I believe there is definately a difference between women and men’s BC’s.
I dive with an Aqua Lung Pearl I3 and it’s the best BC I’ve ever dived with. It’s comfortable and very easy to get into and out of. It’s also very chest friendly in that it had broad "panels" for lack of a better word, that goes over the chest, therefore not digging in where it’s not welcome. It also recognises that many women need tank weights and has 2 built in weight pockets on the tank strap. It also has some very handy pockets for bit and pieces including a hidden pocket that pulls down if needed.
As for regulator, I have a Mares proton 42 she dives. I’ve never had a reg that breathes as easly as this. (and I’ve used many regs). It’s also very light so it’s has less jaw fatigue.
