Finally got my RGT set on the ice last night... first impressions...
Crazy light... even the guys in the room couldn't believe how light the pads were. Glove is money... snap shut closure right out of the box. That being said, It's going to be an adjustment moving from my WGD Summit to the one piece RGT. Had a few pucks deflect off the thumb area, as the difference in shape will take some getting use to.
The pads slide very well, almost too well in some cases. I over slid a few times and it cost me a few goals... but its really effortless.
I don't think Warrior products integrate well with shock cord based toe straps. I'm going to move back to the Skate Lace for now until I can source some ARS toe straps. I think rotation was affected by the shock cord as the pads were under rotating a hair.
I found the pads a little more "floppy" on my legs, vs what I'm use to. My Passau set had a closed and tight leg channel so these are very loose compared to them. A "professor" type strap at the knee would help my leg feel more connected to the pad. I ran the sling wrap down to the knee and had the calf wrap as snug as it would go. I ran the ARS boot strap thru the rear most cut out in my cowling as well. I may try my Lundy Loop next skate.
Blocker is a blocker. I found the stick opening between thumb and index finger a little tight as well, but that should stretch out with more use.
Finally, the knee block was somewhat stiffer than I like. My previous Smith 6000's had a homemade poron XRD stack I made myself and my Passau's had a maltese landing. I may try and soften up the block if it doesn't naturally soften while I break them in.
Overall I love the set, and am happy to be back Pete's gear!
