How light weight is it, do you know the actual weight? I have seen some really light weight ones but wondered if they are up to the task. Do you have specific models that you have used?

BTW, someone mentioned using the largest one they could find. My experience is that they make them awfully big and I can manage with a medium sized duffle. See the Olive drab one here for an idea of the size. It is about the right size for me and is very durable. It is too bulky and heavy to be ideal for taking along on the whole tour though.
