I've been looking for a new jacket for the winter. Moving over to textile with a closer fit and a lining I figure a women's jacket will be closer fitting and warmer than the too large leather jacket I currently use, but now I'm not too sure.

Normally I can tell right away from the cut/adjustments if I'm looking at a men's or women's jacket. For example the Teknic jacket I tried had a waist adjustment as well as one on the hip. The Joe Rockets seem to have a very defined shape (not my shape, but a shape that some women have).

I'm wondering if there's any real difference in terms of cut on Fieldsheer jackets. I'm shopping online looking at the Fieldsheer Sprint so all I have is stock pictures to go off of and they both look the same. Does anyone have a Fieldsheer jacket or a chance to try one on? Does the women's tend to dip in a little at the waist or leave room for hips? Smaller or shorter arms? Anything?

Thank you in advance for any details you can provide

My girlfriend has a Fieldsheer mesh jacket and it's obviously a woman's jacket. Very feminine cut - small waist, curvy accents, obvious cut to allow a bust, etc.

Thanks, johnnythan. I'm really not that busty so it would just make that part a bit loose, but cut for waist/hip might be nice.

Here are the jackets I was talking about for the gal who asked:

Here's the guy's version
