I'll be writing something up and posting it into the Reviews subforum.

Here's a video of closure out of the box -

How does it feel on your hand compared to the original GT?

Speak of the devil.... I've just been told my set has arrived. Will pick up in a couple hours.

I was thinking of pulling the trigger on that stick pack. Or getting the EF4 sticks. Can't decide. Still have two CCM unused foam cores I need to get through before I can justify getting more sticks.

EDIT: Even more beautiful in person.

Must get first impressions on the new glove

When you use this, hoe tight are you setting this? I think I remember Scrivens saying he wrenched it down really tight. Do you agree with that?

It's all about what works for you.  I haven't used one but most people that I've spoken with have them snug.  But like most strapping it'll be personal preference until you dial it in for your style

So far from what I've read about the glove looks good, but, I really need to try one for myself before committing. I really loved the GT1.

Also, wasn't the GT1 just a single inner/outer break? Is the GT2 stock 2 internal/1 external? @Kirk3190

I think its only 1/1 on stock.  I would prefer a double internal, no external. I had those on my Smiths

New to me via Sideline Swap.  I wanted to take a set of EF3's for a spin before decided on my next set.

What date are they available on the retail floor? I want to get my hands on the pieces before I commit to an order, and I'll be up at goaliemonkey in Dallas in a few weeks when my True skates come in. I had warrior G2 pads and really liked them, and am currently using G3 glove (amazing - best glove of its generation imo) and blocker (comfortable, great finger protection, good everywhere except for paddle-down situations - but that could also just be me).

April 19th is the retail launch

This will be my warrior set this year.  Doing a black white theme for my gear this season.  Also gonna try the 90 degree angle in the glove as that seems to be what I would like!

Love the weave accents!

The Hockey Shop "review" of the GT2 pads is up as well

https://www.thehockeyshop.com/blogs/goalie-gear-reviews/warrior-gt2-pro-leg-pad-review

Sadly after 3 different tries I can't say I'm crazy about the GT2 stock graphic... I basically cuts the face of the pad vertically and uses accents near the outer roll... I think these are still my choice:

Customizers are up now.  http://www.warriorgoaliecustomizer.com/

My work day just got less productive

It's interesting that they opted to not have any of the graphics carry over to the lower third of the pad.

It'll have to wait till the customizer comes out tomorrow to really see how playable it is, but it does seem pretty limited.

I'm hopeful... The G4 and the GT stock graphics had multiple color zones making a lot of different styles.  Tomorrow can't come soon enough

Really good look at the versatility of the stock GT2 Graphic... And the red weave

Just found my leagues twitter, they post random shots of games. Here's two of me.

Its official... You need custom GT2 gear

You guys are talking about the neon green diagonal stripes on the shin and boot? Those do not carry full-length across the shin. They terminate about 2/3 across the face of the pad, just like the photo from Warrior's Instagram.

Those are the ones. I figured from the few front shots of the pad is that they're more of an accent graphic versus part of the overall pad. Thanks for the info

Can't say I'm the biggest fan there @cwarnar . The white inside edge just feels like it doesn't belong. 

Unrelated, but here is the first custom set that warrior is showing off. Matches fairly well with a set of one of my teams' jerseys.

I'm still going to tinker for sure... I really want to use to GT2 customizer and see if those accent pieces on the shin are cut off halfway across the pad face for not.  If anything Warrior has such versatility in their stock graphics

Gloves need some red accents.

1 hour ago, Puckstopper said:

Agreed.  I might do the thin vertical stripe on the pads (the one I did in green) in red.  If you don't want it on the pads just do a separate order for the gloves.  I ended up doing that because I didn't like how the brown binding looked on the gloves, so I ordered them separately with a white binding. 

I was trying to find a way to do that as well... Thanks to @Puckstopper I mocked this up

JF charges $180 CAD plus shipping both ways

Very Cool!  I like the white inner area of the Classic design.  White weave for the sliding surface?

Yup... and likely a few other weave accents in a few other areas

In all seriousness,  is he just by himself in his house making masks around a full time job?

100%... Michel does all his mask stuff in his downtime

I'm 90% sure I'm going to be grabbing custom GT2s now that they're offering weave... Thinking of moving back to the Classic graphic but with my same and simple, Black/White/Red color scheme...

This is of course pending the hours I will be spending playing with the GT2 graphic customizer that launches in 8 days!

sent Michel my deposit yesterday.  now to make my mold and begin the long wait.

What's it at nowadays?

Placed an order for a full set of custom CCM yesterday on March 8th.

Dunno what the wait times are, though.

Where's the customizer screen shot???

Bauer is building the monster design. Monster is NOT making these for Bauer.

Still makes no sense.  One off the concept... countless others have
