WARRIOR RITUAL G4 YTH GP

Brand new for 2018, Warrior Sports has unveiled their fourth iteration of the Ritual line dating all the way back to the Ritual G1 which debuted in 2012. Building off of the massive success of the G3, the G4 is built to bring ultimate performance, function and durability all while being the lightest gear on the market.

Starting with the inside edge, the Ritual G4 Youth features a completely solid knee and calf wing which is designed to give the goalie a seamless and fast slide. The removal of any sewing, stitching or hard edges provides better durability over time.

Next, there is a specific leg channel built for the younger goalie. The calf wraps, both inside and outside of the leg, are built with extra stitch lines to help the goalie get a tight connection to the pad without sacrificing rotation. On the outside of the calf, the G4 features a completely removed outside post wedge which provides the goaltender ultimate freedom and comfort for younger goalies.

The outer knee flap is sewn down, giving the goalie a tight connection when using the neoprene sling wrap behind the knee. G4 Junior pads will not come with a nylon knee strap or buckle through the knee section.

Throughout the toe section of the pad, the G4 pad will come stock with Active Response toe and boot straps which will give the goalie a tight connection with proper stretch to give the goalie crisp movements.

Finishing off the pad, there is a specific graphic coupled with a standard outer roll. This will make it easier for younger goalies to identify which pad goes on which leg, and ultimately providing extra blocking when in the butterfly.
