cwarnar Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Posted on the GGSU Facebook page... Never had or used a Warrior chest but this looks like a very solid unit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Interesting. I have to say that the arms on the Regular Ritual Pro units are what, at first, repelled me and later made me into HUGE believer in those units. Now that the chest part has taken a few pucks, it could stand a beef-up. But the arms? Still perform like new and did not need hardly any break in. That being said- this could be the Vaughn unit Pete WISHES he could have built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Too many flaps in the shoulders. I cannot wait for the crack down on c/a. I wanna see a streamlined c/a like they did with the shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does look like a beefier version of the Vaughn style units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I wonder what the difference of these compared the the G2 Classic Pros are. Also that most outer flap is a joke like others have mentioned here. I like how Brown does it on the Russian spec units where the padding fits only on the arm part itself. It is the roundish grey pieces seen below. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 One of the reasons I got a 2200 c/a was because I wanted a c/a that was NHL spec sizing. The 1800 I am coming from has a very pronounced angular shoulder profile from the shape of the floaters. I was hoping the NHL spec floaters would give the appearance of a more streamlined profile but in m opinion it looks even bigger. Even with the segmented shoulders. I know I sound nuts wanting to appear smaller lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A10airknight Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Just in case others haven't seen it. The hockey shop (goal.thehockeyshop.com) has these and the pads up for preorder. It looks like April 14th is the big day. Edited April 5, 2017 by Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedugan Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 when do the pads come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It is a soft launch, meaning if a store gets them early they can buy them. A local store to me had the Ritual GT gloves today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it has now been said to be a 70 degree. 590 is said to be a 60 degree but companies don't use uniform measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 More looks at the Warrior - @kippewit feels way less bulky than Primeir lots of different materials used too. Nylon on body to prevent sweat being absorbed into body foam, yellow Quick dry on back plate and neck, and mesh inside arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippewit Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Mine came in yesterday afternoon and 5 hours later I was on the ice wearing it :-) The weight is about the same as the Premier SR (for those interested - I can only compare to the Premier since that's the only newish c/a I have ever owned) but I feel like it is way more balanced. With the Premier I had the feeling of wearing a backpack in front of me, I don't have that feeling at all with the R/GT. I feel like there is almost no break-in time, as it already feels very comfortable. Really like the mix of different materials, and the arms are great. They are much much more flexible than the Premier arms. Nice protection on the arms, and I didn't feel a single shot in the chest. Very happy so far!
