Pat,

    I'm only too happy to pick that bone alongside you - why is that
    clothing and PPE manufacturers assume that women never play with hot
    things, go outside in winter, work with power tools, or even walk on
    the occasional unpaved surface?! I've had the same problem finding
    gloves (of almost any kind) that fit, and safety glasses, and hiking
    boots, etc., etc. Moreover, when you finally do manage to find such
    things designed for women, they tend to come in stupid and
    embarrassing colors. I fly into a bit of a tizzy every time I see a
    catalog with things like "Men's All-Weather Parka - color:
    khaki/olive drab. Womens' All-Weather Parka - color: lime/fuchsia." 

    Right, rant aside, maybe it is possible to pressure the folks
    responsible for such things to make us chicks some properly sized
    protective equipment. Just let me know who to e-mail... 

    (Oh, and the "Safety Glasses for Small Faces," with the little boy
    on the packaging, fit just fine!) 

Cheers,
Jessee Smith
