Top Competitors

The Riddell Power SPX is known for its innovative design and focus on player safety. It’s a direct competitor to the Xenith Flyte. It offers a balance of protection and mobility with features like a low-profile design and advanced impact absorption technology. The Schutt XV HD series is another strong contender, particularly in the high school and college markets. Like the Flyte, it prioritizes mobility and comfort without sacrificing protection. The XV HD is recognized for its advanced cushioning technology.

Progression of the Flyte:

While there isn't a specific, numbered progression like other product lines, Xenith has refined the Flyte model over time. The Flyte's core concept remains consistent: a low-profile, high-performance shoulder pad that prioritizes mobility and protection.

Xenith has introduced incremental improvements in areas such as:   

  • Padding technology: Enhanced impact absorption materials or distribution.
  • Fit and comfort: Adjustments to the shoulder pad's shape and strap system for better fit and comfort.
  • Durability: Improvements in material quality and construction for increased lifespan.
  • Ventilation: Enhanced cooling features to keep players cooler.
👍 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.
