Warrior Riot Lacrosse Gloves Reviews

By Steve Zones


Featuring removable cuffs which allow for rapid change, the Warrior Riot lacrosse gloves are likely the first set of lacrosse gloves to offer this sort of feature. They come with two sets of cuffs. For the great fit, the gloves boast an innovative fitted design that's firm. When you want a much better hold on your shaft that seems natural, the single layered palms definitely aid in this. They're strongly suggested for forward, midfield, goalie and defense players. The gloves are available in the regular sizing of 12" and 13".

Things I like

Wrist guard is great The wrist protection of the Warrior Riot gloves contain the standard 3 pad protection along the back with a properly located split to let your wrist to move normally. Both external guards just about touch, which equates to about a double layer of padding at the back of the wrist.

Specific small finger protection Your little finger receives some added coverage with an added pad on the side of this glove. Gloves without this feature actually are behind. The padding on the back of fingers is smartly situated over your knuckles, hence they will not be exposed through the spaces between the padding. The side of your pointer finger is somewhat uncovered, but no greater than most other gloves. Manufacturers that are seeking to do something different might do best to think of a solution for this spot.

External fabric is strong The Riot lacrosse gloves from Warrior include a strong outer shell. The large shielding pieces around the rear of the glove are quite firm. You merely have to touch them to feel this. You are most likely going to receive a great deal of use from these gloves for the reason that they give a durable and water proof outside fabric.

Finger slots really hold your fingers The Riot lax gloves from Warrior fit quite securely and that is a reason I favor in them. I was curious as to whether I had picked-up the 12" instead of the 13" for the reason that they seemed so snug. They are meant to be a snug fit when you 1st put them on, and once I'd taken a second look, I realised the pair were 13". They allow minimal risk of your fingers popping out from beneath the padding, exposing them to slashes. It's worthwhile putting up with the firm fit even if they do feel somewhat annoying. You will become accustomed to the tight fit and it is the kind of protection that you need from a lax glove. The firm finger-slots do, however, result in them complying with every single movement of the fingers so that is a wonderful bonus. The gloves implicitly stick to all the hand movements with minimal work.

Grippy palms that give fantastic handle feel I do not see any real need to tape your shaft, but in the event you like to play with a tremendous amount of grip then go for it. There aren't any specific attachments on the fingers or palms for extra grip, but you don't need any. You get a great feel of the shaft from the single layered palms. Single layered leather means that it's marginally thinner which implies it could wear through faster. But it does not seem like it with the Warrior Riot lax gloves. The fabric flexed very well from the start and felt light soon after. The palm was really flexible and effortlessly shifts with your hand. Without a doubt, they definitely are smooth and sometimes it seems that you've got nothing at all on. You will not need to wait around too long to break the gloves in. I didn't spot any flaws on the palms in any respect. The leather was still unchanged and showed almost no symptoms of wear and tear. Around the webbing area of the thumb I found a small amount of wear, but it wasn't much to bother with.

Ventilation is great Warrior has put in some mesh vents within the palms to help keep your hands ventilated. Further contributing to the venting, they also have a large fine mesh piece just near to the lower part of the thumb. All of them seem to get ample air flow for your hands to make certain they are dry.

Areas to enhance

Your wrists are all they cover Designed with quite short cuffs which do not expand further over your wrists, the Warrior Riot gloves actually seem to stop short in this aspect. Most of the brand names look like they're going this way about their models and I'm not much of a enthusiast of this. The new trend looks to be less is more.

I prefer a fixed cuff My personal concern with the detachable cuff is simply that; they are removable. Fixed cuffs will stay in position for longer and thus offer a lot more protection. When stitched in, there is not any chance for these to shift around and uncover the back of your wrist. With that said, there is not too much chance of these shifting out of position because they are large enough to guard the backside of your hand and they're strong enough to stay in place and endure the challenges of the match.

Gotta dry them out Leather gloves usually do not enjoy getting damp, thus to make sure that the Riot lax gloves from Warrior do survive you will have to get them free of moisture. A sunny area along with a bit of air movement is an excellent area to stick them. In the event the palms do dry up and become hard, rubbing them a little bit will ease them up. You'll certainly chew up your palms should you put them on dry. You merely need to massage them for a little bit and they're going to soften up.

Summary

Every now and then, something unforeseen transpires, and that is what I really like about evaluating lacrosse equipment. From time to time you discover a piece of gear that is actually high class and you don't have any expectations of it whatsoever. And a great example of this are the Warrior Riot gloves. However while I'm sure they're great, I've seen a handful of quips on discussion boards and overheard remarks about them that aren't complementary. They posses a broad range of appeal, from high level lacrosse players right down to we normal players. So if you are trying to find a brand new pair of lacrosse gloves, be sure to add these to your list.
