Galen Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Hey everyone! I've gotten basic trimming done on my Anovos trooper armor and I've currently run into a bit of a conundrum. My forearms are rather thin and at this point my forearm basically rattles around. To get it to fit closer, I would be cutting off about 2 inches and I'm rather nervous about making that sort of a cut. So, my question here is what would be the point at which I should stop cutting and start adding foam padding to make things fit? Is this just a "If it looks weird, don't do it" sort of situation? I'll upload pics soon if anyone needs some more info Thanks in advance!! Quote

Galen Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Posted April 20, 2017 Coolio. At this point, It'll look like a twig poking out of my forearm, so I'll do a little trim. Definitely not a full 2" anymore. I'll stick with padding mostly. Quote
Toddahhhh[TK] Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Beware on the lower trims on the calves, they will need to fit around your boots, not just skinny ankles. I didn't account for the boots being much larger, I hadn't ordered yet them when I trimmed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
