The Warrior Ritual GT2 Senior Goalie Chest Protector is a great sequel to the original, keeping the main look and feel in the same ballpark while still improving on performance and comfort. The biggest addition this year would be the HyperComp, improving the durability and protection. Alongside that is the new shape of certain pieces such as the biceps, shoulders and elbows, all contributing to a top of the line chest.
External Material Warrior uses nylon and mesh on the exterior of the GT2 chest protector providing durability while still being comfortable and more importantly breathable preventing you from overheating while you’re on the ice.
Internal Foams Warrior uses a mix of lightweight HD (High Density) and LD (Low Density) foams in the GT2 senior chest protector to keep the gear as light as possible while still maintaining performance and durability.
Shoulder Caps The shoulder shape has changed since the first installment of the GT chest, allowing the mask to move around without any interference or getting caught. 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 arms on the GT2 have been improved as well, with the biceps being squared off for maximum coverage. This minimizes the holes on the GT2 chest, enabling a nice seal between the arm and body, while also adding in protection.
Elbow Caps The new GT2 chest has double shield front elbow floaters, providing more protection while also allowing more mobility. This works by having 2 smaller floaters rather than one large one, eliminating stingers on the front by covering weak spots with the secondary floater. Similar to the GT original, the chest has plastic elbow cups.
Back Straps This chest has an endless number of straps, strings and Velcro to guarantee you get the right fit for you. The arms are laced in rather than Velcro, giving a more traditional and solid feel while still being somewhat adjustable. The shoulders have multiple adjustments, for the floaters, chest height and shoulder width. Along with many more adjustments, the GT2 also have removable front and side chest extension padding.
Sizes & Colors The GT2 comes in a sleek black colourway, resembling almost a dark knight sort of look to it. The sizes for the senior model include small, medium, large and extra large.

In comparison with other brands, Warrior chest & arm protectors fit smaller. This is important information for those looking for growing room. When comparing a Warrior with another brand the Warrior will fit exact to size, while the other may fit but provide more growing room.
Goalie Chest Protector Pad Sizing
Sizing a chest protector is important to ensure the goaltenders range of motion (ROM) is uninhibited, 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. Here at The Hockey Shop, we like to use two measurements: torso length and arm span. Once you have these two measurements, match your measurements to our sizing charts.
Sizing before Purchase
To fit for a properly sized shoulder pad, you will need a soft tape measurer to measure and record your chest measurement. To do this, find the widest point of your chest (usually just below your armpits) and measure the circumference. Record the measurement in inches and compare to the available sizing charts in each brand. Also compare your height, weight and age to find your best fit.
Sizing after Purchase
To fit your proper sized chest & arm protector, you will need a soft tape measurer, a pen and paper, and the assistance of a helper.
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; make sure to not measure from fingertip to fingertip, as hand size is not relative to arm length.
Torso Length
1. Have your helper locate the bony bump at the base of your neck (this is located where your shoulders meet your neck). This is your 7th cervical vertebra (C7).
2. Place your hands on your hips, point your fingers down, and your thumbs in a horizontal position around your back, forming an imaginary line.
3. Taking the tape measurer, have your helper measure from your C7 to the imaginary line, and you will have your torso length.
Once you have these two measurements, cross-reference them with our available sizing chart.
Sizing after Purchase
After receiving your chest & arm, you are going to want to check if your size fits the following criteria:
1. The arms 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 trapper—this still provides adequate growing room for the blocker and trapper, which usually last you 1 to 2 years. Depending on the model, adjustable arms may be an offered feature, which is an added bonus for goaltenders that are still growing.
2.Your elbows fit securely in to the pocket of the elbow protection, and do not shift too far away from them. Keep in mind, arms usually have to be adjusted while putting on your chest & arm.
3.Make sure the shoulders of the chest & arm are sitting comfortably atop, and wrapped around your shoulders. This can be seen visually by looking at the collar of the chest & arm; you want the collar
Each brand of chest & arms will have not only a different shape, but also a slightly different fit.
