I might mention that Kokatat makes a full line of gear for women, including drytops, wetsuits (new this year), and dry suits. There is even a special woman friendly relieve zipper option available. In my club, we have several womens kokatat drytops, which are much loved by the women I have talked to. Also, Lotus makes a womens lifejacket cut to fit in the right places. It looks like gear manufacturers are starting to catch on at least a little bit. --Kevin ___________________ / Kevin Whilden \ |Dept. of Geosciences \___ |University of Washington \ |kwhilden_at_u.washington.edu| \________________________/ On Thu, 14 May 1998, Barbara Kossy wrote: > At 07:43 AM 5/14/98 -0600, Philip Wylie wrote: > > > I have looked at stolquist > >and the female model (mens were not available so no > >wise cracks) of the Kokatat. > > I'd like to point out that we women have been forced to use sporting gear > and clothing designed and cut for men for years.
