Allan1972 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 I have done a bunch with 8oz veg and 3-4oz lining, I would not go much lighter than this. Been using 10oz the last few and really like the weight, can be difficult to get on to strap buttons. I typically use schaller strap locks and it is hard to get the nut to catch the threads when installing the hardware into the strap. What part of Canada are you in, I am Red Deer, Ab.
