Yes, I thought that picture was funny, also. But if you want light weight and durable you may have to put up with discomfort. This is supposed to be durable enough to keep someone alive on the high seas until rescue. So I'm wondering what kind of material could take that kind of punishment and still be so light weight? I think the listed 7# includes the inflation canisters, drogue, overhead tube etc, so maybe with those removed, the curtis drops to 1.5 #.... I have a slightly different green version of the same design without the overhead tube bought many years ago at a giveaway price. Seemed like a good deal at the time, but have never used it, the material looks sort of thin....
