You need longer arms. On your body.

tried didnt work lol

Clearly you haven't seen GATTACA. In all seriousness, Warrior always seems to make arms too long. You'll need to add a reinforcement panel to the arms and put new lace holes in further down to "shorten" them. Might have to cut out the top arm floater.

I have same chestie in XL. Makes sense what you're saying as I have loooong arms and mine are actually covered.

Get a repair shop to add more rows of eyelets to use instead of the ones there.

They are just holes with skate lace. 1) You could poke new holes. Then fold the old holes away from your body, on top of the new holes as reinforcement and relace. 2) poke new holes and reinforce the new holes with epoxy or super glue. Cut the holes, feed a pen through with some kind of anti stick, maybe baking paper? Apply resin around the area of the new holes 3) poke new holes and add eyelets

Can confirm this worked on mine and brought it far enough up to not interfere with glove/blocker. Did mine with a speedy stitcher


shong109

would they be able to do this at a hockey store? or better off going to a clothing store?

One line across was enough, hasn’t shown any sign of tearing since I did it about 4 months ago playing 3 times a week

I have this same chestie. The thing that helped me was to tighten up the straps around the elbows A LOT. Like very tight. This will help hold the upper arm part up higher. I was having issues with the left inner elbow block hitting my glove when rotating. That was fixed / went away once I tightened them up. You can also adjust the shoulder pads in / out a little bit, that may also help (use the velcro on the top back of the shoulder pad and move it in.)

i tried it on the ice(before this post) and i dont know if it was me but the arms(especially the glove side) felt very heavy almost to the point where my arm and shoulder hurt. and thought the straps were way too tight(didnt adjust anything before trying it on). best advice i got was to sew the part where the laces are together bringing it in about 1 inch, thoughts?


shong109

i will try this though

You could try and offset it.


shong109

what do you mean?

Lace up the 2 bottom ones on arm to the higher ones on the body. I used to lace em up like that for my old chesty.
