Xenith

Xenith built some of the most respected shoulder pads and helmets in modern football. Their Adaptive Fit headgear and low-profile pad architecture set the bar for fit, impact control, and freedom of movement, and a generation of skill players, linemen, and youth athletes geared up in them.

The brand paused operations in January 2025. Riddell acquired the assets that April. Reyrr still has Xenith on the floor, but it is the last of it.

Xenith status, 2026

Xenith paused production in January 2025 and Riddell acquired the brand's assets that April. No new Xenith-branded helmets or pads are being made. The shoulder pads and backplates listed in this collection are part of our final European stock, and once a size sells out, we cannot reorder it.

If you came here looking for a Xenith model, size, or color that is not on the page, message us before you go elsewhere. We still pull stock through specialist channels in the US and Italy on the rare occasion, and we will tell you straight if it is gone for good.
