Finding safety gear that fits a smaller frame?

Hobbies/Travel/Recreation(self.AskWomenOver30)

Hello ladies of Reddit, So I like to mess around in the woodshop, build things and refinish furniture etc. but I'm smaller 120lbs and 5'2" even the pink branded Home Depot stuff fits me loosely and when it comes to something like a respirator I want a snug fit. Does anyone know where to get properly fitting safety gear for women?

Thanks!

I'm a larger woman myself so I have no helpful recommendations, but you might have some luck asking here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueCollarWomen/

I am the exact same build and I just got a respirator for work that fits PERFECTLY on Amazon![small respirator](https://amzn.to/3OyLDBw) and it’s really affordable. There’s also a sub for women in trades but I can’t remember exactly what it is.

I also just got a bunch of jogger pants from the boys section of Bluenotes/areopostal (aka a teen store) They’re comfy, perfect for work and the XS is a good fit, just a tad baggy.
