How much does does the 16x32 weigh? I'm looking at backpacking gear &amp; 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 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.

Tent is very light. Very. Not sure of the weight exactly but not noticeable when added to my pack. I'm 6'2". Fit just fine with my pack and boots in tent. However it is like being in a casket. But that's the style of the tent.

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.

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.

Yeah, thats exactly what it is for. My set-up weighs around 30lbs and fits great in this pack. If you have a bunch of gear I would recommend a bit of a larger one but if you are more of a bare essentials person this is great probably even a bit big. It really depends how much gear you have.

Too heavy to carry on a backpacking trip. Approximately 10-12 pounds....my best guess.

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.

My current setup has some quick release mounts installed on it and the whole thing weighs 1.5lbs total. It is heavier than just a mesh bag but it works great! Glad I bought it and really like the sturdiness of it plus people think it looks pretty cool when mounted up to my AR. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, I also can't say much about its ability to withstand rain. I can say that after two nights of camping, when I went to pack it up, there was some condensation on the bottom of the tent under my sleeping bag, but nothing major. As for backpacking, it depends what you are looking for. I'm fairly certain you can't beat the price, and although I haven't personally owned any backpacking-specific tents, I can compare it with what I've seen in stores. It's a bit less compact than a lot of typical backpacking tents, but it's by far the smallest "normal" tent I've seen, and likewise, while there are backpacking tents that are designed to be super-light that have this beat, it's got to be the lightest tent I've camped in. When I went camping, I brought along a small tarp. That way, if it started raining heavily and it turned out the tent wasn't up to the task, I would have some extra protection from the rain. Depending on how much you want to bring backpacking this may not be an ideal solution, but for the money, I'd recommend it. You can always decide to upgrade to a pricier tent later, and this one won't set you back much.

i would say that it is too big for backpacking although i have seriously considered hanging it from the bottom my backpack in the past. it defiantly wouldn't fit in one. also, it says its four person, i would call it six. a great tent but if your bushwhacking it might be a bit to large to place easily. id suggest looking for a large one person tent for your needs.

Don't know the exact weight. It is solidly made - too heavy for backpacking.

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.

OK, I'll bite...........the tent is all in at 7.5 LBS and has its own carrying bag which should make it very easy to attach to a back-pack. As my use for the tent is on motorcycle trips (tent does well, no complaints once the seams are sealed) it serves the purpose for very little $$.

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.

How motivated are you, and how are you traveling? I really like this tripod, and have used it with 20x60 binoculars a mile walk from a vehicle. The 'pod, a 128RC mount, and a small spotter together weigh about 14 pounds. I have a vanguard tripod and a 391 head that will take the weight down to about 11 pounds - but the 55 is in my trunk today. I probably wouldn't try to take this on a plane, as its most collapsed length is still pretty good-sized, and I wouldn't likely take it backpacking, but for car camping and day hikes it's very good.

I googled it. Yep, 2 lbs. That doesn't seem like that much to me but if you're an ultralight backpacker then you might look at something a tad lighter. However you don't have to carry any fuel for it so it kind of comes out in the wash IMHO. Hope this helps. Happy trails.
