THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
My wife is frustrated by the lack of choice in women's shooting gear. Anything categorized as women's shooting gear is automatically pink. She'd prefer correctly sized eye and ear protection in other colors, as well as range bags, belts, etc. She also doesn't want to go the other direction, toward the "guy" FDE/OD/Black stuff.

Is anyone aware of good sources for women-oriented range gear available in color options other than pink?

I'm kind of confused. She doesnt want pink but doesnt want "guy" colors, what color does she want?

If she is having a hard time find small enough ears and eyes you might look into youth sizes.

She wants options beyond hot pink. Purple, teal, different shades of blue, green, etc. Both the youth and women's segment seems pretty option-limited.

It's been a huge feat just to get manufacturers to make pink gear...I think other colors such as purple or teal will eventually come on the market as long as women shooters keep pleading the case to manufacturers. Keep up the fight and email/call them with ideas.

Dillion Precision has a blue pair of electronic ear pro for $135. Kind of pricy.

Cheaper than dirt also has a blue pair for $35

Those are just two of the places I found by searching "blue electronic ear pro" on google. I'm sure if you type out whatever color she wants you can find it. Earlier I did a quick search and found some that are zebra print.

As for belts, I think that's a personal decision. I wear a Bison Designs belt. For range bag I use a large tool bag that zips shut and I have an Outdoor Connection pink range bag for my cleaning supplies and back up bag. Gun Goddess has some different women's range bags.
