External Material Warrior has optimized the angles of the front face of the pad (blocker and trapper too!) to present the most possible surface to the shooter and cut down on angles on the outside of the pad. The AIRslide technology is still present on the G5 pads, as taken from the G4. Additionally the outer roll of the pad is slimmed down to allow for a tighter seal to the post. Internal Construction The Warrior G5 SR+ goalie pads 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. The HD foams provide a stable knee that makes pad extremely solid in the butterfly, as you would expect from Warrior. Pad Break The G5 SR+ features a single break in the outer roll to allow for a reasonable amount of flex. This flex helps get that perfect five hole seal when in the butterfly. Boot Angle & Toe Taper The G5 SR+ 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 G5 SR+ pads feature a single break in the outer roll to allow for a reasonable amount of flex. This flex helps get that perfect five hole seal when in the butterfly. Strapping The G5 SR+ comes with similar strapping to the previous years model where Warrior has included an adjustable knee/upper calf strap, one main calf strap and the active response boot strap. |
