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 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.

It depends on what you prefer. Ive gotten Mine down to about 8-10 diameter when rolled, 18-20 sounds like someone tried rolling when inflated...which is a bad idea. Its basically on your ability to remove as much air as possible Before stowing... I hammock camp tho so I need pads to keep warm from heat loss thru convection. However whan backpacking its more efficient to fold the pad upon itself a few times and shove against the back of the pack or at the bottom.. the roll method takes up too much valuable space in a pack. Hope this helps!

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 $$.

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

Not sure of the weight but I would not backpack with it. I only use it for car camping.. And it's real bulky

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.

Hi Ellen. Not sure how much it weighs..maybe 3-5lbs at most...I didn't use it for backpacking (motorcycle trip). Set up was easy and it handled the elements well...Light rain for 3 nights....

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'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.

I haven't exactly stuck it on a scale, but its pretty darn heavy. I want to say between 30-40lbs? It's a pain in the butt to carry around in the bag, but it's the best pack and play I've ever used so it's totally worth it!!

I'm a small framed guy - 5'8" and 150#. I packed my Explorer 4000 heavy, with 4 liters of water, 30 meters of heavy climbing rope, even an ukulele lashed to it. It weighed in at about 55# and I took it through the Red River gorge wilderness following (and usually in) a creek - 6 hours to my destination. I was delighted with this pack. The straps didn't chafe, my back didn't hurt, it was surprisingly comfortable. In the July heat it was sufficiently ventilated that I didn't sweat as much as I would expect. For the price, I'm singing this pack's praises! It's supposed to be adjustable, but I carried it as it was out of the box with no more adjustment than to cinch it up. Fully loaded with heavy gear, it might be too much for you unless you're a pretty rugged gal. I definitely recommend the pack, but will it also fit a woman comfortably? I say get it, try it out, if it doesn't work for you then use Amazon's amazing return policy. Happy hiking! I hope this helps.

9lbs and also very unwieldy when cold. Also the residue will get all over and stain your gear. I would not recommended this for backpacking.

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.

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.

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.

The bag's huge--it's not heavy, but it's not light weight either. It might be a bit much for a backpacking trip, unless you plan to bring back Sasquatch in it. It holds ALL of my car-camping gear--tent, tarp, sleeping bag, air mat, etc.
