nobody Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm giving my old set of origional ArmorFX to my friend but his thighs are too big for the armor. I understand that newer generation FX thigh armor is larger, is this true? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defstartrooper Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well thats what everyone says although i still see people having to shim them. I have a set of black armour i bought off sitharmour and i can say the thighs on that definitely are larger than the ones that came with my white FX kit that i bought off an ebay seller in the UK so i guess it depends on whoever is pulling them. I have the complete opposite problem myself having super skinny thighs so i have to trim like **** to make them not look like clown trousers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Maybe kits should include one of these; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve12201 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 or this type of under-armor might help.... www.theforce.net/.../jinnkenobi-pump-you-up.jpg Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve12201 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I've heard some of the guys here using foam inserts to take up the space. That might help. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakengine Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm certain the FX thighs are larger than the more authentic kits, but they're also shaped strangely. I fitted mine to my thighs, cutting a good bit off in the process and somehow they STILL look like barrels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SethB6025 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Sorry for derailing. The current FX kits do indeed have larger thighs, though they lack some of the countor the old ones had. Before he drops money on new ones though he should try to pop yours apart and shim to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that newer generation FX thigh armor is larger, is this true? Thanks, They are larger. If you need a set of the new ones, drop me a PM. Also, if you are modding your thighs so they don't knock about when you walk, I have added an elastic strap loop, stretched between a small ABS strap on one side (cemented to the inside with a 2" elastic strap loop underneath), to a small ABS strap cemented on the other side with the loop underneath. When it dries, it creates 2 tensed parallel elastic straps that go from one side to the other just above the knee. When you slip it on, your leg goes between them, centering the thighs perfectly, and not allowing them to bang about when you walk. I will try to get a pic up as soon as I can find it. It works really well, and is a LOT cooler than foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Thanks for the ideas, I think that I will try to shim them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
