Math. Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hello people of the universe, Was curious to know if anyone has any experience with the fit and riding height of Bauer Supreme versus Warrior's R/GT Sr pads. I'm currently wearing Bauer Supreme One.5 pads in 32"+1", got rid of the straps above the knee, toe tie and boot strap VERY loose. My knee falls pretty much dead center on the knee blocks. There currently is a set of Warrior R/GT Sr that I could get my hands on that is 34"+1.5". Honnestly, I wouldn't mind the extra thigh rise but was wondering if anyone had ever compared the fit and ride height of the two brands and line and how they compare with regards to knee placement. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You'd be better off in a 32/33 sized pad from Warrior. 34's will be pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've figured but thought I'd ask anyway. From reading through the forum I understand that pad sizing between brands (and sometimes even between line within the same brand) may vary greatly.

Hell, sometimes it varies between lines a company provides. Your best bet is to try on a size in store to see if it works, especially going from brand to brand. Otherwise, there are plenty of sizing charts out there specific to each companies pad that will allow you to measure you ATK (ankle to knee) and use that measurement to size you to the correct pad.

cwarnar Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Warrior sizing is very simple... Foot to Knee measurement... runs very true to most sizing. I have always worn a 33"+ pad in Smith, Passau and now Warrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Ayup. Can find 32+2 or 33+2, but they never fit correctly. Best to have correct fit. And, I usually buy used stuff. Pro returns or growing teenagers stuff. The smaller brands were custom orders. Even custom not as much as stock brand name gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Goalie Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 FWIW I’ve owned both 1S in size M (Bauer equiv. of 34”) and 34” R/GT Pros and found the sizing to be similar if not identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
