How much does the BLACKJACKET™ focusing cloth weigh?
The ORIGINAL 4×5, TWEENER and 5×7 BLACKJACKET™ style weighs a mere 8 ounces, making it ideal for backpacking. The 8×10 BLACKJACKET™ is considerably larger in comparison, yet still only weighs 13 ounces. The HYBRID style BLACKJACKET™ weighs roughly twice what its ORIGINAL counterpart does (17 ounces for DSLR, 4×5, TWEENER, 5×7 and 23 ounces for the 8×10 respectively). This is because the waterproof/breathable fabric sandwich used for the back panel is a heavier material than the “aluminized” nylon. Want more information? Check out our model-by-model comparison.
