WARRIOR LUXE GLOVES

Model Specification

• Size: 13”
  

Fit

Warrior’s Luxe gloves provide a more form-fitting feel than a traditional glove. I personally like a really snug fit in my mitts and the Luxe glove is pretty close to that; the Projekt gloves being the more contoured fit. They glove is extremely comfortable and allows for great mobility right out of the box.

9/10

Protection

The Luxe glove provides pretty decent protection although I must say that I have been bruised/cut on my thumb a couple of times due to hard stick contact (which I don’t understand how that’s possible). Nothing too bad, but definitely have noticed a bit more pain when hit in the thumb as opposed to any other area on the glove. Having said that, the overall protection is decent, I just wanted to point out some areas of interest.

8/10

Weight

The Luxe gloves are very lightweight and are quite conducive to stickhandling and maneuverability. They are easily up there with the lightest top of the line glove currently.

10/10

Durability

I have 2 pair of Warrior Luxe gloves that I have been using for about 8 months and they are in excellent condition. The palms are still in great shape and no exterior rips or tears. A couple of threads have come loose in non-impacting areas, but that’s about it.

9.5/10

Intangibles

The gloves are quite slick looking and provide for excellent maneuverability.

9/10

Conclusion

Warrior continues to excel in the area of gloves and the Luxe is no different. If you are in the market for a durable, nice looking, form-fitting glove with excellent range of motion and soft palms, I would definitely check out the Luxe gloves!

FIT

The fit was a bit tighter than I was used to coming from using Bauer 4-Rolls, however they grew on me and I feel that this is the best fitting glove I have worn playing hockey. They did not take long for me to break in and they have great mobility. The retail palms have an extra layer on them that seems o be for added grip as well as durability and they feel great. My pro-stock pair has standard nash palms as far as I know and I like those a little better than the retail ones.

PROTECTION

The gloves offer great protection in all areas in my opinion. The fingers and back roll employ the bone padding system which is a contoured plastic insert on top of the padding. I have taken multiple slashes on my hands and I have never had any injuries from them.

WEIGHT

The gloves are extremely light. I'd probably say that they are the lightest pair that I own.

DURABILITY

I have been using these gloves for at least a year now. I have multiple pairs of gloves, however these get used at least once if not twice a week. The palms look great still (I use a layer of pre-wrap on my knob), slight pilling but holding up great overall. The exterior has not had any rips or threads come loose at all.

INTANGIBLES

The gloves look great. I am someone who has OCD when it comes to matching and the colorways look great. The silvershield liner seems to do a great job killing/preventing bacteria because the gloves have no smell and I have owned some gloves that no matter what I did eventually carried that distinct hockey odor.

CONCLUSION

These are my favorite gloves of all time now and even though I try other gloves from time to time, I always come back to these. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great high-performance and high-quality glove.

RATING

9.5/10: I'd give it a 10 because it is hands down my favorite glove, however nothing's perfect so I don't see anything getting a 10/10.
