Quite a few women in our group experienced problems. The complaints were not necessarily related to the equipment. It was the gear, things like ill-fitting backpacks and uniforms. I never heard about what you just mentioned, but I heard a lot of complaints about the backpacks and shoes, among other things.
There are also all those aspects related to a woman's biology. Women might be pregnant or menstruating. In the armed forces, that's not always acknowledged or respected. That's what I heard from the women.
