Hey Bronti
Love this!
Might be worth reaching out to these guys for some further inspo:

gender equality in sport certainly has come a long way, but still a way to go!
Good luck!
I'm wondering if the protection does have to be integrated in the outer layer of the clothing?
Would one size fit all?
Would it make sense to combine it with a sports bra?
Well done Bronti what an excellent idea!
It sounds like you have lots of people offering to help which is great.
If you would like to look at crowdfunding at some point let us know and we would be happy to help.
With best wishes Jill
I think fixing the issues caused by gender bias within professional sports is a great idea. I think you'd have to look at the weight of any material used in the chest pad and how it impacts players as well.
Hi Bronti, I appreciate your idea to design something that can avoid injuries to women. I hope you fulfill your dream to design protective equipment for women. Hope for the best
