The ARS strap for the RGT's is not included... must be bought separately. I would love to try it, but am very comfortable with shock cord based products

Purolator came on Friday but I was at work so I finally picked them up today... Initial thoughts... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LIGHT!!! I thought my previous Passau's that were stripped right down were light... but these seem like feathers compared to them. Glove is game ready out of the box... and very comfy. I came from a Smith 2000/5000 then NOTHING but TPS/WGD, but the RGT feels great on the hand. Blocker is a blocker! Loving the strapping system on the pads as well. My Passau's were all elastic so the sling wrap system on these is perfect. I'm planning to swap out the skate lace on the toe ties for my own shock cord toe system. @Kirk3190 and Pete and the rest of the folks at Warrior knocked this line out of the park! IMG_0320.MOV

Not to hi-jack the thread... but there's some good foam options out there now. These are from Coveted Mask, black is Neoprene foam and the green is their "Dual Density" foam

Just looking on Dom's site, looks like Rubatex... Pic is from @Beccaraptor PAW

They offer Rubatex or EVA... Rubatex is the tan stuff while EVA is black

I always loved the "gear whore" from the GSBB days. Im actually quite the opposite... I only have 1 set at a time. Been kinda lost since moving my cherry Smith SP5000 set. Since then I've had a Boddam, Passau and now Warrior. I had Dennis mod up my V6 chest but not any gear from him.

My set I just sold... moving to RGT's

No... stupid Labour Day weekend F'd me... hoping tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Popped into my LHS this morning... must say I much prefer the feeling of the RGT glove vs the G3. Feeling and closure seemed better... and closer to the old Smith line of gloves.

Not on the RGT's as well... I'll have my set next week

Stock strapping full details on the smaller outer roll

Helps for 5 hole coverage, increase the "S" Curve of the pad... from the G2 line but you get the idea

Darling Strapping

Filthy set of Optiks

Very sweet looking. Curious to see how it holds up

Ron Stefaniuk is the genius behind Coveted... Also ghosts for both Otny and Masked Marvel. And they are just in the CSA/HECC certification process

Awesome. I personally know how great you are with stuff Tim... always just curious to hear what pros think of gear and how it compares to what us joes think

@Tim_TRUEHockey is this from Jorg? Any chance of him joining us on the board?

"Darling Spec" is shortened finger side plastic to (a) create a more square overall shape and (b) to make for a wider t-bridge, a unique "baseball glove" style break-in that is unlike any of the gloves in the line, and a few other small tweaks.
