The leg pads seem to be solid, but anything unique with the Glove/Blocker that stands out? The blocker is crazy comfy, but I really liked how the Bauer 3x Glove fit, i'm trying to decide if i just go all in warrior and get over the glove or piece meal it. Thoughts with those who have the glove and/or blocker?

This seems to be the sentiment from people I talk with about Warrior, either love em or hate em. Quite divisive brand with goalies it appears. I've been debating getting something from SS, but when I consider the price and shipping it isnt that big of a jump to get new. I love the idea of 2nd hand, but seems that a lot of gear is the pro level and has been beat up, and still the price of new non-pro gear, then add anywhere from $50-150 shipping. I dont quite get it. So ill likely just get new. $800 seems reasonable.

I am finally considering taking a jump in the Warrior pool. Been using Brian's and have been happy, but they are falling apart and time for a new set. Would like to get more bounce on my rebounds, so been thinking the G5 for lightness, glide and stiffness. Where did you guys or at least @Puckstopper order your set from? Clearly customized right? GoalieMonkey, Pure Hockey or somewhere else? I tried on a pair at a local Pure Hockey store and although they fit different than other sets of pads, I liked them quite a bit. Wasnt too keen on the glove however. Has yours loosened up finally? Any insight on G5+ vs G5 Pro? Seems like twice the cost for a few less ounces? I must be missing something. Finally trying to determine if the cost is worth going custom or just get all black. Personally, i'd just take this entire set as is and be happy, but I dont see anywhere offering pads beyond white or black. With G6 supposedly coming soon, i'm wondering if i should just wait and try those or see if the G5's drop in price. Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
