Anonymous asked: Mens belay jacket weight? It would be a good idea to have all your product weights in the tech specs! Thanks
Thanks for asking. The Belay Jacket weighs in at 2 lbs 4 oz. At this point most of our products have weights in the specs, however there are a few that are still being weighed. These will be updated when we have them.
