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

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

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.


"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

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.
