Intro & New Features

The next installment of Warrior’s Ritual goalie gear is finally here; the Ritual G6 E leg pads look to bring a solid combination of tech from the highest-end model and . Features include Airslide 3.0, CoverEDGE , a 360 TriFit leg channel, and Active Response straps.

External Material

Airslide 3.0 is an upgraded form of the previous Airslide seen in older Warrior leg pad models. It’s a polycarbonate slide plate structured specifically to increase sliding performance by lessening friction along the surface throughout the entire game.

Internal Construction

The Warrior G6 E sticks to what worked in the previous G5 SR pads, which is the use of an HD foam core to increase durability and responsiveness. The foams help stabilize the knee for maneuvering in the butterfly position.

Pad Break

The G6 continues to use CoverEDGE technology, which is a forward-lean design that creates a better angle when challenging the shot. The outer roll has also been optimized to allow you to hug the post better, which in turn would make for a better seal in both the RVH and butterfly positions.

Boot Angle & Toe Taper

The toe box on the G6 Pro is removable as desired. In response to some feedback Warrior had received from the previous G5, they have lengthened the Active Response toe and bootstraps to help with recovery, particularly in the hips and knees.

Knee Cradle 

For better control, the pads use a combination of Warrior’s 360TriFit leg channel and a contoured shape. The semi-built-in knee block returns from previous Ritual models, which is stiffer for a more stable knee landing. The knee cradle on the G6 is adjustable.

Strapping

The pads use Slingwrap knee and calf straps and have included an additional calf strap for a better anchor and greater connection to the leg.
