA f7 glove next season but I am afraid that the grip will peal off mid season and I am a receiver so in your opinion how durable and good is this glove if u and east bay know, I'd love your thoughts.
Hey IKF I got a question, do my cleats and gloves have to match the school colors. Is that a norm for high school because this is about to be my first year. Love your content, it has really helped me choose my equipment.
I got a question, I have been playing flag football my whole life and I was always one of the best players and now I’m am about to go into tackle football should I be worried and I’m a wide receiver so should I be worried about the helmets.
Football is a dangerous sport. There is a risk of head trauma with any full contact sport even with a helmet. It depends on how comfortable you are with that risk.
I've been a xenith fan forever but I've been on the line between the xr the f7 and the vicis I'm really trying to decide I'm probably gonna go to the xr
same idk because i want the best protection but i don’t wanna pay so much for the vicis and the f7 LTD so i might get the xr, only problem is that it looks like the xr isn’t as protective idk why it just looks not as protective, less padding, idk i’ll probably get either vicis or xr

I'm glad the glove reviews help you!
@@IKnowFootball thanks man appreciate it!
You should make a series called football on a budget, where you review cheap football gear that might be good.
hi, I was thinking about signing up for a tackle football league and you're videos help a lot
I'm glad you find them helpful!
if u are debating wether or not to play football, do it because it might just be one of the best decisions you ever make
You will have SO much fun
@@joeadema7829 I was thinking about playing defense so could let of some steam
Aden Boys aden it’s not going to be fun at first just saying because that time before you get your first good hit you probably will be scared so soon as you get your first good hit you’ll fall in love

Im going into football next year and ive been training for the wr position and your vids have helped thank you bro. Helmet fire btw
My school might transitioning to these helmets but damn its going to be hard switching away from the speed flex
Taran T tbh they won’t buy 500$ helmets for ur whole team if they already have speed flex’s
Sousjsndb Sjusjwhw because im so used to the speed flex
Sousjsndb Sjusjwhw idk about that cuz the speed flex is still super nice
And then my school has these cheap Schutt helmets that cost like 70$
Love this helmet, been wearing it for a week
Helmet looks like something out of Halo, man watching these videos makes me miss the game. Kids/players today got some major improvements to already great gear
The best place to learn about football gear

I got the youth XR for my son to use this season. He’s already loving it. Can’t wait to see it out on the field.
Standard facemask or upgrade to titanium?
the shell looks like a lacrosse helmet

Wassup bro you are the best UA-camr
Ayyyeee
underrated drip
Hey ikf I just want you to know your videos help me so much
The high shelf is the best improvement imo, the low shelf on the epic really made it hard to look up especially when moving into a block or tackle...
Do a review on the Vicis helmet. Kinda curious about your opinion about the fit, etc.
IKF did u get the new UA football cleats such as the blur or some stuff like that, and are u gonna do a review on them and / or the Vapor Jet 6
That helmet is 🔥
Noti gang
Hey, IKF! So right now I have a Riddell Speed Flex, but I was seeing for in the future what kind of helmet would you suggest? The Speed Flex, or the Xenith
Damn I wish I had a nice helmet I'm stuck with a egg shaped schutt helmet while half my team has f7 and speedflexes lmao😂
Same lmao 😂
Lollll egg shaped Schutt 🤣 that is the truth though, I hate my helmet

Do a review on the new Xenith element shoulder pads pls
Is there a in depth review coming about the new adidas adizeros and Nike vapor edge cleats?
Great video
We need the xenith shadow XR vs riddel speed flex
I graduated in 2015 and have the X2E with prime facemask. I wish I had this shit back in my day!
Tell me about it!
XTech Shoulder Pads or The CarbonTec Shoulder Pads? Tif for Tack or one better than the other?
I know this is not a vid about gloves but can somebody help me find the best gloves for tight end and de
I don’t play either position but I’d say a Nike Superbad or Cutters Superbad
Ok
Thanks for da reviews
It looks sick
It would be cool if you did video where you told us about you time in professional football and the college you went to and stuff.
could you make a video of the best gloves for upcoming season?
When are the cleat reviews coming out?
Xenith XR or Shutt F7?
I was just recently planning to play football, are there any drills to get faster? I'm trying to be a wide receiver.
What is the helmet with the best vision you’ve had?
Hey IKF I got a question, do my cleats and gloves have to match the school colors. Is that a norm for high school because this is about to be my first year. Love your content, it has really helped me choose my equipment.
I’m not ikf but no :)
Santiago Juarez Delrio thanks so much bro 🙌
u can get whatever but matching looks cleaner imho
This guy has one of the best helmet in the game and runs and catches stiff
Guess I'm lucky 😂😂😂. To be fair I was still coming off a gruesome knee injury. If you follow the channel or IG page you'd know.
@@IKnowFootball oh shoot I didn’t know that, my bad man, still love your videos
I ordered my son a custom helmet 2day, shadow xr, 👍🏼
Está súper ese casco ,tiene una estética muy robusta
So what’s your personal take on this vs the speedflex diamond
when are u gonna do the review on the superbads 5.0
very soon now that fields have opened up
Can you do a video on the new Under Armour Football cleats
I got a question, I have been playing flag football my whole life and I was always one of the best players and now I’m am about to go into tackle football should I be worried and I’m a wide receiver so should I be worried about the helmets.
Football is a dangerous sport. There is a risk of head trauma with any full contact sport even with a helmet. It depends on how comfortable you are with that risk.
Can you do a review on the new under armour highlight gloves
Can you speak about how the shawdow compares to the shadow XR
Can you make a video on the under armour spotlights mc
My son will be comparing the shadow xr, Vicis zero1, Schutt F7 VTD, and the Riddell speedflex, youth version.
Video idea: Pls do a visor collection!!!!
Is there a difference in the regular shadow and the xr?
Can you do a review on the X2E+ you did the regular X2E
Too bad of the cost but oh well. Any thoughts/reviews on vapor jet 6.0 gloves btw?
Good vids keep going
I've been a xenith fan forever but I've been on the line between the xr the f7 and the vicis I'm really trying to decide I'm probably gonna go to the xr
same idk because i want the best protection but i don’t wanna pay so much for the vicis and the f7 LTD so i might get the xr, only problem is that it looks like the xr isn’t as protective idk why it just looks not as protective, less padding, idk i’ll probably get either vicis or xr
With me my 3 things are
1. Safety
2. Airflow
3. Fuckin swag
Hey I don’t know if you’ll see this but I wanted to know, what is the lightest helmet you’ve tried
bruh but the speedflex still hit hard asf
I’m rocking the cutters rev 3.0 gloves this year as a rb and a safety what y’all think or should I get something else if so what kind of gloves
yo ikf what league do you play in ?
I bought this helment with a titanium facemask any ideas for which brand of visor will fit?
I always use the zenith shadow In madden its a dope helmet with the predator face mask and dark visoe
Same
Does he t come with a visor attached or is it sold separate
Hey quick question is this a good helmet for a linemen
I play safety and wide receiver should I get a shutt f7 or speed flex?
So what if I want to use a sportstar chinstrap? Will the matrix system still work?
I'm doing football next year in 7th grade so I'm trying to find the best helmet for my protection during the game and during practice
I'm wearing this helmet this season for 9u bro #FalconsUnitedGold 🦅🟡
