JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Warrior was gracious enough to build these for me for Winterfest. The glove is the new QRL which will come out in the spring. Very cool concept and the AxyFlex cuff is the best iteration of a protective wrist cuff ever made in a glove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2096 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 I'm glad to see you posting this - it means we can talk about it :)Seriously these are the most comfortable gloves I've ever worn. The cuff is just pure genius. The ability to have a somewhat tight cuff without restricting movement at all is awesome.Looks like I'll be back in warrior gloves this spring :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solo_man11 9 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Those gloves really are nice looking. I was wondering if there will be an AX1 replacement.I have never heard of Phantum light protection and I presume it's more protective and lighter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Phantom has been in their gloves for the past two years; so the AX1 and the Covert already have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is Warlite impact protection then, or is it the same thing but warrior renamed it? I am thinking of getting custom Warrior gloves but in the AX1 but I guess I will have to wait and see if there will be an HD1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparky1 29 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 I may have to get a pair of these! wrist protection has been a big concern of mine lately since my current easton mako gloves don't really cover my wrists/arms due to me being pretty lanky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
althoma1 575 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 The QRL glove was super comfortable and the wrist protection is very nice. Personally, I just wish they were a little more form fitting in the back roll and fingers, but that's personal preference. They aren't as loose as 4 roll gloves, but aren't as snug fitting as gloves like the STX Surgeon 500 or even the 2012 Warrior Projekts. In fact, they felt a touch roomier than the current Coverts if memory serves me correctly, however; I've only tried the Coverts on a few times and haven't actually used them (I currently use Projekts as my main gloves and did demo the Surgeon 500 at a previous event and really liked those).

Reebok had it in their 9K and 11K gloves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevelknievel 51 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 The cuff has been around but I had 11ks and personally found the cuff to be too resrticting, while the qrl cuff seems to have more room for your arm and a lot more mobility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevelknievel 51 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah that's definitely part of it. The cuff is just flat out bigger on these as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2096 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Yup, agreed. And while I definitely prefer a tight glove with a wide cuff (basically the exact opposite of these), they seriously blew my mind how comfortable they were. By far the most comfortable gloves I've ever worn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevelknievel 51 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Agree with that as well, I'm in love with my stx surgeons but these even blow those out of the water. I'll definitely be picking up a pair come spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stick9 896 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 Impressive offering by Warrior. Such a nice feeling and fitting glove.And sick color way JR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewie 721 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 This was my best in show. So comfy and while the wrist is similar to reeboks, it's executed much better imo, the cuff is super mobile yet quite protective. Paired with the mesh gussets, these will be my next glove.

CB1 8 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 Glove looks great! Glad to see a manufacture try to build in better wrist protection. We see pros with "mods" on their cuff, so good that it is coming down to retail for the masses. My son will be happy as he misses his Reebok 9K gloves with flexible cuff, so he immediately loved these when I showed him! Great job Warrior! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJ0506 192 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 JR, in all the excitement on Saturday, I forgot to ask the Warrior Reps when/if these are going to go live on their online customizer... (My apologies for not addressing it Saturday) But, did they give a timeline for that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_game 452 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 I am going to nitpick but its tough to get past that stitched on Warrior on the cuff roll....The glove looks like a mix of Reebok cuff, Vapor Cuff Roll, and Covert/Totalone/MX3 design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
