Bit heavier than I would really like but Not many Punctures.
Now if you are looking for a quality Tube- Think Latex. Never used them on the road bike but I bought 10 Heavy duty latex tubes for the Tandem. About the weight of a standard Butyl but the big advantage of them is when you get the in and out thorn punctures. They semi-seal and lose air a lot more slowly. Still goes down but several times we have noticed a Squishy tyre on the way home and pumped it up. Lasted till we got home and by the next morning- One flat tyre.
