The traditional 4-roll hockey glove design has been perfected with this years Warrior Franchise narrow fit hockey gloves.
Warrior has made several improvements on the Franchise. Starting on the exterior Warrior has used a combination of materials rather than just the carbon print PU. The Franchise now features a fair amount of TuffTex nylon material. This is a great material, exceptionally durable, lightweight, and does not hold water, so you don’t need to worry about it gaining weight during the game. Warrior Franchise also has some high-grade synthetic leather and some carbon print synthetics down the middle of the glove.
Warrior mentioned that many of their NHL players were requesting more wrist mobility out of their personal versions of the Franchise gloves. So they decided to give the retail glove a flared-out cuff for increased wrist mobility. This is most noticeable on the inner wrist side, and makes a huge impact. It definitely offers more wrist mobility compared to last years Franchise. Warrior also decided to increase the cuff roll a little bit making it look like it has a shorter cuff, however, the cuff is not actually smaller it just looks and feels like it. You get the same protection but now with increased wrist mobility.
This version of the Franchise features a narrow fit. Same fit aspects of a traditional glove just slightly narrower reducing some of the negative space.

Previous Feedback
Comments: One of the most classic 4-roll gloves on the market. Surprisingly protective even without PU inserts. I guess the trilam foams work as advertised. This also makes them extremely light.

Comments: The absolute most amazing gloves EVER. I will never buy a different kind of glove. The mobility is amazing and the liner really wicks away the moisture from your hands. GET THESE!

Comments: SIIIICK wrist mobility. Bought these after I purchased easton Eq50's and HATED the lack of wrist movement. The cuff flare is enormous and there is a break in the wrist cuff that allows the two sides to move independently. Great protection, great mobility. Sweet looking gloves!!! I went for the narrow fit over the wide fit because the wide ones seemed a bit too clunky for me. Either way you can't go wrong. I have larger than average hands, so the narrow fit style glove fits closely around my actual hand and fingers and then at the wrist flares away to allow for a quite roomy wrist. (it seems that the wide fit does the same thing so the wide fit may have just a bit more wrist mobility, but it felt better to me to have the conforming palm and finger area and still have the wrist flare) The only flaw I can see is that the palm is made of a very soft (although multiple layers) suede-style material. I personally prefer a strip of leather on the palm, with the soft suede for the upper palm and finger area, but once I wear through the palms I'll just have them re-done the way I like. BUY THESE GLOVES!!!!
