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'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.

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.

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! :)

It's ridiculously light. 8lbs ish.... about 4 kg per the osprey website... super sturdy for the weight though. Mine has traveled cross county and around the world in not so friendly airports. It's rugged and holds plenty. The wheels are no joke either. I love osprey gear.

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.

having been a backpacker in younger years ,I would say this trail hawk is a little too heavy. for hiking, if you carried it on your belt it should work for you

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.

Hey Rob,It's definitely not 18 pounds! I didn't notice that in the product description when I ordered it, or I certainly would have thought twice. I've let a friend borrow it for a float trip, so I don't have it handy to weigh at the moment but I would estimate 2 to 3 pounds. It's not heavy-duty to the point of overkill, but it does seem to be well made and has worked well for me. Never had it fully submerged, but in the floor of my canoe with water pooling it kept my gear dry. It is a little smaller than I expected but I think that was a mis-estimation on my part. I think the advertised 30L is probably accurate, I'm just used to having a larger pack (I use 46L and 70L packs for backpacking.) Hey Rob,It's definitely not 18 pounds!

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

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.

I just weighed the bag and it is 3.8 lbs (3 lbs 12 oz) Or, 1.72 kilo. . .Hope this helps? If you want to know what it will fit inside? I "loaded" it with: 1--Nikon D7000; 1--Nikon D90; 1--Tamron 28-300mm lens; 1--Sigma 18-35mm lens; i--Nikon 85mm lens; 2--Battery chargers (for each camera) plus connecting cables; 1--2X lens "extender;" a mini-tripod; 2--"full-size" (300+ pages) manuals; 1--Kindle Fire 10 tablet in leather case with keyboard; 1--8x11 70 page lined paper notebook; a dozen 5x8 cards; misc pens and markers; and, a pair of sunglasses; and, a roll of duct tape. . .And, there is still room for a couple sandwiches. . .I am also able to mount a 54" tripod and a water bottle using the straps on the outside of the pack. . .Thus, enabling me to carry quite a bit of "goodies" in one bag (Obviously, NOT all that was gonna be carried by me on my back . . .but, I CAN just grab the pack and toss it into the car. . .and, unload the unnecessary stuff when I get to the trail head). . .I can, if necessary carry just about all of that on a short hike, which is why I got it (I have a "full-size" LowePro backpack if I want to go overnight with which I can carry a sleeping bag; cooking kit; axe; etc etc) I got the Amazon backpack STRICTLY for "day hikes". . .

Packs down to under a pound with tent pegs. Depends on if you roll it or fold it. If folded it is about the size of a 1 gallon zip lock. It will fit in your backpack while taking up minimal space. My husband has tested it and loves it. It seems to be a great choice for backpacking.

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

Although I never weight it myself, it's roughly 3.5lbs with everything included. Only used it once, it's a very nice tent. Great for backpacking trips.

Under product dimensions it states that it is 10 lbs. .... but the shipping weight is listed as 8.6 lbs. Either way it is a bit heavy for a backpacker.

I will be happy to confirm the weight as I just got mine out for my next backpacking trip. My digital scale reads 17.3 ounces.
