What is the difference between the men's and women's strap. If I order a man's strap can my wife use it or will it be to bulky for her.

In my experience, there was no real benefit. Having the camera practically in my armpit was more bothersome. I think that longer is better since I prefer to have my camera hanging near my hip with one hand on the camera. It's a personal preference.

unless she is a very petitte woman she should be able to use the men's strap also. My sister was able to use mine easily. It adjusts easily to take up or give slack.

The strap is more slender/shorter and curved to conform to a woman's anatomy. She can use the men's strap but it will fit lower and not be as comfortable.

My wife can use mine. I believe it has to do with the length of the straps and the pivot point. See on the image where the strap comes across the man's chest and the pivot point is a touch higher on him? where the strap falls on a man may tend to fall on the bosom of a woman and not feel right. My wife just ends up wearing the camera in a position that either doesn't feel "quite right" or has even worn it in reverse. Hope that helps.

I want to say it's more for adults, because I'm now entering college, but the strap that it comes with is adjustable so it could fit younger kids as well. So it could work for both, but it's more suited for adults. Hope this answers your question.

Well, my wife, who is using it, has a small wrist, and it fits her very well as it will fit mine, which it is considerably wider. It comes with two different straps for the chest; one small and one wider.

yes it will fit a women's wrist. it is a bit wider than the original strap however it is adjustable because of the velcro.

I can't answer the question because I the strap is too tight and is not what I expected it to be. I tried it and it is too awkward for me to use. I don't know if I can return it or not.......sorry

Hi, I am a guy and used this bag with no issues. This bag looks fine for a man or a woman.

Donna, I have a large wrist and only use about 1/3 of the strap, but I believe this watch would be too bulky for a woman's wrist especially if she has a small wrist.

Let's try to do the math. I have the deluxe, cloth strap. My strap is 33.5" long and comfortably fits my chest (male, 5"10", 165 lb). This strap has 17" of elastic, that I can double to 34" by pulling it. Within the 17" elastic section, there is a 3-fold section that can be lengthened or contracted. This expandable section is 2.5" on my strap. If I contracted it to a minimum, my strap's overall length might increase by 2". If I expanded the section to a maximum, my strap might shrink by 4". So, we do the math. The strap could range from 33.5"-4"=29.5" to 33.5"+2"=35.5". The strap would be comfortable in a range of 29.5" to 35.5". Since I pull my strap about 3" to clasp it, the comfortable length when worn would be 29.5" to 38.5". At its longest, it would have a 19" elastic part that could expand to 38". That is, we could stretch the 19" elastic to the maximum (a double), making the range from 29.5" to 54.5" in length. The strap would be pure torture if it were stretched that taut. To be reasonably comfortable, I don't think you would want to exceed a range from 30" to 42" in length. This strap does not need to be torture tight. You do need to put water on a 2" cloth part and conducting gel on the 10" heart-rate part. The conducting gel will keep the strap stuck to your chest, which for a female is just below their sports bra, and for a male, on their breast bone. I buy my gel at my grocer's pharmacy as a special order, size of 5 liters (about 1.25 gallons). My grocer is #2 by grocery sales, behind only the big-box warehouse grocer. The 5L size is enough to last several years. :-) You want your strap to be comfortably in place at the beginning of your exercise, as adjusting your strap during your exercise can lead to very strange workout statistics. Final answer: 30" to 42" in length when worn comfortably during an exercise session.

There is a cup like strap that you use only when lifting a male that goes across their groin area that can easily be unsnapped and stays secured on the side of the lift harness, other than that there is nothing else that will interfere with them doing their business. This strap can be unsnapped and removed completely for a female.

I absolutely love this strap. My wife has used it and liked it as well. She has never used the BlackRapid Womens strap before. So I cannot make a comparison between the two.

I have removed the strap, as I found I never used as I thought I would. It is easy to do, as it simply threads through a small hole on the side. I asked my husband's opinion on whether or not he would use it, was it 'manly' enough - lol! He drives professionally, so he doesn't keep a wallet in his pocket while driving. He said it definitely looks like something guys would use. It is quite the unisex type wallet, and I still LOVE it, as I don't like carrying a big, bulky purse. It holds I.D., credit cards, cash, a d the phone snaps in so securely I am never concerned that it will come loose. The button and camera openings fit like a glove, and the wallet is so sturdy it helps to stabilize the camera when taking photos.

No problem, we did considerable testing on men and women, and due to ongoing communication with our customers the new straps are easier and sturdier to fit almost anyone.

The men's version has more space between the support areas. The principle this works on is that it gives support to the bones (I don't know the terminology - sorry - butt cheek bones on each side of the tail bone - coccyx) which allows the supporting muscles to relax and let go of the sciatiaca. The size of the S.W. is geared to the narrower space between the women's bones compared to the mens. No matter how big or small a person is, the bone structure seems to have a specific space. Either one would work for either sex but I think the bone structure is supported best when a person uses the recommended support. The men's version has more space between the support areas.

This is a late response to Diosdado but if it can help someone else... I am a female with small, bony 6" wrists. I ordered the Pro series in small and extra small. The small had a bit of room but couldn't close tighter because that was as far as it could go. There was also some excess strap sticking out which I knew would drive me insane while lifting. The extra small could close tighter (I know they say you don't want it tight but I like having the option) and I was able to make it looser as well. The main thing was no excess strap sticking out. Now, my husband tried the small on and while he didn't lift anything with the grips they seemed to fit him okay.

I don' think there are different sizes. The strap stretches so it will comfortably fit different people.

I use both. Both are excellent. However, I prefer the women's version. Can't tell you why. Personal preference.

Hi Yvonne,I'm not sure about the difference in mens as opposed to the womens. I think that most shorts for women aren't as long and might be more fitted. I recommend ordering a pair and trying them. If you don't like them you can return them. That's what my wife does...lol. Sorry I couldn't help more. I love the quality and design of the shorts, many people at our Box asked where I purchased them.
