Internal Construction
Warrior uses a mix of High Quality HD foams on the inside of their pad to keep the pad light and soft without sacrificing the durability and integrity of the pad.
Pad Break
One of the main focuses for Warrior when designing the GT2 was an improved torsional flex, promising a perfect seal when in the butterfly. The GT2 leg pads consist of torsional flex points just below the knee and in the ankle to compensate for the toe taper.
Boot Angle
The Warrior GT2 has a soft, 60-degree boot to create a more reactive feeling. This benefits the user by being in sync with each movement and reducing any restriction when moving.
Knee Cradle
The knee cradle is bigger and more adjustable on the Ritual GT2, preventing goalies from missing or falling off their knee cradle, allowing goalies to be more stable in their butterfly than ever before. For goalies that prefer a tighter knee cradle, Warrior has added in an adjustable knee flap for a tighter fit.
Knee & Thigh Protection
Each set of Warrior GT2 senior pads come with Warrior GT knee pads as an added bonus.
Strapping
The strapping remains the same as the original GT with an adjustable knee/upper calf strap, one main calf strap and the active response boot strap. The GT2’s are equiped with lace in the toe bridge, creating higher tension to engage the torsional flex of the pad and achieve a perfect seal when in the butterfly. An active response toe strap is included with purchase. A leather boot strap is available at an additional cost to truly accomplish a more traditional feel.
Toe Taper
The GT2 pads have a tapered toe to increase the attack angle, as mentioned above, Warrior relies on regular lace to compensate for the toe taper and accomplish a full seal along the ice.
Sizes & Colors
Warrior sizing can be a little different than other brands, senior sizes begin at 32 +1.5 inches. Colour options include white, black, red, blue, etc.
