I still have trouble finding most types of clothing cut for women. Back in the days when Extrasport was the "only" PFD manufacturer of note, many women lobbied hard for a female-fitting PFD. At first they said "good idea, but..." Then they said "we're working on it but..." As many know, it finally happened. Extrasport came out with their Ladie's Solution; Lotus with a Lola, Kokatat's MsFit and probably more too. Funny thing is that we sell many more of the "women's" PFDs to men than to women! They're just that comfortable for MANY people. Maybe the designers will learn from this experience and develop an even more comfortable line of PFDs for everyone. They are on to something!
