XEXenith designs American-football helmets and protective gear. Its official history says former quarterback and physician Vin Ferrara founded the company in 2006 after experiencing head injuries, with its first helmet launched in 2009 following three years of development. Xenith describes its helmet design as using fit-adjusting comfort pads and impact-responsive components.
