Minimum viable product is what they are doing.  Their retail stuff is absolute garbage.

Are those entry level gloves?


While I’ve moved away from Warrior and all my QRL gloves, me and a few guys on my primary team were tempted to pick up these white/pink/blue gloves which match our colors spot on. Not for $170, but if they go on sale...

I'm curious how Duchene can even wear those 4Roll Pros

[Cavs019]

Their pro stock stuff sucks too. The tufftek they use on gloves now feels like cheap wrapping paper and the sticks are pretty meh.

[Golden Gate Sharpening]

Everything pair of gloves made after the QRE is absolute garbage, which is a shame because I absolutely love the QRE and QRL. 

 

I wasn't impressed with the QRE, DX, or LX sticks either; my PRO red lines blew them out of the water IMO.

The Alpha sticks I've used including the LX and LX2 were very average, but the Covert line have been very nice. Haven't tried a qr6 but the qr5 pro rips, imo better than any other low kick stick

It doesn’t help that their marketing guy who they have present for videos looks like Jeffrey Dahmer.  Who actually thought having that guy talk looking like that was smart?

 

IMO warrior died when they stopped with the funny names on their gear.  THe franchise, Johnson, Nuthut, Kronik.  The gear they have now is a long way off to where they used to be.

 

 Companies are trying to be the lightest instead of building quality

Any glove beyond the QRE is terrible. Their sticks aren’t bad. I actually really liked the LX Pro and the Alpha line sticks have looked really nice for a long time now. I’m curious to see what they do when CCM and Bauer both sell to new owners and up their prices significantly. If they continue to offer a 60 day warranty on sticks AND keep their prices where they’re at, they have a chance to compete with the big dogs.

Agree completely on LX pro line, have been staching some as the OG LX pro is amazing for me. Too bad on glove front have been staching there as well for awhile now, tried an LX 20 level glove my teammate had felt like complete trash

Agreed. It was the entire reason any kids wanted the gear. After the Kronik I can’t remember anything meaningful about their offerings.

what do you guys think about this new Warrior anthem?

 

Warrior BREAKTHROUGH (youtube.com)

[Mdwsta4]

Uh, what was that? And is it comical or tone deaf that the ad showcased what looked to be [black] football players working out and yelling, yet every athlete they showed actually wearing their gear was white?

[AmeriCanadian]

Are the new warrior intermediate sticks 65 flex from the 60” height, or 65 flex at 57” with a 3” extension? I’m hoping the qr6 line is better as after the lx pro nothing from warrior has felt the same from them. Really disappointing.

I love all my QRL/QRE gloves, but I had a guy on Reddit SWEAR all the old gloves were trash and the new stuff is amazing. Something about their 'foam pack' breaking everyone's hands...

WTF is Warrior doing with these?

I didn't say the new gloves were amazing... I said they had a better foam package, which is obvious if you've even compared the newer ones next to the QRL and old QX

Those look like a 5 year old tried to make a pair of Franchises as an art project.

The new Warrior skates. I’m all for blacked out skates, but these? Uh… I dunno based on first looks

[Miller55]

Looks like the mako and mlx with a bit of rec skates mixed in
