For the most part, they are simply cut differently and have slightly different strap/buckle configurations to accomodate the anatomic differences.

Haha... yeah, that part is a good difference, but i have been comparing them on the internet and i can't really see a difference...so how do you tell besides the label? i mean, if it fits good, then does it really matter?
Nope. If you like it and it fits properly, what's holding you back?

No it doesn't matter.
Most of the time the women's BCs are shorter in the torso length, narrower in the shoulders, chest straps are higher up than on men's, and the waist region is cut an inch or so smaller to accomodate a narrower waist than men's.
The differences are minor, but can make a big difference in fit.

Cut in the chest area & probably colors.....but, is a difference needed ie my wife has dove for over 22yrs with either our old Dacors(mine & hers just alike except for color-hers blue & gold & mine blue & grey) then when they gave out she used our Scubapro and lately a new Zeagle Scout......Now saying this, I WILL NEVER wear a pink one.....lol..........
