I've often wondered what the weight of my skis/bindings/boots is? particularly when it's all dangling while I ride the chairlift. Anyway, I finally got around to weighing the stuff. My Tecnica Phnx 90 boots are 2338 grams (5 lbs 2.5 oz) each. and my Salomon X-Wing 10 skis with integrated bindings are 6690 grams (7 lbs 6 oz) each. So that is approx 25+ lbs on my feet, dangling.
Seems like a lot, but maybe it's typical, and maybe I shouldn't overthink it.
Anyway, I planning on getting some new gear this fall, so I was wondering if I should be thinking about lighter stuff if possible? Manufacturers are spotty at best about publishing weights.
What's everyone's thoughts?
