The Women’s Field Armor Stryker vest
features all the same construction as the men’s version but has been
retailored for a woman’s fit. The back plate has been made slightly
shorter by changing to a five or six plate arrangement. Additionally,
the midriff and velcro adjustment straps have been rescaled for proper
fit. Of course the main function of the vest’s back protector still
remains intact as the women's version meets applicable certification
standards for back protecting.
