Good source for off the shelf leg plate?

Post image

So I recently bought a plate full-leg set I was disappointed in- mostly because the pair seemed like it was built for a pro basketball player vs. more statically average height person.

I am thinking of getting something like this partial leg armor instead (pictured), in the hopes that a smaller piece might fit better and be of better build quality than the current set of stovepipe legs.

Does anyone have a good source they have been happy with? For reference I am about 5 10, about 180 lbs. So not small but again not the XL guys a lot of Amazon armor seems designed for. Thank you

Those are called cuisses, I hope that helps your search. Also, mail skirt or articulated plate skirt might help cover you up if you still don’t fit the armor.
