The “Ultimate Warrior” of Lacrosse – Equipment is Getting Expensive
23 Jul
While shopping around online to check out the latest lax gear, we came across our first pair of $200+ gloves. That got us thinking… what if we went out and picked up all of the top-end gear? What would it cost? The “Ultimate Warrior” of Lacrosse was born.
We named him the “Ultimate Warrior” since we discovered that Warrior had the most expensive piece of equipment in nearly every category. To be fair, there is some very high quality equipment out there that commands a higher price tag. But, there’s also a lot of high-priced products that appear to be nothing more than dressed-up versions of the less expensive models, with marketing gimmicks layered in.
Brine, STX, Gait, and the others have their share of pricey duds, but it seems that Warrior has really stepped up their game (err… pricing) with their “pimped out” lines.
