i would of thought any harness would be suitable for the ladies.:confused1:

 

Me too, I was just wondering if any were specifically better. Seem to be very few ladies on here who can comment though.:001_huh: In a way I guess most harnesses will be better for men than women as the designers make the harness for the largest market..

???

 

You may not have noticed, but women tend to be a completely different body shape to you blokes :001_rolleyes:

 

Deeper pelvis', larger hip to waist ratios, generally shorter and lighter...

 

THAT'S why harnesses designed for men can at best be uncomfortable and at worst seriously painful.

 

I can't think of any women specific harnesses. The best bet will probably be anything that comes in S or XS and is very adjustable.

from past experance a popular harness with the smaller ladies is the hightec tree hopper or for other 'sizes' the tree flex is good as the girls are more comfortable with the lower on the hips fitting of this harness

If it's any help I started with this hips dilemma and ended up getting a Petzl Sequoia, I have no problems with it and it's very compact and light :001_smile:
