Where ya been Lis?! :-) Elvis left the building (Civic Arena) a few years
ago!!! :-) Actually, the Penguins fired him because it was found that the

Subject: women's equip.

I've been using men's equipment since I started playing and have no
complaints except for elbow pads.  My son has the same complaints with
his, so I don't think it is female specific.  Perhaps when I try on some
women's equipment someday I will think, "Wow, I had no idea that hockey
equipment could feel this good!"  However, I find the catalog description
(mailed to this list in the last message or so) of the chest protector
very amusing.  I have never felt a need for extra "breast protection",
lateral or otherwise.  I am not extremely large chested, so maybe that is
why, but this seems like a gimmic to me.  

Does anyone out there who has worn men's equipment for years and has tried
or now wears women's equipment find that there is a noticeable difference?
I know the women's equipment issue has been discussed on several different
occaisions, but I believe it has mostly been where to get it, not if it's
worth dumping all the stuff you have in order to get it.
