The G5 palm seems to be thicker than G4 or G3 probably to help with coveredge

And so begins my transition to the dark side Picked up a G5 Pro glove earlier today and this is the first glove I’ve ever tried on that feels like my G3 Pro. Unfortunately they had no 90 degree G5 palms in stock so I’m stuck with the 75 degree palm for now (G5 palms and G4 palms are not the same I found out). Can’t wait to try this thing in a few days

Our ice has limited attendance but it’s much more than 5

Monkey sports was too far away and Pure hockey didn’t have what I wanted

The restrictions vary depending on the rink. At the rink closest to me goalies have to come full dressed excluding gloves, leg pads, skates, and helmet. At another you can show up as you normally would before the rinks shut down. I would suggest calling the rink to ask what they require

I’ve been told I’m a bit of an anomaly because I’m left handed but used regular gloves. In my personal option I believe this is how it should be because I shoot left handed with a player stick and a goalie stick. I’m not sure why most consider that left handed goalies should be full right it never made sense to me. As important as playing the puck is I’d think you’d want to shoot the same with a goal stick as you would a player stick. Apologies if that made no sense

@flip 14 shhhhhh

The shin is most certainly different. I fit the same in a 33 Eflex as I do in a 34 G4

I don’t know if this has been answered yet but it appears that CCM and Warrior use the same thigh rise sizing. I’m currently borrowing some 33+1 CCM Eflex 4.9s and the thigh rise is almost exactly an inch shorter than my 34+1.5 Warrior G4 pads. Generally from what I understand thigh rise sizing goes up .5 every time you move up a size (34+1 has the same thigh rise as 33+1.5)

Or when you’re very detail oriented and bored out of your mind

Is it just me or are Blackwood’s pads thinner than SLR2? I’m also 99% sure he somehow got a bindingless outer gusset on his pads. SLR3 anyone?

The G5 line of gloves is without a doubt better than G4. The off the shelf closure is on par with Brian’s in my opinion. The G4 gloves were always so stiff to me compared to my G3 and the G5 reminds me a lot of that G3 as far as feel goes

Eh there’s 3 of us I just like watching everyone here attack you every time you comment and I don’t blame them

They came with my G4 chest protector but I don’t think they come with the GT series of chests. They can be easily made too

I saw farther up on the this thread that the loops in a side of front of the chest and I have the answer the loops on the inside serve the same purpose just for people who untuck their chest protectors
