Most of our highviz jackets, sashes and gilets come in general sizes such as Small and Large. Typically these are unstructured and designed for a body without the shapes that sometimes come with being of the female variety. Yes, we know that bodies, regardless of gender, come in all shapes and sizes but we also know that some ladies (and I write as one of them!) have certain factors that can influence their choice of clothing and the size of that clothing.
Now we won’t be able to cater for everyone - sadly bespoke tailoring is not something we offer yet! - but we would like to have products that appeal to as many people as possible. In which case, we would love to hear from our female customers (or potential customers) about their preferences when it comes to highvis clothing and products.
For example, here are a few issues we’ve been debating and would love your thoughts on:
For example:
S, M, L etc,
size 12, 14, 16, etc
8-10, 12-14, etc
or maybe chest size eg 30”, 32”, 34”, etc?
Are there other issues we’ve not thought about when it comes to sizing or other aspects of clothing aimed at ladies? Or of our clothing generally, from a female perspective?

Definitely prefer ladies sizes or even junior as I’m size 8 and 5’0". I have the sash in the kids size which fits fine. I prefer sizes to be described as 8, 10, 12 etc as it’s clear that it’s not unisex. Unisex sizes pretty much never fit me as they’re always too big. I have a Ronhill jacket which is pretty good in terms of shape. I don’t like jackets to be too roomy around the chest and underarm. Ronhill size 6 or 8 fits me quite well. In terms of colour I prefer not to wear pink or purple. I think brands can be lazy with womens’ colour choices. We don’t all like pink. I like aqua, green, blue, coral and orange. I like bright colours for running gear, day and night, especially tops and jackets. Feel free to contact me if you need any more info.
I much prefer measuring in inches as more accurate than 10-12 etc as there are no standardisation for that I vary from 12 – 16 depending on brand etc but inches are more realistic.

Chest sizes are great and much better than 12 14 16 etc as you can make sure that they are going to fit. I do think a ladies cut would be good as an option as they tend to fit better especially for running.
