I'm 5'6" 140 pounds and I was wondering if an Altmann would make me look like a bobblehead?

 

Seen a few threads where guys are claiming it's for the bigger guys?

Not to rain on Spike's parade..... ;)

 

But for your size I think an SC would be a better fit

I agree I think a SC would suit you just fine

Salacious that looks fine to me. You don't look bobbly

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.

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.

Here's my Altmanns on me: 0505162009_HDR-1_zps4cwzxa4o.jpg

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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. ab92fca71ab6561570ce3fd5fc1faab3.jpg

So, did everything work out? Did you get it yet? If so, are you happy with how it fits?

Hello there! I am considering an Altmann helmet. I'm pretty much the same height and weight you are. I was wondering if it was a perfect fit. Thanks!
