How Much Does Your Bag Weigh?

How much does your bag weigh?
Jeff Harris
With the new hardware trend, and bags bigger than ever, you may be lugging more than is healthy. Experts say the ideal bag weighs two pounds total (they're dreaming!), and the upper limit is no more than 10 percent of your body weight — for instance, a maximum of 13 pounds if you weigh 130 pounds. We did a weigh-in with three of the season's hot bags.
