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".

Good areas

Wrist guard is great Enabling the wrist to flex naturally, the wrist pads on the Warrior Riot lacrosse gloves have the normal three pad coverage around the back, featuring an accurately located split. This means just about a double covering of protection at the back of the wrist because the 2 outer pads almost touch.

Pinkie padding The small finger receives some extra coverage with an extra pad on the side of the glove. It is considered one of those must-have qualities of gloves. The protection over the back of the fingers is smartly placed directly over the knuckles, thus they are not uncovered by the gaps between the pads. The side of your index finger is somewhat exposed, but no more than most other gloves. Companies that are trying to innovate might do well to come up with something for this area.

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.

Cool hands from the cool design Your fingers are well ventilated by way of the fine mesh air vents integrated into the palm. Additionally there is a more substantial fine mesh piece near the bottom of your thumb to further increase the airflow. This all blends to help keep the fingers dry and fresh by maintaining the air streaming through.

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 palms don't like getting wet, therefore to make sure your Warrior Riot gloves do endure you will need to get them dry. You'll need to keep them someplace where they are going to get some warmth and some ventilation. Massaging the fabric is a very good way to ease them if they run dry and get a trifle hard. You'll surely wear out your fabric if you put them on like this. You will only have to work them for a minute and they're going to become softer.

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.
