Got a G6 question? I will be going 1on1 with Kirk Allen (Head warrior rep) to ask all of YOUR G6 questions in the next video. Submit it down below and it may be in Thursday video. I got to see the Warrior G6 up close back in November at the Warrior HQ. Is it better than G5 or worth the money? Find out here

[@GoalieUnion]

Will there be any change in the sizing, 1/2 sizes? Will the pad sit more flatly on the skate? General strapping change how it fits?

[@GoalieUnion]

Also why did they settle on those specific angles/specs for the 6.1's vs other configurations. Are there other differences in the 6.1's vs 6's not mentioned in this vid.

[@sebastian1graf]

On the pads on the knee area there was some sort of plastic thing on the outside, was that just for the showroom or an actual feature to support sliding etc. ?

[@eduardopepez]

Are they going to be catch right friendly this time around?

[@leoyates1985]

Will there be a price difference between the G6 blocker and glove compared to the 6.1?

[@VOGoalie]

Question: Can the G6 bring me out of retirement?

[@nemtall]

Hope so WE want you back .

[@slanginthebizkitpodcast]

Yessssss

WAYNEEEEEEEEEEO

[@justinfoy7514]

To have the Wayne back would be awesome!!

[@johndurston6792]

Yes, yes and hell yah

[@HotBranch]

This was worth the wait. Curious as to why it looks like the knee block looks to be in some kind of plastic casing. Really like that the G6 pad has so many fitting options. Tried a set of G4s and, while they were nice, I couldn't get the fit quite right and frequently fell off the knee block. By Warrior's chart, I should wear a 33+1.5 and I'd regularly fall off the top of the block. I'm using some GT Pros at 34+2 and not having that issue any more (the Trav spec ProLaces might be helping). I like the addition of their version of a professor strap. The "580" looked to have a 75 degree palm, so I may make the switch, as a 90 degree palm feels wrong on my hand.

[@mikelow4374]

Curious about that knee block too

[@duckattak]

Yeh I have ZERO idea why they didn’t even mention that plastic knee block

[@trav4oilers]

because we are doing a big video on Tuesday! ;)

I will get you in brother, the slide plate looks impressive

Video 7 in a row, on vacation in Miami and still doing what's right for me and that's stopping by Travs Video! Let's goo!

[@trav4oilers]

I love you buddy

[@place_desjardins]

Video turned out cooler than I thought. I was thinking you were just going to show pictures of gear from a computer screen of Warrior's website. It looked there was a plastic plate over the knee slider. That would glide over ice with hardly any friction.

[@trav4oilers]

No we do it real deal bro . thanks for watching :)

[@jakescriven9705]

That knee area looks revolutionary surely some crazy sliding speed?!!!

[@Bateman61405]

Can’t wait to try the G6 The removable palm is a great idea, but I never remove it to wash it. Airing the gear out after every skate with a fan going and dryer sheets is more than enough. I’ve never had to remove the palms and wash them. I think I’m gonna go with the built in liner that you can’t remove

[@trav4oilers]

removable palms are cash money!

[@Matfast32]

Really excited to see the G6 line in person, not so much about the Axis 2 to be honest. I'm just glad Warrior finally made a toe bridge and kept the removal palms.

[@trav4oilers]

the toe bridge was well overdue

[@PivotalG]

Hey Trav, The biggest question is do they give Full Right goalies the same gear options as a regular Goalie? Or do they continue to get the shaft and only get one option?

[@trav4oilers]

this is solid question, it will make Tuesdays video :)

[@Matt-wc2mf]

I've heard good things about TRUE... Not sure where tho... 😀... I'll see myself out... In all seriousness, got some Warrior Ritual GT's on clearance a couple years ago and have been loving them. Probably another year or two of life left in them, so will probably end up with G6's on clearance by the time it's time to buy new stuff. Any plans for Warrior to try and get NHL goalies back into their gear? Or are they happy with NHL guys just using the sticks? But really, I'd love to see another demo day video like you did back in Juniors. Just a yearly update on what's available for each brand.

[@trav4oilers]

That flu has kinda ruined demo days but that would be awesome :)

[@ThomasMcGeeTV]

Recently got a set of custom Bauer Hyperlites, but super interested to see how the new Warrior lines perform.

[@trav4oilers]

how were your hypers?

[@ThomasMcGeeTV]

@@trav4oilers I like them so far! Rotate super easy and slide like butter on the ice. Plus they work great with Trav pro laces ;)

[@drakezimmerman_]

I was going to nab some G5s last year, but started to catch glimpses of the G6s with Jeremy Smith. My pads are literally being held together with zip ties and stick tape, but I think waiting for the G6s will be well worth it

[@trav4oilers]

smith is the like the poster boy!

[@Morgan_T31]

Bro how expensive was all that gear I just bought a warrior G2 trapper for 290 dollars just for the trapper

[@trav4oilers]

Tomorrows video has all your answers bro

[@reluch]

how does the glove fit? is palm thinner than g5 or same? how about pocket, is it bigger or same etc? im just wondering if there`s a possibility to make a palm of glove just as small as palm of hand and pocket as big as possible.. wouldn`t it be easier to catch pucks? if i had a chance to personalize my glove i would do this beacause im struggling with catching pucks - they usually pops out after hitting palm of glove instead of going into the pocket. Is it only my problem? Do u Trav have any tip for me about it? I think my glove posision is good enough..

[@trav4oilers]

thats a good question!

[@williammaroni3193]

Thanks for the note about junior size gear! I had no idea the tech was different for most companies. Do you know if the 26.1 glove will be available in junior sizes?

[@trav4oilers]

ITS NIGHT AND DAY different my friend! I dont believe it will e in junior size 6.1

[@brandonsuss]

My daughter had used warrior gear in net since 2018 she loves them. She just got a new to us 30+1 r/gt set. I know they are older set but don't have the money for 400-500 bucks for my 11 year old. Warrior always makes too notch stuff especially for the kids.

[@trav4oilers]

Thats awesome to hear Brandon :)

[@seankelly8687]

Very interesting! Thanks for making this. Did you try me on the ice?

[@trav4oilers]

not YET! Thanks for watching brother ;)

[@MIMadDogsHC]

Wow that looks great!! I really loved my m2 entry level stick already, best entry level stick on the market by far. Pumped that you don’t have to buy custom to get a 580 (I like all white pads so I can use padskins and change it whenever I want) might pick up everything but the blocker, since I still have a G4 and Bauer 2X blocker that I like

[@trav4oilers]

you're gonna love next weeks video

[@MrAndyNich]

A+ video.

[@trav4oilers]

We have a follow up this week :)

[@bfish9700]

Currently using a g4 pro glove, love it. I'm in a bauer blocker and g4 pads (probably getting SLR 3's though, those look exactly what I want). However, warrior pads have always played well for me and hypercomp, if they rebound like Bauers hmmm.

[@trav4oilers]

I dont think it'll be the same as bauer

[@ericracette460]

What about True? 😆

[@trav4oilers]

not in this video ;)

[@bendover3162]

[@kimdrake8681]

I’m not even kidding looking at all pads the g6 will be the best for me so those are what I am getting for next season

[@trav4oilers]

Goodluck buddy :)

[@swedreamhack5308]

Would want a (warrior G6) catcher to sit in the sofa and throw a puck into it for relaxation. I got two from my days playing but they smell like the death itself as soon as the slightest heat is applied into it. To answer the question; I'm exicted to see whatever gear you're wearing in the future.

[@trav4oilers]

hahah so gross but I like it

[@raider3164]

Why is warriors cuff on the backside of the glover so short. I had one and got so many shots on the exposed part of my wrist. On the back of my wrist. Loved the glove but had to go back to ccm.

[@trav4oilers]

I will ask Kirk for you!

[@ryana3679]

Given the last 4 or 5 Stanley cup winning goaltenders wore Bauer and or CCM and I think one Vaughn I would go with what is proven. Warrior and True just seem like they look good but the quality is lacking. Just my 2 cents.

[@ryangriffin8356]

All the guys who won it wearing CCM had their gear made by the same people who make the True gear. True gear has the best quality of any brand - all hand-crafted by the Lefevre family

[@trav4oilers]

ccm is true

[@ilyazhitomirskiy9218]

Warrior does not have the NHL license for goalie gear except for sticks. That's why you don't see Warrior pads in the show. It's the same for Simmons and JRZ.

[@MannyCruzal3]

Would you be able to get a g6.1 glove in a single T, custom? I’ve always wanted to try a 580 since you’ve raved about them but will never go to true (for obvious reasons) and won’t go to ccm, since I have issues with them as well so this is a definite game changer because I know 580 has been primarily ccm or lefevre/true for all of it’s life span

[@trav4oilers]

I think I will hopefully try a demo set soon :)

[@kole6146]

Looks like they are made better than the g 5s. I love the way the g 5 feel, but they feel cheaply made. I had to send a custom set back because the face of the pads had uneven bubbles in it. The second set wasn't perfect either. Hopefully warrior got that out of their system. I also had the G3s and they didn't have air slide, but were manufactured better than the g5s.

[@trav4oilers]

they look pretty food so far ;P

[@gmdaskham]

Looks at old RBK 8k... *cries* Looks at pricing on new custom Warrior pads... *cries* Looks at shipping to Australia... *cries and curls up in the corner*

Will the plastic on the knee thing on the ice stay or is it just to protect the Pad and will be removed before a game?

[@seniram845]

was that plastic cover over the knee board or is that a new slider material? Looks like a protective cover, which strikes me as a great idea for limiting wear

[@tonyhaugen80]

I was curious about this as well. If it is a plastic/vinyl material for sliding, my first thought was that it will crack or become brittle over time. Those of us that wear our pads and leave them in the car over night in -30F weather 😬

Wow that looks really cool! These guys are always pushing the envelope on innovation. Is that a transparent plastic piece on the outside of the knee block? I love how the 580 is so well known that he basically translates the 6.1 gloves to that number. Interesting how the 6.1 does not have a removable palm in the catcher. Is the feel that different between a removable palm and a traditional stitched one??
