especially odd that its the same weight limit for men and women.
the current avg weight for men in the US is 195. For women its 168.
keeping that ratio difference constant, the limits for athena and Clydesdale would be 200# for women and 230# for men.
or reversing it by keeping the 200# limit for men, the limit for women would be 172#.
the 172# and 200# seems quite low, considering average weight for US folk.
yes yes, this is a global website. But still...
