    R GT/2

    7 weeks and 5 days after ordering, my RGT2 / RG4 set has arrived (RGT2 Gloves, RG4 Gloves)!!! Super happy with how they turned out, only thing would be how white on jenpro and weave is a bit off, but I suppose that makes sense (that they'd have different tones as they're different materials, not sure if anyone knows anything about this). Will also be putting on TGN Spec Pro Laces on there instead of ARS or lace toe ties.
  2. I'll pop 'em in the RGT2 thread after I pick them up today!
  3. Ordered RGT2 Pro leg pads, RG4 catcher and blocker Sunday April 28, just got word today that my set has arrived, picking up tomorrow!

    Good to know, that's a great problem to have! All good, I was just trying to use your guys' IG channel to see if my set's complete, I'll be more than happy with getting them on the ice--and of course sharing pics of the set here with everyone.

    Oh strange, guess it's a bit different vs other brands, most just use a wide elastic strap. How do you like your OPTIKs? Keep us posted on how the glove is!

    Nice.. like the good 'ol days when every piece of gear is from a different manufacturer. haha. It seems most folks with warrior opt to strap the one behind the knee down to the calf. I ordered a G4 catcher, but the RGT2 catcher feels very comfortable in hand. Happy catching!

    Was yours a full set? I ordered mine April 28th and still holding my breath. Does anyone know if Warrior posts every custom set they make on their Instagram? I keep hoping I'll see mine on there as a signal that mine will be shipped soon.

    Lookin good! What leg pads do you have with these?
  9. Great job! The original must've been a literary masterpiece. Re: the catcher palm--yes I believe it's reinforced with hypercomp. They seem to have went HAM with hypercomp (which is awesome). Their pro+ knee guards have it too. A bit overkill, but it's a good balance of weight-saving and protection. Re: the "hand slippage": I think it's the byproduct of having no strap at the wrist, but I actually think your hand isn't supposed to be as shoved in like in other gloves. The benefit of Warrior catchers is the wrist mobility and ability to angle your catcher to the puck with no hindrance so though it's definitely a different feel, I'm not sure if it's a negative thing per se, just... different. Re: the wear on the thigh rises: Is it weave there? I feel like weave-like materials don't do really well rubbing against each other. On my old Optiks and a few other folks I know they had wear on the corners--luckily they didn't get worse over time. That's Primo though and of course different than Warrior's weave. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! I'm dying waiting for my set to come in.
  10. The long term review??? I've been waiting for that one! Better be very well thought and coherent.

    Yes I did--I really enjoyed Primo on my old Optiks, and miss the satisfying crunch of weave-like material on ice. I know Primo probably slides even better, but excited to try out Warrior's weave. The demo RGT2s I tried didn't have weave and I felt it could've used some help in the sliding department.

    Thanks! Stoked to try out the 60degree.

    Ah. I ordered 1 day before you. Hope I get mine around the same time. The wait is agonizing! Luckily not as bad as the 10+ weeks for EF4s though... RGT2 Classic pads 33+2, White weave on outer roll and "knee rolls". Red as back nylon inspired by MAF and his VGK sets. RG4 Gloves, Double T, Combo of weave and jenpro for texture. 60 degree palm--I've tried 75 and 90 on my old G3s, but realize the 60 degree probably more to my liking.
  14. Nice! I just demo'd rgt2 pads from THS, but they didn't have the weave. Think I'll pull the trigger on them, with weave on sliding surface!
  15. Amazing looking set! How's the performance of warrior's weave material on ice compared to jenpro? Slidability, feel, performance in warmups vs end of game?
