Xenith has introduced incremental improvements in areas such as:
- Padding technology: Enhanced impact absorption materials or distribution.

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The Flyte fit is nice and snug, providing comfort without sacrificing protection. I even bought a backplate, which was easy to put on. |
| My son is fairly small and he is able to play more efficiently yet still have protection. |
| I like the belt-style straps (not clips that bend, break, or come undone), and this pad can get really snugged down. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The pads fit well, a little expensive but worth it. |
| It seems a bit expensive to me, but the quality is very good |
| The pads need some adjustment, a bit tricky to get the fit just right. |
The Xenith Flyte is a total game-changer for skill positions. It's insanely light but packs a serious protective punch. What sets it apart is how it fits like a glove without restricting movement. The ShockShield tech does a fantastic job of absorbing hits and distributing impact. You'll stay cool and comfortable even in the thick of things.
