ThanksWomen's gear will be more slim fitting. That's it. My daughters are very tall and have wide shoulders. They wear men's chest and legs
You're very welcome. Young boys gear may have a cup flap on the chest protector. If your looking used keep an eye out for it. If she's 10 or younger who caresThanks
The older Wilson Shock FX (sp?), IIRC, were sold in both a softball and baseball model.

As far as I can tell, softball and baseball catchers helmets are subjected to the same test. Although what I found interesting is that the softball tests are done using only an 11" ball, but with impact speeds of 70mph. Not sure where those speeds are being seen with an 11" ball! You would think a more realistic test would be to use a 12" ball, which also has an additional ~1/2 oz of weight. NOCSAE Helmet Testing
No idea what would constitute an inspection regarding used gear.

What? $99?ALL-STAR Youth S7 Axis Travel Team Catching Kit - it seems like a good quality set for a new 12U catcher.
