Intro & New Features
The next installment of Warrior’s Ritual goalie gear is finally here; the Ritual G6 E+ leg pads look to bring a solid combination of tech from the highest-end model and . Features include Airslide 3.0, CoverEDGE+, a 360 TriFit leg channel, and Active Response straps.
External Material
Airslide 3.0 is an upgraded form of 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 G6 E+ 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 outer roll has 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 G6 Pro+ 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 G6 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 Ritual G6 E+ Junior leg pads come in sizes 26+1, 28+1, and 30+1 in the following colourways: White/Black/Red, White, White/Black, White/Red, White/Royal, and Black.
Goalie Leg Pads Sizing
Deciding your Goalie Pads size is crucial for having total control while moving in the crease. Sizing your pads properly is the difference between getting that perfect seal on your butterfly, and feeling clunky or unprotected in the net. Below we have compiled some information to better assist you in deciding which size is right for you.
Floor-To-Knee Measurement
Your Floor-To-Knee measurement will give you a good indication as to what "Pad Size" you will need. This measurement can be matched up with the provided sizing chart above.
How to Measure your Floor-To-Knee
- 1. In your bare feet, place the 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 the provided sizing chart
What to look for when trying on your new pads.
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. There a couple things to do to check size, once you have the pads on:
1. Stand straight and bring your feet together. This will show you the overall height of the pad, while on. Your pads should not be taller than your hips. Ideally you want the top of your pad at the half-way point of your thighs. A pad fitted for a young growing goaltender can be a little taller, so a little above the half-way point is normal.
2. Next you want to get 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 proper fit, you want the middle of your knee to sit directly on the center 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 center of the knee stack (1” for JR).
Not getting a complete seal while in your butterfly?
If you're having trouble getting a full seal in your new pads, it may be the way you’re strapping them up. Make sure your boot strap and top straps (above knee) 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. 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 don't want them pulling down too hard on the thigh rise.
