about 95lbs

That's pretty light.

That's pretty light.

When you consider it has bailout included, it’s not that crazy.

I guess that's with a single 1 litre drysuit inflator and no heater battery? Is it 2 or 3 litre oxygen?

(Would be nice to see the specs and examples plus thinking underlying that unit's design)

2l oxygen. No extra heater battery.

But I don’t even dive the thing. I’m sure others have better info on specifics. Rb80 gang gang over here.

I don't recall the actual land weight. My GUE configured JJ with the all bells and whistles attached (twin LP50s/7L bottles, a 3L O2 bottle, and a suit inflation bottle) weighs noticeably less than my double 130s/D16L.

Standard is a 3L oxygen. Some people also piggyback a 3L bottle of air (for inflation), whereas others attach something like an AL6 to their backplate. I have seen one person use a 2L oxygen instead of a 3L. If you're pushing 5+ hours you probably want a 3L but other than that it may not matter much.
