    Haven't weighed them but my Komodo Gear suit is a hell of a lot lighter than the generic one I ordered from ebay first...

    INTERESTING, I JUST WEIGHED THEM AND I GUESS THEY WEREN'T AS HEAVY AS I THOUGHT THEY WERE. THEY WEIGHED 12LBS TOGETHER.

    BUT I ASSUME THAT THE WEIGHTS VARY DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE RIDER. SO MAYBE THESE ARE A LITTLE HEAVY FOR ME, I'M ONLY 139LBS, BUT I'M RATHER TALL!!!

    bates 6.5lbs?? is that posible? are you under 5' and under 100lbs?

    my large komodo suit was 9lbs 5oz if I remember correctly. my 2 piece spidi suit was 10lbs 8oz.
    I just got my komodo gear suit last week so I weighed both of them for the heck of it.

    on a side note.... the shinko hookup is only 8 oz lighter then a ultra soft. not the 2lbs lighter every one was claiming.

    I know I'm setting myself up here...

    I'm 6'4" 310lbs, my suit weighs almost 15lbs and its not 100% leather. I have stretch fabric in the areas under the arms and between the legs. Its heavy

    I'm 5'6" @ 148lbs

    I have a set of new Komodo Gear's leathers and I had my name placed on the front & back and also a sponsor logo and they weight 9 lbs.



    I'm going to take some pictures and post them. I love the way they fit!

    i'm currently using a AGVSport 1-piece and it's like they just split the cow down the middle, gutted it, and put a zipper on it. it's a little big for me and it weighs about 20lbs. i'm about 225lbs in a leopard-print thong, so i definitely need the lightest suit i can afford. i'd love a Bates, but i don't have the money. i'm definitely gonna get a lighter 2-piece that fits right as soon as i can.
