So you think that they are a little smaller than the ccms or the other way around? I was thinking of putting my pro laces in that spot but didn’t know if there was enough material there to hold the laces without them tearing the material.

How did you attach your prolaces? Did they fit smaller than your ccm’s, under the impression ccm is about one size bigger.

Most likely I always wear mine over my chesty and I found myself every couple weeks or so tightening them down until I couldn’t anymore

I’ve just of gotten the wrong ones then because one set lost it elasticity and the other one broke at the plastic part that connected to the pants and I was tieing them to one another.

Believe I read that they made the stock strap a little longer? This is good if it’s true because when I tried on the G4’s I definitely felt my ankles being pulled up and made it a little Uncomfortable. I think the warrior stock set up will work just want to have options especially since I bought pro laces already....

That was my thought process too, it seems like the holes and material would tear easily. Might have to get TGC spec ones and tie them through the slits? Might be warriors way of making you use their toe ties like apple did with their jack.

They are a little pricey for custom ones but the stock aren’t that bad and they are pretty well made from the short time I have had mine. Think of it this way you can spend $50 for kova and get quality suspenders or the $15/20 for retail ones that will to be replaced 2/3 times a year. I was tired of replacing mine and the kova ones are more comfy on the neck

Isnt there usually a flap? This looks like the flap is stitched down to the pad. I guess you could run the laces through the slits but what if you wanted to screw them in?

Unlesss I’m not seeing it correctly the toe area of the G5’s is different than the previous years. Then other years had that flap you could tie/screw into but the G5’s toe area is just that slit on the bottom of the pad with two holes and a spot for the elastic toe area.

What size did you go with? The set looks killer I like the pop of the logos off of the dark backing. when did you order yours again?

Exactly! Don’t you know that matching good looking gear is more important than actually play well? If you can’t actually play well at least look like you know what you are doing.

I’m wondering that too, I ordered a set a while ago while waiting for my pads but I saw the toe area of the G5’s and don’t know where I’ll attach them. I know there are two small holes but I think the constant tugging there would eventually rip the area, since there isn’t to much material in between.

That’s going to look pretty slick with your gear. Some premiers pants? I got a passau on the way, got a great deal on it. How you like the Vaughn, I have been eyeing their chest and pants. I also want your knee pad set up, after watching your video on your garter belt set up I can’t find the Vaughn style. Going to rig one together. You find the belt holds up the knee pads better than taping?

I’m jealous of you!! what’s your FTK and what size did you order? The pads look awesome, like the new color way you came up with. You still rocking your passau C&A and warrior pants?

Ya that’s the o my reason I went with custom pro stuff because of the value of the USD to CAD plus they marked the pads down even further. Think my whole set cost the same as just the leg pads from GM

I just hit 8 weeks so I. Not holding my breath that they came this time but it would be nice. Maybe I just got my order in on the backend of your guys timeframe

That’s awesome since you have been waiting so long. You ordered yours from TGC and what date? Hopefully mine arrived, haven’t gotten any emails yet *fingers crossed* hopefully i didn’t miss this one and don’t have to wait till next shipment

Realistically since the pads are so new and they are from some warehouse GM probably never opened the box they came in from warrior. In the end it’s warriors QC that shipped them. If you would handle it money wise you could always order another set and send these backs so you would have less down time.

Is he the goalie that would awkwardly hit his mask with his glove before every face off?

Contact GM and warrior and bring up both issues. If you haven’t used them and have the patients I would swap them out. The hole isn’t a big deal but the area like you said is a high wear area so why risk it. As for the leg pads that’s pretty crappy, swap them out for new ones.

Agree with that, yes there was a pandemic that no one could foresee or estimate the impact it would of had but knowing things would be back logged it would of been nice to have warrior blast an email out to all their distributors and say hey we are going to be slow at getting order out thus letting the stores tell their customers. If warrior had no way of knowing this would mess with their production then that is a pretty poorly ran company that can’t keep track of its production times. Someone at warrior would/should have seen production dips. I don’t blame anyone it was out of their hands it’s just more of a courtesy things since people are dropping $1500+ bucks on their products. just griping because I want my pads since I’m starting to play again. Not holding anything against warrior or retailer’s

Sounds like with changing the shipping carriers they are waiting for one big shipment to be sent back to the states/ Canada

I know covid threw a wrench into the whole process, I’m just impatient and want to get my pads. I’m still waiting for almost a month a half on my passau pro pack. If I didn’t such a great deal in it I would of probably went a different route

You would think that warrior being owned by NB and having a pretty big hockey presence they would have someone to answer questions. Other people seem to be getting their gear and warrior keeps posting sets on their IG. They did get half their money but they probably don’t get charged until the pads ship from warrior so they just pocketed that money and can sit on it. I don’t see why switching shipping carriers would make a difference they would still get some updates on the pads whether they shipped or not. im not at 8 weeks yet, but you being at 11 weeks would make me grow impatient.

Just got an email from Rance at TGC and said they only have had one set from warrior show up.... warrior hasn’t officially said there is a delay to them but he thinks there is a couple weeks push back.
