    I have to say that body armor has evovled quite a bit over the last 10 years. Plate carriers are little more comfortable and have geater movement but you sacrifice some coverage. I have one and it is more comfortable. As for cost I wouldn't want to skimp on plates since that protects your life.

    Thank your neighbor and fellow gun owners for passing Prop 63. For that gun control is a winning legislative agenda.

      Well I get that, but the numbers of women in LE and the military aren't all that high, I'd wager that's even lower as they go up in cup size. Women with big cans have much better/ easier opportunities open to them,lol.

        What about dragon scales. With all those individual pieces, it might be easier to contour around curves.

          My boobs are fake, i had larger ones a while back, and when I went for a job change i was able to acc better fitments. Whats her sizing? Honestly soft armors like uspalm are ok. But yes far from ideal to heavier and bulkier plate carriers. But peeks my interest, why does she need heavy hard armor? If its typical home break in soft is good and price point doesnt hurt.

          For home i have a piggy rig. Theres a few sites like skd you can shop for. Use a larger plate then her body. Im really small. So yes using larger plate is a good idea however you need to add padding not just for comfort but also help it ride/fit better.

          I'm envisioning something along the lines of a spaghetti strap tank top my wife has. The cups are foam and preformed. Her boobs just fit inside, and if she was too small for it, they would maintain there shape, she just wouldn't fill them. If that makes sense. So why not make carriers and plates in this manner? I don't see why you couldn't make women specific armor, just like they do clothing.

          Is there just not enough demand? Wouldn't be profitable?

          P.S. Not sure how I ended up in the women's forum. Sorry for butting in ladies.
          I fit everything fine. Just had to buy bigger then myself to accom my chest. It isnt a big deal. Honestly though if cost is also an issue. Try uspalms offerings. Ive given some as gifts to a few friends. They are good to go.

              Maybe the ladies forum should become a NFZ (neanderthal free zone)? Will there be a grandfather clause? Will I get to stay because I was in before the ban?!
