Here's my R/GT2 Pro. Foam sticking out a bit. I can close it off a bit more by adjusting the "pocket" but it's never affected anything. I believe the G5 still has that axis tee system right? If not, these gloves break in pretty easily. Here's my catcher that has had nothing done to it but playing in it.

That doesn't open the glove any more. I know some guys loosen up the elastic strap that goes from the cuff to below your thumb as they find it helps ease up the closure. I've never found it to be a hindrance though.

I'm in a Medium but would probably benefit from a Medium body and small arms. My LT90 C/A before that was awesome as it had shorter cuffs than most brands.

Made the same switch from V4's to R/GT 1's. Haven't looked back.

Constantly. I've gone back and forth between the MID and HIGH setting on my blocker. I rocked HIGH forever when I got my R/GT 1 set as I was still used to a velocity blocker hand placement. Once I got my R/GT C/A, I had to move it down to a MID setting due to the elbow floaters interfering. I've used MID for over two years now that going back throws me off. You'll inevitably mess with it anyways as you'll definitely want to take advantage of being able to wash your gloves.

I wouldn't worry about the foam there. The sidewall on Warrior blockers aren't sewn in but are kind of placed in a pocket. You can easily adjust this to recover the end and it won't plague you going forward (or it shouldn't). Chances are you'll want to mess with the hand placement anyways to see what works best, so you can tackle that at the same time.

Which would you say you prefer?

I see it.

Still having flashbacks eh? I'd make an argument that it was less "experimenting" and more "abusing"

Is it infused with LSD?

You're probably at the mercy of USPS.

Bauer C/A's are used everywhere from the show to the lowly beer leagues. They're not the most popular brand, believe Vaughn is still rocking that title, but, I wouldn't worry about protection level in any off the shelf pro Bauer unit.

gorgeous set @benner33 Did they carry over the GT2 thumb angle to the G5?

fixed that for ya.

My set inspired someone? *sniff* I've never been more proud

Definitely a big fan of using weave to break up the same color.

I'm still pretty sure it's only a single break below the knee. https://www.thehockeyshop.com/products/warrior-ritual-g5-pro-senior-goalie-leg-pads This lists that there is only a single external break, but who knows.

The knee rolls on the RGT line are very minimal. By all intents and purposes it plays like a flat faced pad. just FYI

I believe they have finally gone with a single, but don't quote me on it.

Exactly about the stiffness. I know the G3/4 lines were internal double break whereas the RGT lines are just single outer/inner break. My GT1 softened up quote a bit but till nothing like a double break.

Unless you get smoked from behind on the highway. Still debating on the size of lift and tires I want to tack on. A 3" lift with 32/33's would look amazing, but I'm thinking I'm leaning to a 1" spacer lift with just a thicker tire on my stock rims. Also looking into a bed tent to make the whole camping scenario loads easier.

Got a little camping in this weekend and took the new ride offroad for the first time.

If you're just grabbing a pair off the shelf and don't put too much emphasis into get Hypercomp and stiffer thrighrise, I'd just go the Senior route. I put a pair of senior R/GT 1's through the ringer and they held up very well and never had any issues with performance, durability, and protection. Keep in mind that the difference between a Warrior pad with and without the hypercomp is very noticeable. My thighrise on my R/GT2 Pros are night and day difference compared to my senior set.

Haven't got a chance to play a game yet. They haven't even posted the official start date yet, they only have a tentative start date of July 6th.
