Intro & New Features
Going into 2024, Warrior has released the Warrior G7 Intermediate Goalie Leg Pads. Featuring a HyperComp reinforced knee drive system, a redesigned outer calf wrap, double elastic knee and calf strapping, and a contoured shin cradle. While being available in sizes 30+1"-32+1", they also come in a variety of different colors.
External Material
The SlidePlate with HD foam inner gusset is upgraded from the previous Airslide seen in older Warrior leg pad models. It’s a polycarbonate slide plate structured specifically to increase sliding performance by lessening friction along the surface throughout the entire game.
Internal Construction
The Warrior G7 sticks to what worked in the previous G5 SR+ pads, which is the use of an HD foam core to increase durability and responsiveness. The foams help stabilize the knee for maneuvering in the butterfly position.
Pad Break
The G7 continues to use CoverEDGE+ design, which is a forward-lean design that creates a better angle when challenging the shot. The outer roll has also been optimized to allow you to hug the post better, which in turn would make for a better seal in both the RVH and butterfly positions.
Boot Angle & Toe Taper
The toe box on the G7 is removable as desired. In response to some feedback Warrior had received from the previous G5, they have lengthened the Active Response toe and bootstraps to help with recovery, particularly in the hips and knees.
Knee Cradle
For better control, the pads use a combination of Warrior’s 360TriFit leg channel and a contoured shape. The semi-built-in knee block returns from previous Ritual models, which is stiffer for a more stable knee landing. The knee cradle on the G7 is adjustable.
Strapping
The pads use Slingwrap knee and calf straps and have included an additional calf strap for a better anchor and greater connection to the leg.
Colors, Sizes & Customization
The Warrior G7 Intermediate Goalie Leg Pads are available in colors Black, White/Black, White/Black/Red, White/Red, White/Royal and White. Available also in sizes 30+1"-32+1".
Goalie Leg Pad Sizing
Sizing up your goalie leg pads is crucial for having total control while moving in the crease. There are two different measurements you can use to project the size of leg pad you should be wearing. The first one is your floor-to-knee measurement, which you can match up with our provided sizing charts to find the size of pad you would wear, before plus sizing. The second is the sum of your skate size, mid-ankle-to-mid-knee measurement, and your mid-knee-to-mid-thigh measurement. This measurement gives you a rough idea of what overall size pad you should purchase.
Sizing before Purchase
For measuring your floor-to-knee:
- 1. In your bare feet, place the beginning of your soft measuring tape at the inside of the bottom of your foot.
2. Slightly bend your knee.
3. Run the soft measuring tape up your shin, to the middle of your knee.
4. Match your floor-to-knee measurement with our provided sizing charts.
Skate size + mid-ankle-to-mid-knee + mid-knee-to-mid-thigh
- 1. Take your skate size (for example, size 10).
2. Start your soft measuring tape at the inside of your mid-ankle, and run it up to your mid-knee (for example, 18 inches).
3. Now, from your mid-knee, run your soft measuring tape to your mid-thigh (for example, 7 inches).
4. Add your measurements together (10 + 18 + 7 = 35 inches).
5. This means you should be looking into a 35” pad, give or take.
It should be noted that these measurements line you up for an accurate fit, and not a fit that is intended for growing room. Also, different brands size differently, meaning a 35” pad in one can be a 34” or 36” in another.
Sizing after Purchase
Once you have your new leg pads, you’ll need to make sure they fit you properly. To do so, you’ll need to put the pads on with your skates, as if you are about to go on the ice. There a couple things to do to check size, once you have the pads on:
- 1. Stand straight, bring your feet together. This will show you the overall height of the pad, while on. Your pads should not, in any case, surpass your hips. Realistically, you want the top of your pad coming up to half-way point of your thighs. A pad fitted for growing room will be a little taller, so a little above the half-way point is normal. In any case, your preferences can alter these suggestions.
2. Secondly, go in your stance, keep your hands in a ready position, and drop to your butterfly. Without moving your legs to correct your butterfly, bring your heels together. This is where you assess your knee position. For a perfect fit, you want the middle of your knee to sit directly on the centre of the knee stack. If you’re looking for growing room, you want the middle of your knee to land roughly 1.5” below the centre of the knee stack—1” for junior.
Additional Information
Not getting a complete seal while in your butterfly?
- If you are having trouble getting a full seal in your new pads, it may be the way you’re strapping them up. If this is the case for you, make sure your boot strap and top (above knee) straps are loosened up a bit. The reason you want these straps loose is because they have a direct effect on the rotation of the pad. Therefore, having a loose boot strap makes it easy for your foot and ankle to rotate as the pad moves; same goes for the top straps, as you do not want them pulling down too hard on the thigh rise.
