Madmartigan Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm just a hair under 6'0" and currently about 190-195 lbs. Not terribly overweight, but not the slim runner's build I used to be. Would I have many concerns trying to fit into any of these 3 armors? A little soft in the mid-section and I probably have slightly larger than average thighs and calves. I'm a former triathlete, and I do plan on trying to get back in the pool and on the bike soon -- that should help. Thoughts? Thanks!

BH5204[501st] Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think you'd fit as is. I'm 6-00 235 lbs muscular build and I wear AP. I do have to use FX arms, the Ap were just way too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I do have to use FX arms, the Ap were just way too small. Are you talking about the Biceps or the forearms. If its the biceps that should be an easy shim. If its the forearms, I'd prolly stick with the FX pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK2233 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think you'd fit just fine. The TM forearms are quite big. I don't have to put velcro on them at all - hand just slips in and out easily. Biceps seem reasonably generous too, certainly at least as generous as FX. Go for TM -- you won't regret it. Fabulous stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmartigan Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Go for TM -- you won't regret it. Fabulous stuff. Well, I have a PM out to him and am weighing it against the other two options. We shall see! Thanks, all! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 You should be fine. I'm 6'0" too and 180 lbs and I actually had to trim my TE2 on the sides of the ab/kidney. You may not have to do any shimming at all and still be able to close the side gaps. Even when I binge and go up to 185 I can still fit w/o any issue. TM is nice but very pricey given the exchange rate compared to TE2 or AP. You may have to shim one of the calves (left) as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
