patsfire32 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hello, I recently looked at purchasing a set of armor from SC but I am concerned that I will have to really trim it since I am about 5-7 155lbs. I know on their website they say its meant for anyone ranging from 5-6 to 6-3 but I am looking for some feedback from anyone who has purchased armor from them that is around my body type. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 You'll be just fine with the SC. I'm about 5'8" 170lbs and I had to do minor trimming on the chest and back armor to fit my body type. There are smaller scouts who use the SC as well. If you like you can look through my build thread and see how I trimmed my armor out here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=14946&st=0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first time putting together something like this so any help is greatly appreciated. Also one more quick question. I don't have any of the tools used to trim and put the armor together. I'm assuming that I can pick up everything I need either at a crafts store or Home Depot correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Of course! That's what we're here for. You should be able to find most of what you need at the stores and there is always Amazon if you can't find a certain implement. Check for coupons and if they have a bonus card snag one as that'll help you save a bit. Research is key here so look through several build threads and see how some scouts built their armor. Above all have confidence that you can do it and ask a lot of questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoutScout Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm 5'6" and I love my SC armor. I really didn't have to do much to it to accommodate my height.

Bsp422 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 5'7" .... shorter ?? dang I'm looking into builds that will accommodate my stature at 5'2". At 5'7" and up you all seem like giants to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Oh psssft! We're not short we're just height challenged:lol: The SC will work fine for you as well. As I mentioned there is a bit of trimming to fit your body type as you want the armor to look good on you but it will work just fine and it's not as hard as it sounds. Heck if I can do it anyone can. We're here to help all of you to be successful and get approved. Now go get your armor ordered and start your build threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borba10 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I saw SC armor on someone about 5'6". He did not do very much trimming on his and looked perfectly fine on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
