Researcher examines bras and bulletproof vests
New research out of Texas A&M University is looking into how body armor fits — or doesn’t fit — women.
Researcher Andrea Porter, a Ph.D. candidate at Texas A&M, said many women in the military or law enforcement have complained of poorly fitting body armor.
"The military armor is especially wide in the shoulders for women, and so they can't see their weapons and their armpits, and they're having to do it against their biceps," Porter said. "It just bruises really badly."
Porter's research examines how bras can affect body armor fit, and how air gaps between the armor and the body affect protection.
