I weighed myself with and without my EDC. That is gun, reloads, mag holder, knife and sheath. I'm at 8.9 pounds.
My on-duty uniform gear. I've weighed myself wearing it and it adds 25-30 lbs. Most of which sits at my waist. It is surprising what you get used to. I'm being serious as well. You could take my post as a smarty reply but I do consider this my EDC. I wear it for at least 8.5 hrs a day (sometimes more) 6 days in a row each week. I wear it more than my off-duty rig.what are you carrying.
