The 20k caps though are a bit big for my liking, but looking at the side profile with them on, they are actually "slimmer" than the chest-back distance. Hard to believe looking at them, but pictures don't lie.
The 20ks are really light. Almost insanely light. When it's on you, it's hard to see the difference vs the CLs. I'm sure though after a game though, the CLs will still be insanely light.
Check out the AX1s. I'm fairly stocky, so a M didn't seem to cover as much as I'd like. But damn they felt so good.

Tried on the AX1's. Hated them. Damn near ripped my ears off pulling it on and off. Annoyed the hell out of me. Not to mention the instantaneous pinching I had at the corner where my A-Cup manboobs and armpit met. lol. I also felt they were quite bulky feeling and the mobility wasn't there.
As for the CCM CL's, yeah, they're light, but the flimsy protection worries me. Not to mention it didn't feel comfy at all. I felt like a robot trying to move side to side...like an individual piece rather than moving with you, so I felt the mobility sucked.
I originally was quite satisfied with the Bauer Supreme NXG. I wasn't too keen on the weight but I thought it was pretty comfy and the fit was really nice. If it was light like the 20K I would've been sold....then I tried the 20K's on and loved it
