MY best advice ordering 2 custom sets previously, follow the chart!! Each time I did this warrior reps both agreed that the way I calculated was correct. Remember as well, when you do this, if they don't fit Warrior will make you another set........anyways, track the FTK and line your knee where it needs to be. For me, I am 21.5 FTK so that puts me in a 37+1.5 (stock thigh rise). However, if you look at their chart, they also show you what the recommended overall pad size is based on height. Since the 37+1.5 recommended body height is taller than I am, I went with the overall pad height recommendation for my height of 6' 1 1/2" which ends up as a 36+1.5 pad. So simple math, keep the knee at 37 and drop the pad height by 1", puts me in a 37+0.5 pad. Fits perfect. Always feel free to reach out to warrior on IG or anywhere else to show them your stats and what pad height you want prior to ordering and see what they say.
