I'm skinny. I need a pad in the fore shin of my sniperplate leg to keep it from tucking under my thigh, and I padded the back of both thighs so they hang the same. I have padding in my forearms , two strips in each along the outer and inner sides, so my hands are in the middle and with the strapping from bicept to forearm I don't get bites or too many clunks. I'd love to spend an hour with people to figure out the perfect fit so I can move around silently...but I've lost thirty pounds in the last four months due to unknown illness so my midsection is like a hoolahoop. I'll live with it.
