I absolutely LOVE my g4 blocker! I like the glove but I made the mistake of buying all black gloves to be badass or something. luckily someone bought them for nearly retail. I rebought a white/black blocker. Trying to find another glove. I wear 13" player gloves. G4 pro glove was easy to close and fit super light and comfy for my smaller hands. I can barely close a 2s pro palm glove :( Great video, made me chuckle a few times. OH and I tossed a shout out for you in an email I sent to Coveted about getting a helm made.
5:00 *Less surface area, but supporting the same amount of weight. So each pad to ice contact area will need to support more weight as opposed to another pad that supports the same amount of weight across the entire pad. Not sure if this really works or another gimmick.*
Definitely going to consider getting these for my next set, tried them on in a store and they felt so good it was ridiculous. I have an old pair of warrior swaggers from like 2010 and they are almost as light as a pad from a few years ago, it's insane. I still use them for roller hockey because I don't want to ruin my good set of Bauers.
I totally thought they sucked when they first broke on the scene. Didn’t help I thought almost every Warrior product was ugly as hell. Turns out their HQ is like one hour away from me. It’s taken a long process of like 15 years, but now I’m sitting here with like 80% Warrior gear. They’ve come a long way and some of their lines have completely won me over. Still haven’t converted leg pads but I’ll check these out for sure. Don’t know if they can get me there, but I do love their glove
Hey man, you can make a floating T yourself. It's not difficult at all, you need very long laces though, pretty readily available in white, if that's your preference. VOGoalie has a video on it.
Friction doesn't have anything to do with surface area though. Pete Smith is a smart guy but a lot of these things are just marketing. Unless something changes in recent years, light foams will always break down faster. They will feel just as stiff and give you the same rebound but eventually will break down faster. A mattress specialist told me it's the same thing for pads as well. Foams are foams.
I play bantam A, and I’m getting a Bauer 2S Blocker for sure this season. I have used a CCM glove all my life and I really love the 600 break, so I’m not sure what glove to get next, I really want something light. I’m still really debating on lots of pads this season. Any suggestions on pads and glove?
I'm having such a hard time w/ the G4s. Went from CCMs to Warriors, and at first, pads felt amazing, but the problem is - can't seem to seal the ice , or drop down quick enough. Tried all different types of strapping. Feels like any small leg movement lifts the pad up. Anyhow, played maybe 10 games ... and I swear at least 50% of goals all 5 hole ... and now dropping way to quick, and getting all my cookies stolen (from my cookie jar, sitting on my net)... To give the pads the benefit of doubt, well went back to old CCM (2016 model I think), and than traded for a week with guy who wanted a go at the Warriors (for new CCMs E5.9). Funny thing is, after getting use to the Warriors, and moving to CCMs again, some shots are coming low where In my mind it's a goal - and surprise the pads on the ice doing it's thing - stopping the puck. (think might have to do with the close channels, and that the pads are just so unbelievable light.) Anyone else had this problem from transitioning to open channel to warriors ?? - and tips
I did find they started curling up a lot towards the end. Not sure what to say cause I dont wear warrior anymore man . hope you enjoy todays new vlog :)
Great review. One question about the G4 pads. At 7:07 it looks like there's a gap between the thigh rise and the floor. Is that gap there if you're in your butterfly on the ice? Can a puck sneak under there?
bratprince11 in my experience with the G4’s that’s eliminated once you actually have the pad on. I think it makes a difference if you have your knee in the knee stack, balance wise for the pad.
im still on g2's and im still in love with them. i do with the palms came in a smaller size (not shorter, smaller. i have skinny fingers, and they are swimming in the med blocker palm)
Trav you transferring to Adrian College after this season??? You are one of the only youtubers to ever throw up your address. Look forward to a bunch of pizza deliveries. Hehehe. Does the old lady want Gluten free crust? Look into getting a PO box to save you some headache.
hey trav, i am currently looking to get new pads. i started playing 8 years ago. but i dont have much to spend on pads. like probably $500 usd or so. i am looking and im not sure what pads are good for me. i like a soft pad with a stiffer face. and i am looking for a 34+2 it doesn't have to be +2 but thats what i have and i like it. please let me know if you have any ideas. thank alot
@@trav4oilers thank you. I have been looking but everything is absolutely destroyed in my price point. Like falling apart. Thanks for making and effort and still commenting on such an old video ❤
Last warriors I got... Warrior messiah. Switched to Reebok. Now with ccm premiers. I do not regret my decision. Tried Bauer rx line rhen the Bauer supreme 1s over the past year. Sticking with ccm my guy. All day.
Dwizzle Schrute Messiah line came out BEFORE Warrior acquired Smith Hockey and Pete Smith started design of the first Ritual line. The pads they make now are head and shoulders above the Messiah line. You wouldn’t be disappointed if you were wearing G4 or the R/GT2 line.
Rollerfly. They attatch to the inside of your pads, and they're basically delrin plates, with little roller balls in them. They make plastic balls for sport court and metal balls for concrete and street playing. They're about the only way you'll get a slide off the ice, I use them and they're 200% worth the 180$ investment.
I did a demo of the G4 and they wouldn't rotate for me. Kept fighting the pads. Had my two WORST games of the season. I had high hopes for them because all of my friends who have them swear by them. I was extremely disappointed. Also, the glove was the worst. Nothing stayed in.
Omg yes lol, luckily my son is pretty close to my size, had a free skate so I took his gear, Brian's has always been my dream gear, until I wore it following warrior g4pro, couldn't compare, warrior annihilated it, was thrilled but devastated all at the same time
I hate them for the pure reason of they are ugly. Not the colorway the pad it's self I hate the triangle padding on the outside of the pad and I hate the binding less glove look.
I bought my G4’s because of your reviews so you saying you hated them scared me for a second because there still new for me 😂
I’ve been using warrior sticks for two years and I like it way more than ccm or Bauer I feel like warriors sticks get the puck off faster
I’ve been rocking warrior gear this season and I love em.

Great video! I got me hook line and sinker, I just had to find out what went wrong and why you hated warrior gear all of a sudden. Haha nice work.
Can you do a video on how you setup your GoPro in the net

Nice job an getting into the Hockey News Man they got a whole article about you.They even mentioned your fight.Keep it up.
great video and great breakdown of the G4's. Keep it up!
I love your channel!

I’ll buy them from you Trav. I’m your size 😉
Clear form !! keep up the good work !! success in the future And by the way which club are you in? If not the secret
Thanks for the review. I’m trying to save up some $$ to buy the G3 or G4 this year

Can you make a rewiwe on the 2s sticks
I dont understand?? Your title says you hate Warrior? typo? I didnt see much hate tbh.
Goalie Dad 33 clickbait
he said he hates warrior because the proved him wrong
Form is looking great! Only think I still see that could be improved is speed. That’s a big factor in success at higher levels.

@@lukezacharias5341 Thanks! This helps a lot. Looking to buy G4's in the spring.
Great video. But I’m still confused about if the leg channel is tight or loose
im still on g2's and im still in love with them. i do with the palms came in a smaller size (not shorter, smaller. i have skinny fingers, and they are swimming in the med blocker palm)
Yooo trav where did you get those covers for your pants? I’d like to get white with the red stripe!
Sideline swap man
@@trav4oilers I can’t find any LOL.
Yes!!!! Another Full Right Goalie 🔥
Love my G4s, love the removable palms...Godsend!
Joakim Karud is the plug when it comes to cinematic music. Solid review too

Id say look at Sidelineswap. Great place to shop and great options . Maybe G5 or 20.1
@@trav4oilers thank you. I have been looking but everything is absolutely destroyed in my price point. Like falling apart. Thanks for making and effort and still commenting on such an old video ❤
Is there any flex to the pad or is it made to be stiff?
@trav4oilers will respond to your DM’s and he’s a nice guy
Do you live in edmonton??
What kind of mic do you use in games
Warrior gear is pretty good if you get new pads every season, or if you're fine with playing in them after they've quickly gotten super soft
Last warriors I got... Warrior messiah. Switched to Reebok. Now with ccm premiers. I do not regret my decision.
Tried Bauer rx line rhen the Bauer supreme 1s over the past year.

Did you replace the elastic straps on the toe that go under the skates with something else?
Pro laces
@@trav4oilers Easier on the ankles?
Trav! I like the Neistat style for the vlog! Keep them coming!
What is the difference between the G4 and the G4 pro or is it like Bauer 1s and s190
Terrance Archie yeah same thing
was the nianimo clippers? great team
I've never had leg pads fall apart faster than warrior pads. I think they were the 2012 model though.
I did a demo of the G4 and they wouldn't rotate for me. Kept fighting the pads. Had my two WORST games of the season. I had high hopes for them because all of my friends who have them swear by them. I was extremely disappointed. Also, the glove was the worst. Nothing stayed in.
izzmedic maybe you could’ve tried adjusting the straps.
Pens HockeyFan agreed mine rotate just fine
I demoed a set, rotated great for me, had to wear them looser then normal but still super comfortable
when warrior stops paying you..
Erik_thenagster never got paid
@@trav4oilers how much they pay you to say you dosnt get paid. Lol
@@letsgoisles8345 Not enough, still waiting for my cheque to cash
@@trav4oilers lol love your channel bud
You should try SLR2.
Been a goalie for 20 years now. Vaughn is the only way to go
This is definitely a Casey vlog if I’ve ever seen one
I feel like slr 2s would be good for you
Warrior sticks for forwards are great
I completely agree have the g/4 as well
Why is the title of this video I HATE WARRIOR when you said that you love Warrior in the video?
Wait so you don’t hate them? Hahah I was about to be so sad cause I’m picking up a set for myself :(
your video's are awesome! keep up the awesome work
Aren’t Warrior and Vaughn from Michigan?
Their offices yes
Playing out of the ol’ Frank Crane eh Trav?
8.00 GAA...
Dude, I know you are a nice Canadian guy, but do you just sometimes feel like beating some teammates?? Like physically hurting them?
Does warrior slides better than Brian’s Gnetik? Anyone?
Omg yes lol, luckily my son is pretty close to my size, had a free skate so I took his gear, Brian's has always been my dream gear, until I wore it following warrior g4pro, couldn't compare, warrior annihilated it, was thrilled but devastated all at the same time
GO JETS GO! WHEELER
Pete Smith makes there Goalie Equipment
Hi, always entertaining videos.
Since you’ve gotten Warrior you haven’t been the greatest
you a dumbass why Justin Bieber
Am I the only one who get a Casey vlog vibes ?
Xx_samed _xX it inspired me
5:05 Wrong that means more friction on the spots that are touching the ice
Trav dressing in the stands a head of Covid trend setter
almot 2 years ahead of the curve, lol
Get the 2X pro set
Back to Bauer! Back in the net!
Pete Smith is the man.
0:02 Anyone coming here from Tj hunts channel?
Ccm is where it at :p
I hate them for the pure reason of they are ugly. Not the colorway the pad it's self I hate the triangle padding on the outside of the pad and I hate the binding less glove look.
come oooooooonnnnn, i LOVE warrior, even though their leg pads suck
So you prefer the gloves Maggie?
Sidelineswap, Could be good, but it ain´t cuz its not worldwide.
i dont get it. If u hate warrior so much, why do you continue to use it?
Love dem vids though
no complaints what so ever
I have those pads
Meanwhile...
Man warrior pads are just so gross and ugly, especially the gloves, horrible pocket and just an awful look
Nice trav
Wow you hate warrior
ferries in norway are way better
Ok Casey neistat
Kind of a misleading title 😂
MFWH OOP but it’s not a lie
I sure don't play goalie but I score 4 goals a game
Nice
