Koumori Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm 5'6" 140 pounds and I was wondering if an Altmann would make me look like a bobblehead?

But for your size I think an SC would be a better fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torm Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I agree I think a SC would suit you just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm just about three inches taller and I love my Altmanns! There is a great thread over in the armory discussing all the Scout lids available. Give it a look see it's a great reference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koumori Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Retro, I think I looked through that sizing but Altmann wasn't talked about as much as others. If you guys think I'll be good I'll go for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Here's my Altmanns on me: The XO is right in that the SC is a smaller bucket and what's important is how it fits on you. Maybe a good idea would be to post up in your garrison boards to the local scouts and see if you can try a bucket on. That way you're sure to know. Looks like you got a host of 'Bama scouts in your garrison and I'm sure they'll be happy to chime in. Again what's most important is how it fits and looks on you when suited up.

Koumori Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah we have the 38th recon squad here. I think I may go with an Altmann now and it looks like I can always trade it or sell it again if I decide I need something different. Seems like Altmanns have a good rep here.

That they do and I'm sure you'll be really pleased with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koumori Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Can't wait to put it on. First scout helmet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibbel29 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I am 6'1 and 155 pounds nd a small head but stll works for me.. SC should be even better for you, but ALT will do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koumori Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 sibbel, I would love an SC one but 450 for the assembled version not including shipping is just too steep for me. Spike is giving a great deal on his alt helm finished with 3 other parts I need to complete my snow scout. It just makes more sense. If I get my alt and find it just isn't fitting me I'll look at trading or selling though. Hope I don't have to however!

Starwheels Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Would an Altmann fit me? i've been talking to sc via fb messanger & been told due to me having a big / fat head there buckets wount work for me so need to know if a Altmann will fit me as i'm 6'.1 James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shada Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 In all of the comparison threads I've read Alt seems to be considered the go-to bucket for big heads. I have an Altmann myself and can recommend it as a nice bucket Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It is Spike you need...PM him you must😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koumori Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Spike gave me a good deal and I picked up His knees belt and back finished. I'm building a snow scout so that's all I need besides the helmet. Hopefully it'll fit my smaller frame.

I'm pretty much the same height and weight you are. I was wondering if it was a perfect fit. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
