Would this vest be ideal for a woman to use?

I would say it is not ideal for a women. The vest does shift and bounce some, so it may not be comfortable on your chest. I would recommend a backpack style, or weighted belt.

it is ideal for everyone. since it is short you can move around. the weights can be removed so you can use less than 50lb when desired

Sorry, no....they do, however make some specially for women. Check it out. I just think this design would "hurt", particularly when running.

I bought one and its well made, durable. I haven't regretted it. had purchased a GOLDS it lasted 3 months, have had MIR over a year, use it every other day and still in great shape

It can be but the weight of 50lbs on the shoulder can a lot for a first time user but the weights are remove able

Hey Carla I bought the vest and have loved it. The weights are removable and the straps allow for adjusting and a tight fit. I am a guy, but Im sure that the vest would work for a women. I have seen vests designed specifically for women and their anatomical needs though also and believe ZFOsports does have a gender specific vest. Hope this was helpful

I don't think you would be really comfortable in that vest. While it is adjustable, my son who is thick through his shoulders and chest is only 5'5 and about 150lbs wears it and it fits him very well. I would think for a man of your size you may want to consider another option. Unfortunately, it will probably cost you considerably more money than this vest cost. I would recommend checking with Blackhawk! or LA Police Gear, both have a pretty extensive inventory and pretty good prices and the quality of the merchandise that I have purchased has been great. Good luck!

Absolutely. This is a medium-sized bag that would be appropriate for women and it has a smooth leather look that is elegant and rugged. Again, good for men and women

A very nice vest. Comfortable, light-weight, yet warming. I like all the pockets :-)For a xxl woman, I'd suggest a large size. Return policy is great, so no worries.

The Osprey Stratos 34 is perfect for women. It fits across the back very comfortably and the hips belt fits perfectly as well.

It's not really adjustable for height and the straps over the torso are more for a men's fit. I would suggest one specifically for a woman.

I would not recommend it. I am a woman and it didn't seem durable enough for me.

Vest is well made and easily adjustable. Not sure if it will fit but I imagine it would. Can be let out a lot.

Yes. It is quite adjustable because of the Velcro straps. It should not be any problem at all. I recommend wearing it as snugly as possible, because the vest is comfortable but especially when its shifting around is minimized.

Your height and weight is more important than your age, I'm 5' 10" & 210 pounds, but I think this vest might fit someone as small as 5' 6" and 130 pounds. Better to get an actual answer from someone with a small frame. Good luck!

It's a pretty universal fit, although it won't be as tight as some women's jackets. I tried on a few jackets at wal- mart to get the sizing before I ordered it. Maybe have her try on a few men's jackets to get the proper size. Great jacket by the way and the pads are hidden well.

As a 6' 1" 125 pound guy, it fits reasonably if I thighten all the straps all the way, but still a bit looser than I'd like. I'd imagine you'd find this vest too loose and floppy for your size, unless you plan on wearing a pretty heavy coat of some kind underneath..

I would recommend the women's vest. It goes up to 30 lbs and it more suited for a lady's frame. Search womens MIR vest. Unless you need something heavier.

I don't want to discourage you, but I don't think this is a very good idea. I find that the vest doesn't fit that snugly (at least on me) - it bounces and would probably chafe. But I've only tried with a T-shirt underneath. Maybe with another layer or two it might work, but then there's the heat factor. I've been walking briskly on a treadmill (along with doing pushups and pullups) with it and that's works nicely, but I think that running with it might be overly-ambitious. But I could be wrong.

I can't say with certainty since I got a medium size vest. It might depend on whether you want to zip it up or not. If not, probably no problem. If you do, keep in mind that the zipper on this vest is often hard to unhook. There is also a strap that snaps closed. It is looser than the zipper, so may be enough to work for you.

I think it would be too big and bulky for a very small person, like a child. But I am a medium sized woman and it fits snugly so I could see it working for someone a little smaller than I am.
