The G5 Intermediate is a great addition to Warrior’s Ritual line of protective goalie equipment. The class leading adjustability of the protector itself is what makes the Ritual G5 Intermediate a great option in the premier category for the growing goalie.
External Material
Warrior uses nylon and mesh on the exterior of the G5 Intermediate chest protector providing durability while still being comfortable and more importantly breathable preventing you from overheating while you’re on the ice.
Internal Foams
The Ritual G5 Intermediate has a combination of both high density and low density foam placed strategically to allow for maximized movement and protection.
Shoulder Caps
The shoulder shape is similar to the G4. The shoulder floaters used in the G5 Intermediate allow for increased head mobility. This gives you better vision and more comfortable puck tracking, never having to worry about your mask or lexan getting caught on the shoulders.
Adjustable Arms
The G5 Intermediate has arms that allow for adjustments to be made to get the fit you are looking for and give a little space to grow into if needed.
Elbow Caps
This chest protector has plastic elbow cups and is extremely adjustable due to the sizing options with either ties or the velcro attachments.
Back Straps
This chest protector has an endless number of straps, strings and Velcro to guarantee you get the right fit for you.

Goalie Chest Protector Sizing
Sizing a Goaltenders Chest Protector is important to ensure the range of motion is not impeded, while still offering complete coverage from impact. There are steps necessary to finding the right fit in your Chest Protector, and the first is to know your measurements.
Finding The Right Size - Measuring Arm Span
To measure your arm span, hold your arms out and measure from wrist to wrist. Start from the bottom of one forearm (you’ll see a bone where your wrist is) and measure to the other. Avoid measuring from fingertip to fingertip, as hand size is not relative to arm length. You do not want the Chest Protectors arm lengths to be too long and interfere with the Catcher and Blocker.
Making Sure Your Chest Protector Fits Properly
Below are some good criteria to follow to make sure your Chest Protector fits properly.
- 1. The arms of the Chest Protector end just before your wrist. This is important because you want to ensure that the wrist portion of the arms do not interfere with your blocker and catching glove. Depending on the model, adjustable arms may be an offered feature, which is an added bonus for goaltenders that are still growing. If the arms are too long, or too short, check the arms of your Chest Protector to see if the length can be adjusted.
- 2. The elbow of the goaltender fits securely into the pocket of the elbow protection, and doesn't shift too far away from them. Keep in mind, arms usually have to be adjusted and positioned properly while putting on your chest protector.
- 3. Make sure the shoulders of the Chest Protector are sitting comfortably and wrapped around your shoulders. This can be seen visually by looking at the collar of the Chest Protector, looking to see the shoulders are sitting in the pocket of the shoulder caps. You also want to make sure that the collar of the Chest Protector doesn't sit below the clavicle, exposing the goaltenders collar bone.
