PERFORMANCE
A helmet built for kids and the way they play
The ZERO1 YOUTH offers the same soft outer shell as the top ranked ZERO1, but its structures have been tuned to the impact velocities seen in youth football.
The ZERO1 YOUTH helmet offers outstanding front and side impact performance, the most common impact locations seen in youth play.
FIT
A helmet that makes fitting a snap
Color coded DLTA™ Fit Pods can accommodate a wide range of head shapes and sizes, providing a comfortable, snug, secure fit.
A better fitting helmet means a better protected player. The ZERO1 YOUTH helmet offers an air-free, custom fit experience for every player while offering the flexibility to fit multiple players over the helmet’s lifetime.
TUNED FOR YOUTH
Compact, balanced, and light, just right for kids
ZERO1 YOUTH features a compact, lightweight design with a balanced center of gravity, helping kids stay on their feet and keep their heads up.
The helmet also sports a wide field of view reducing the risk that a kid could be blindsided by a hit he doesn’t see coming.

-
My son is 6’0” and weighs 180 lbs. but plays in a youth league. Should he wear the ZERO1 YOUTH or the ZERO1? +-
Generally, the ZERO1 YOUTH is designed for youth play up through 8th grade and the ZERO1 is designed for high school and above levels of play. The YOUTH model is lighter weight and is optimized to meet the impact forces seen in the youth game. However, individual youth league players who are comparable in size and strength to high school players may wear the ZERO1.
An appropriately-fitted helmet should determine whether a youth player wears a ZERO1 or a ZERO1 YOUTH. A youth league player should not wear the ZERO1 if it does not fit as well, or feel as comfortable, as the YOUTH helmet. Before deciding that a child/player should wear a ZERO1 or ZERO1 YOUTH, check with the player’s league and coach to determine if both helmets are permitted for use.
The ZERO1 YOUTH helmet is not designed for high school and above level play.
