Total, it weighs 40 lbs. without the coif it is 35 lbs, but I'm pretty small, so yours might be more because if theres more mail it will obviously weigh more.Because the weight is distributed over your body when you're wearing it, it is not difficult to walk. It's nice and flexible. I recommend getting it the first size that's bigger so it is easier to take off yourself.

Well doug, it weighs about 65 pounds but its not centeralized its spread out evenly over the entire body. If you have a thick leather belt around the wast it should talk the load off and feel almost like nothing for a few hours

It weighs the same when you wear it as when you don't wear it. The description says 32 pounds though. Great for the zombie outbreak.

It is heavy...probably about 25 lbs. I bought it for my son. Once he gets it on and the weight is spread, he says he can walk around in it pretty well. The first test will be in a couple of weeks when he tries to wear it at a Ren faire. For extended wear, I would recommend the "butchers" mail, which is a lot lighter. The other issue we had with this was that the neck hole was way to small for my 19 year old son's head. As a matter of fact, it was far small even for smaller heads. The seller was very nice and gave me a partial refund, but I had to get a local guy to take out the links to make it big enough. Hope this helps! It is heavy...probably about 25 lbs.

It may be about 55 pounds, but add a sword a helm, under robes and pouch it will be around 65. How hold is your son and how tall is he? I'm 5"9 and the suit goes down to my shin in length.

Dear Vinrose, It is extremely light, I think between 1-2 lbs, maybe more but the weight specification is listed with the item description (I think) As for carrying it, it comes in a mesh nylon bag with a sling for going over your shoulder/chest and keep on your back. Works well. I like mine. Adrian

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 don't know its exact weight, BUT it is not a "heavy" feeling. It is comfortable to sleep under. Gives the necessary warmth without hindering movement. I am sorry if this does not give you the information you are seeking.

Maybe? I don't really notice that it's weighing me down. I wear mine all the time. The one thing I will say though is that it's very hot now that the weather is warming up. I find I have to run mine underwater to soak it at half time.

It weighs around 60lbs. It's a little cumbersome to move around by yourself but can be done.

No. I find that it doesn't work while walking. I had hoped that it would. :( I actually don't like it at all. And, have only worn it once.

I do not know exactly how much it weighs as I don't own a scale but I can tell you it is like picking up an outdoor webbed lawn chair, so light. It is aluminum and canvas. I carry it easily with one arm and I am an average sized woman at 5' 5" . HTH

It weighs 32 pounds. It is fairly heavy. The main problem is it is hard to get a grip on it because of its size. Having said that, I would recommend it to anyone are slightly more than normal size.

I only use this to help my old dog get up the two steps from the yard to the deck. I would say though that it is too heavy and bulky to wear for any length of time. There was a black one I ordered first that was lighter but 90 lbs was the limit. They were right on because mine is 95-100 lbs and it didn't fit. Hope that helps.

Not heavy at all, maybe 5-7 lbs. You slip it on like a back pack. B advised though, the arm frames are of very light tubular metal. Mine collapsed when I used the arms to assist in pushing me up. Just felt like I should mention that. It's a super neat concept though.

It weighs approximately 8 lbs. It would be awkward to carry if you have difficulty walking. I hope this helps answer your question?

Its light enough to put on your head without hurting your neck. So about 2 or 3 pounds

No, it is not heavy. As to the size I cannot answer that because I packed it up ready to move, sorry. I love the way the material feels and looks

Adjustable... I'm 5'9 220 lb, had to adjust it to get it to fit just right, and it felt very stiff to begin with. After wearing it awhile, it loosened up and feels much more natural.

Its not hard to put on. You can try it on, then remove it and adjust as needed. This item worked well, but when you receive it, make sure you increase the time you wear it slowly. I kept it on too long and ended up sore. The support is great, though.

It's about 6 lbs, so it will get heavy if you have to carry it a lot. It is a bit bulky.
