Dewka Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I have read the size comparison threads, and while it seems that most people are looking for "smaller, screen accurate" that just doesn't work for me at all. Im five foot ten and well north of 300 with big shoulders. ive owned SC armor, and gave it away. it just did not fit at all and I looked really ridiculous wearing it. Im not looking for lancer spec, Im just looking for armor to wear. Ive already lost close to 50 pounds since January and it looks like I would need to lose another 100+ to make SC anything near right for me. Is there anything out there larger than SC, or should I just move on?
Stroker Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 David I don't think there is right now. I know there's a couple of guys working on new biker scout armor. I really don't know how the sizes will run right now. Dont hold me to it but I think KS might be a bit bigger than SC.
pm07 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 FWIW, SC is going to be making larger armor, hopefully in January.
spike Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm working on new "large size" armour now. I'll post up as I finish molds from my earlier "1987-88" molds. these size's I'm making to fit me, 6foot, 48inch chest. I hope to get some pics from other "armour" to show the size difference, MC and mine, some to start with http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=14282 1

Yep, KS is definitely larger (in some areas), but not worth the effort to replace/rework the parts. My scout started as KS but now has mostly SC or CF parts.

Stroker Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm buying a set of Altmanns armor! Bottom line! 2
Dewka Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 that sounds reasonable. I have a 54" chest, and I know Scootch once spoke of making scout armor, but I think that is on indefinite hold. His Snowtrooper parts fit me great, so I had hoped that would be an option one day. I'll hold off then and wait for the new sets to come out. thanks for the feedback everyone
spike Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 wont be long now, shoulders are done, no pics as yet,I'll post them when I can with size's cheers
Bowfanny Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I've got a 52 inch chest and am 5'7" and am 258 pounds and now I am a little sad knowing that the SC armor might be too small for me.
wookieevader Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 It is possible to make it fit. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
Bowfanny Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Well that's comforting! Lol At least I'll still be able to work with the armor that I have my heart set on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Chunk Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Im the exact same height & weight as Bowfanny. My chest, back/hump, knees, TD & drop boxes are SC. Helmet & belt are KS & I think my arm armor is MC. The only part that mite look too small is the bicep armor from SC. The rest should be fine. My wife has an SC kit, so I've compared hers with mine & this is the only part that is way off in size. 1

The two nicknames that are floating around for me currently are Popeye because I have 15inch circumference forearms and Mini Hulk- for obvious reasons of strength and not attitude! Lol

I'm playing with some temporary armor stuffs right now, I'm actually unfolding a new Pepakura that's more accurate than the one that was put out a couple years ago. 2
BikerScout007 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Never thought I'd recommend KS armor but if the shoe fits....
Bowfanny Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Nah I'll be picking up my sc kit here really soonz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
gman Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I am torn on what armour to order. I also have broad shoulders and a big chest. I will see what the new year brings. Thanks! Greg
squee113 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Does anyone know if the SC Armor will work with a 6'2" 220lb build. I am looking at getting this, but want to make sure that would fit me.
Bowfanny Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I just received my SC armor today and I'm at 5'8" and 250lbs and the chest armor looks like it's going to fit me very well. My chest is 52" around. Then again I've not asked for a critique on sizing with photos yet. Will do that here really soon. When In Doubt- Send a Scout!
Dewka Posted August 7, 2016 Author Posted August 7, 2016 Any updates on armor since December? There's at least one other person here...who is much larger than me...who would like to go scout if big enough chest and back armor becomes available.
Dart Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Spike's armour seems to be bigger. I'd give him a ring and see what he says.
TK Rome Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I have a 52" chest and I just received my SC armor today. I did notice the chest plate is a bit small but I've seen some guys work it and make it look great. So I'm not too worried about it.
