How much does does the 16x32 weigh? I'm looking at backpacking gear & would like an estimate. TIA

It's light. Real light -- weight wise, but still effective in dabbing off heavy sweating after rigorous workout. If you want a specific weight I can go weigh it. Just let me know.

I have the longer mat and if I guessed I'd say 3-4 lbs, but with the comfort enjoyed from having it in the pack I never even thought to weigh it. Side note, besides backpacking, I mainly pack a kayak for trips, and believe me if it was a burden it would not be included, I do not enjoy paddling with any more weight with me than absolutely necessary, I'm getting old, lol

I don't know exactly how much it weighs but if you are backpacking across countries I think it would be fairly heavy.

It's two pounds anyway, and if you've hiked any distance with a 50+ pound backpack then you know that weight is everything. Items like this add up, I really like to have a shovel around while camping but if this one gets to heavy then maybe i'll leave it in the car next time. Only time will tell. The construction of this particular shovel is very good and I'll update my review if heavy use takes its toll on it. Good Luck.

I don't have it handy but I would say around a pound. It is very light weight and compact. If you are looking for something to keep you warm in 50 degree weather this is too thin. If you are looking for something that will be good for backpacking and used in reasonably nice climates, this is definitely a good purchase. I have taken mine all over. I would say the warmth is about equivalen to a slightly thicker flannel sheet. I did my research before buying and this was the best option in terms of space. If you don't care about warmth, the only thing I have used that is smaller is the silk sleeping sacks...but also expensive. I think you will be happy with this item.

I have found it very accurate. I use it to weigh all my gear for backpacking and for that it's down to the ounce. I have tested others but this one is the one I'd recommend.

To me it is very light weight. This is the 40-inch bag which holds alot. If you are putting it in a backpack, it probably weighs a pound to 1.3 pounds, empty.

Hi Gayle. It weighs 0.65kg/1.43lbs empty (http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/pv/products/detail-1-1-229-726.html). How much it weighs after you put your gear into it, that I don't know. I do know that the daypack's are worth it though.

Iogear themselves say it's .65 pounds, and I think that's right. It's not something you'd casually carry in your pocket all the time, but not terrible if you have too time to time. If you carry a backpack all the time, it wouldn't be a big deal..,

I don't have the exact weight, but it is a little heavy. I would NOT want to hike with it. But it is soooo comfortable, its worth a little weight!

Def could not be used for backpacking, at least for me. It's bulky and heavy. But warm for car camping. I dont have the stuffed dimensions b\c this was a gift for a car campet-person.

I don't really know as I haven't tried to "max out the load". I think the max I have used in it so far is about 40 lbs, and it had absolutely no issues with that. That said it's not really built for carrying massive weights. It dosn't have the extra wide heavily padded straps that you'll find on backpacking packs. If max weight is what you're looking for I'd recommend just getting some dry-sacks and packing in those in a rucksack.

Couldn't be more than fifteen pounds. I could carry it up a hiking trail no problem. It's very easy to carry be cause it comes in its own fitting carrying bag.

It is very lightweight. Guessing less than 5 pounds. I am very petite and have no trouble carrying it and other gear.

Not bad. Would not take backpacking but good for any other type. Guess 2-3 pounds

I don't have an exact weight. Heavy, maybe 18 pounds. It is 45" x 12" x 9" packed up, because it bulges in the bag. It's def not a hiking tent, and would be large on a pack horse, or stick out of the sides a little on a 4 wheeler.

The actual weight I cannot accurately provide, but if your wondering about hiking with it/packing it - my position would be that it's functionality is totally worth the weight of carrying it. Hope that helps some.
