I had this same issue. I had some extra pvc lying around, so I cut a piece to stretch open the glove.

I think it is really more about the shipping situation than it is about the colors affecting the build time. I got a picture of my pads completed at 7 weeks but it took 5 more weeks for me to get them.

I believe that it’ll be sturdy enough. It is to pieces of jenpro that are double stitched together.

I used prolaces on my old pads and kept the boot strap order loose rather than removing it. The G5’s I need to use the Lundy loop to land on the knee stack.

I had 36+2 SLRs and ordered 36+1.5 for my G5. I still feel like I’m landing high on the G5 when the SLR felt fine with using the bootstrap under my skate.

I think that this helps me to land on the correct spot on the knee stack similar to the way the professor strap did. It just seems weird looking down and seeing the front of my skate exposed now.

I used the my pads for the first time last night. The gloves felt great, it was a little bit more difficult for me going from a white glove to the black. Hasn’t caused any issues yet. After the first period I had to loosen up both of the straps and will switch to not have the calf strap go through the pad. One thing I noticed was That the pad seems to be sitting much more on top of my skate with the toe of my skate exposed. I am not sure how that changes when I am down in my stance. Just looked weird to me. Overall the pads felt food and didn’t seem to have much of an adjustment for me.

I think for my first time in my G5 pads tonight I’m going to use the CRS strap with the boot strap going through the Lundy loop, the calf strap going through the loop in the tighter setting and the knee strap down to the calf. my thought now is how much will I miss having a professor strap on my pads.

I have the pro laces so I wanted to throw them on to have a familiar feeling with these pads.

My 36+1.5 pad came in at 4.2 lbs a after I took out the clip and Velcro at the knee.

Which pad is this?

Decided to throw them on now since that’s what I’m used to instead of trying out the stock ones.

I have the original ones on my old pads and a set of the armor laces to put on my G5’s.

Went with 36 +1.5. My SLRs were 36+2. Biggest thing I see with the leg pads is figuring out how I’m going to strap them up between the boot strap and the toe ties without there being a toe bridge. Just trying them on at home it felt like I needed to use the Lundy loop for the boot strap to put the pad in a good position for me. I think that I ordered on 3/23. So it took almost 12 weeks. I feel like I must have been one of the first ones done in the batch that they shipped out.

Got my set in today and I am extremely happy with them even with the extra wait. Looking forward to getting them on the ice this weekend, the glove is really snappy and just needs broken in to open it up and present bigger. My biggest worry is how to get my prolaces on them too. The thigh rise is definitely much thinner than on my SLR pads.

Bottom one

I just looked at the tracking info I received and it says that I should get them on Thursday.

I ordered mine 11 weeks ago

I just got the same email

I thought about drilling some holes and mounting a blower into a hole in the bottom to force air through it. I figured I’d just see how it does with that first.

With all of the hockey I’m playing I finally decided to build a rack to hang my equipment up on to help it dry out. I’ll post another picture tonight with all of my stuff on it after my game.

I saw a picture of my pads completed when I sent a message to warrior instagram. That was at about the 7 week point, that was 4 weeks ago. I messaged them again and they told me that they switched to consolidating their shipments and one was made on 5/20. I haven’t heard anything more from TGC about warrior pads being received. I really want to get them as them as I have been playing quite a lot already. I’ve played 5 games in the last 6 days and I have 2 more this weekend.

Yes the older liners still fit in the G5.

After a couple sticktimes this week I am going to jump back into having 12 games in 18 days starting Saturday afternoon. I may die starting out with 4 in 4 days.

I got to use this on the ice for the first time today. I putt a buttendz grip on it and i loved the way that it felt in my blocker. The R/M1 Sr+ feels pretty good but really not much different than my CR2. Shooting was very much the same for me and I didn't really notice the lower kick point. I've never really been able to do much with a Turko grip, but I use a short 25" paddle. The other goalie had a 26" 2s Pro that he just got and it was pretty nice. I think that longer length is needed for me to properly switch grips.
