Ive been injured and have 5 sets that I rotate but from the 4 times I wore the Warrior G2s are an incredible product and Mike Smith spared no innovation on these pads. The G2 pros are an amazing product and cost $400.00 less than the customs! The only difference is the Pros are made in China while the Customs are made in Canada. Don't worry about quality control, I've had 4 sessions on the ice with these pads and they are still holding up great. Right out of the box they are incredible customizable. If you want a deeper leg channel just simply pull out the leg channel pads for a deeper loser fit. Want to change the profile of your pad? Just simply use their velcro technology and get that Niemi straight pad profile or get the nice "S" curve profile. The elastic toe ties are great, no longer have to worry about setting up your toe ties to short and straining your ankle, with the elastic toe ties they let you foot ankle rotate freely and causing less stress and preventing injury. The smart straps are great and very easy to use but if your a leather strap and buckle person you can easily add them to the pad. Finally this pads only weighs 4.4lbs! These pads are incredibly light weight but dont worry they do not skip out on protection. Overall this pad is well worth the $1,099.00 price point and you will not be disappointed in this product.

The glove feels incredible. It closes very very easy with little break in time. They offer a palm replacement feature which allows you to replace the palm and change the angle of the glove break. I have not done this yet but seems like a cool feature to offer. The durability seems good so far and have not felt really any stingers in the palm. The glove retails at $399.99 and I can say ever since I bought this glove I wear it most of the time matching or not (its hard for me not to match)

Finally the blocker...I will say a blocker is a blocker but I do like the bindingless design and the key selling point on this is the replaceable palm. I love this because if you get a hole in the palm it just vecros right out. No need to send it out to someone to repalm. At $249.99 its 100% worth it.

Pretty innovative equipment Warrior's been coming out with. Wouldn't mind giving em a shot myself. Not sure about the boot though- looks a bit too square for me.

They have decent flex? Love me a broken down squishy feeling pad.

Yea at first they are still as hell but after 2 or 3 times I noticed the boot flexing more
