Thigh fitting help


Recommended Posts

I'm hoping this is in the right place and it doesn't step on admin toes.

I am wanting to know how tall your thigh armor should be.  I understand its not a given height because we are not all the same height and ...human physiology is a huge consideration. 

That being packed, where should the bottom of the thighs reach when they are in place....do they allow you to bend your knee at all?  Bend your knee slightly or bend it at 90 deg?   I'm hoping im doing this right...not alot to go on.  The person helping me stopped responding because I guess I asked that 1 too many questions about a new subject to me.

Really depends on armor and your height, I'm 5'11" and can bend my knees a small amount, I can't go up stairs unless I crab walk. Some add mobility cuts to the rear as some on screen troopers had them but for me I have enough gap around the knees and just wouldn't look good in my case.

 

ANH troopers, notice most thighs sit just behind the top of the sniper plate, some are just above
