It's heavy, but in (a) cold weather or (b) windy conditions, you'll probably like that. I wish I had a sensitive scale so I could do a weight comparison -- the P/V 11oz Rocky casual I have is much lighter weight (i.e. - less weight on your body to carry up mountains). Good call on staying away from buckles! No fun under a hip belt.
Ive seen it snow twice on my birthday, Aug 16. Once at Portage Glacier and the other on Mt Washington. Maybe I'll need several weights
