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 can't answer that for you. I am not a minimalist so I do not weigh my gear. It isn't very heavy though.

I would say you are expecting to much from this cheap bag. It's probably more like 2lbs. There's not much to it. It packs up pretty small, and is a decent little bag for occasional warm weather camping for the price.i am very pleased with it. The inside material is "sticky" on your skin when sweaty, other than that for ~$20 it's good enough. Good luck.

I am not sure that it is only three pounds. I think it is an ok tent for fair weather backpacking. It is an average tent. Nothing special. It will fit three people comfortably without a lot of gear. But if you have a tarp to place under this tent, you will be adding a lot more weight. I hope this helps. But for the price, it is a good tent, but not the best for lightweight backpacking. There are a lot of ultra light backpacking tents available. I just found one at a thrift store brand new for $10.00.

Not backpacking size. It's more for tent or outdoor sleeping. Probably a foot in diameter.

Others have listed the weight and it is somewhat heavy when using the entire system but the outer Gore Tex bag is meant to replace your tent. Subtract the 4 to 6 pounds of the tent you won't be carrying and you have a sleep system worthy of backpacking.

It's a little heavy perhaps - we didn't think it was too bad and if you're a seasoned hiker / camper, it won't worry you at all. The size would be the main concern, as it's pretty long, but the legs do fold up nicely to make it far thinner. Hope this helps - we are still using ours, works great, nice quality, we haven't had any issues with it at all.

Tent is great for backpacking (which is only what I use it for. I have a bigger one for car camping). It only weights about 3 lbs and I normally roll it up inside my foam pad.

THIS IS NOT A BACKPACKING BAG!!! I bought it for backpacking, and it will never, ever work for that, unless you have lots of space to spare. I kept it to use as a two-person sleeping bag for regular trips. I carefully rolled it as small as it will go and put it in the stuff sack before measuring it for you: 1'7" tall, and 1' diameter. That's 19" tall and 12" diameter. In metric, that's about 48.25cm tall and 30.48cm diameter. If these numbers seem big, that's because they are.

It seems almost weightless... not heavy at all. Maybe a couple of ounces. Sorry I don't have an exact answer but if you're looking to backpack with it or something where weight is an issue, this one is very light.

Im not into the lightweight backpacking crowd so i dont own a scale. But a quick search shows the steel weighing in at 11.3 oz... I will say its pretty lightweight and goes unnoticed in my pack. For what it does its an awesome piece of kit.

I didn't look, It is very small. Backpacker size for sure. Get a bigger one if your camping not packing it in.

I would email Amazon and ask, just to make sure they don't charge you the 16 pound shipping weight which is obviously wrong. You are right though, I believe (if I remember correctly), the weight listed on the shipping label when I purchased it, was like 4 or 5 pounds.

It weighs virtually nothing. One of the best gear purchases that I have ever made. It adds warmth to a bag when it is cold and can be used alone when it is warm. Easy to wash. Easy to pack. Priceless really. I bought one at REI and then bought another from Amizon for a friend at a much better price.

As I recall, it's 7 or 8lbs as advertised. Heavy if your hiking with it, likely.. but I bought it for motorcycle camping, so was light compared to all the rest of my gear. Lighter than my leather! :)

I'd say it weighs about 2 1/2 - 3 lbs it's very comfortable. Keep it tight to your backpack and you'll be ok.

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..,
