Lots less than the others we are talking about here, but a lot lighter too. I think we have hit the eternal rule, this time in the form of:
There is cheap, light and durable. Pick any two
Although on the other hand, as was pointed out in a couple of the places I read, stuff like 1050d and Cordura is incredibly tough and more than is needed for a lot of things. As an example, on a link that tfar posted they showed how their competitors strap broke under 200 pounds weight and theirs didnt. But, when was the last time your carry on weighed in at 200 pounds. Im sucking air lugging 30 pounds through DFW.
