i have now seen it all

lph pretty much summed up what I think too.

Personally, I am waiting for the day when traditional women's equipment is marketed with "men specific design" - vacuum cleaners with go-faster-stripes, washing machines being sold by motor size, ironing boards in black and chrome.........

I'd like to see an end to "mens" and "womens," instead marketing what makes it different. For example, rather than WSD camelbacks, they would be "narrow shoulder" or "slim fit," because I can see a lot of young teen boys whose might be more comfortable in a "womens" pack -- until their shoulders broaden. And wasn't there a thread about shorter men who would be more comfortable on a WSD frame, but are put off by the classification as WSD?

It's a nice fantasy I live in, isn't it?

I agree susieJ, but indeed, it will be a long time... But, yes, the bottle that started this whole thread would be great if it were marketed as a "Small, decorative, water bottle" or something like that.

ETA: I lust after that stand-mixer!
