Hey guys, so I have to take my armor thighs in a bit. If anyone has any tips on taking a good measurment and trimming techniques im all ears. I dont know where to start once I open them up.

First throw out your measurements. It is about how it feels and looks ON YOU!!!  Get a helper. Put the thigh on and pull it up near your groin. Have your helper get behind you and squeeze the halves together until tight and the halves are overlapped. Then have them loosen the halves until it is comfortable with a little room to spare. Make sure this fit is consistent at the top and at the knee. Once you have the fit that is comfortable on you, have your helper continue to hold the parts in their place and mark a line down the middle of the back of your thigh. Make sure this is someway marked on both halves so you can mark and trim this line when you remove the thigh. Use a straight edge to mark your final lines prior to cutting so you get an even butt joint.
