The Warrior Alpha FR2 Glove sports a highly protective foam package that utilizes two different foam densities and is reinforced with a layer of plastic inserts. A high-density foam works together with the pe inserts for impact absorption while a thick layer of standard foam underneath adds coverage and comfort to the back of the hand.
Warrior's Buttersoft Feel delivers game-ready mobility before you even put them on. This design consists of a two-piece thumb, stretch nylon finger gussets, and flexible backhand construction. Warrior then combined their Tufftek 2.0 and DynaMesh Cable Knit nylons for excellent durability against wear and tear when battling on the rink.
An embroidered cuff roll gives the FR2 pro-level pop and the palm consists of a black clarino with an added overlay for great stick feel. Internally, the liner hugs the hand with soft comfort and does a great job of wicking away sweat and moisture throughout the game.
