Warrior Luxe (coming from a small Bauer X:40)

Recommended Posts

Currently I'm wearing a 13" Bauer Vapor X:40 (also have an X:20 for pick street games) but I'm beginning to think they are a tad small. The bone on the inside part of my hands (the ball of the hand near the wrist) doesn't sit within the palm area of the gloves. It's protected by the 2 pads on the bottom of wrist part of glove. My only concern was always the break in if I would've gone to a 14" and having them be too loose. My fingers come to the end easily, also.

I'm looking to get into a Warrior Luxe but there is virtually no place around here that carries them. It looks like the Luxe and Vapor are pretty comparable so ordering a 14" may be ok? Looking for suggestions and feedback guys! Appreciate it as always.

The more you start playing on a daily basis you'll soon start learning which glove size is best for you. I thought I was perfect in 13"until I started using 14s and didn't lose any mobility and appreciated the better protection.

Bauer Vapor 13s do tend to run smaller than some other gloves however.

I second that. Was a 13' for like 4 years, tried a 14' this year and feel much better in them. Just kept 13" for so long because I just thought that was my size.

Thanks for all the replies...but do the Luxe fit closer to the Bauer Supreme or the Bauer Vapor? The Supreme fit a bit narrow when I've tried them on. I just think the Vapor fits perfect but have heard great things of Warrior's lineup.

They def do not fit narrower then the Vapors. I tried both on just recentely and decided to buy X60s instead and have not looked back. The Luxes feel more bulky, like they have thicker padding. Nice glove, theyll probably break in nice...but I'm in love with my X60s, best glove I ever owned. (My last were Warrior Franchises)

On a side note...I made the switch from using 14"s my whole life, now using 13s and they're much better for me.

I'd say Vapor as a teammate has narrow fit luxes they open up pretty well near the cuff. Haven't tried the regular"wide" fit yet. So can't comment there.

Aren't the Narrow and Regular fit in the Franchise model? I've only seen one 'fit' of the Luxe...

I've got a pair of Luxes that are clearly marked "Luxe 13N".

Ahhhh, OK...maybe the couple sites online I was checking em out at just didn't specify.

I should also say that mine are customs bought off someone on another board. maybe the retail versions are all standard.

Yea, I believe the retail version are all standard. Now I'm looking at the Projekt (tapered fit probably the closest to the Vapor). Glove addiction problems! UGH! Haha.

To the ops. I just went from a 14 inch x:60 pro glove to a Luxe 14 inch. I would say the Luxe gloves fit a hair bigger. SLightly longer in the palm and the fingers. Width is about the same. When I first got my x:60's they were short in the fingers and the palm stopped before they reached the bottom of hand. They stretched out and felt great, but they are full of holes and stink to high heaven so I swapped them. The Luxe glove feels perfect is size. They feel broken in already! Almost identical fit width wise.
