Warrior G6 pro+ (32+1.5) vs Bauer Hyperlite XS (32+1) - Fit and Size Question (Senior)

[whataglovesave]

Super simple-ish ask... Would anyone have an idea how similar in sizing these are, especially knee block height? Obviously, the build is going to be a bit different. Seeing how the Hyperlite has a flat boot and is overall .5 thigh height shorter and stiff. I just currently own the G6 and wanted to try out a hyperlite that is a really good price. I'm a bit less concerned with thigh rise height and almost all but wanting to know how similar the knee stack is? 

I find the G6 32+1.5 is a hair too big for me at the knee, but it's so very negligible and my strapping accounts for the hair. I also owned a 2x Pro pad before but it was worked in quite a bit and it was a Small in size.

For reference, I can't obviously get a hyperlite in store anymore to try on and I went by the warrior sizing guide when I bought the G6s...my FTK is between 18.5-19.

Sizing should be really close. If your FTK is 18.5 to 19, I'd check out a Bauer SR XS (if you can find one). FTK size chart from the 2025 catalog below.

I have a 19.5" FTK, have been in 33+1.5 R/GT, R/GT2, and G5, and have been in Small Ultrasonic, Mach, and Shadow. 

I had a pair of 33+1 G7's that were too large and I was landing near the bottom of the knee stack. I would have been better in a 32. The boot bump on the G7's was a bit taller than the G6, but both were larger than anything from the G5 and earlier. 

So my guess is that if you're landing a bit low on the G6 like I was, the XS(32) Bauer might be a solid fit like me as well.

Thank you my guys! I appreciate the quick responses. I'll try out the XS. I like my G6s and make them work pretty good, I miss Bauer though even without the famous slide plate on the G6s.

I've found Bauer's sizing chart to be spot on and I don't believe I've seen too many stories of others having fitment issues from the chart, unlike Warrior. 

So you should be safe.

I'm have an 18.5 ftk and love my Bauer intermediate L (same height as a senior XS). For reference I also find the Warrior 32 knee block to be just smidge too high. Sadly it's meant Warrior isn't an option for me now because they will not make a custom 31" +2 senior pad.
