Is this bag heavy? Even without anything in it is it heavy?

Not at all!! I can see why people might think its heavy, but it really isn't!

Not compared to all the other diaper bags. I love this bag, it is the perfect size, I flew with it and I love how it has the option to carry it by the strap or the handles.

completely empty it is actually quite lite. i don't have a scale in my house, but my sister bought me another diaper bag from tokidoki which is all polyester as well and that one actually feels slightly heavier. on the tokidoki site it says it is 2 lbs, while the skip hop bag is 1.9 lbs. hope that helps.

In my opinion, yes. It is a very sturdy bag so the con is the weight. I use it for two kids under two and it gets fairly heavy but the plus side is that it fits everything well!

I did not weigh the bag before we filled it with stuff, but it was fairly light. Now, after stuffing it with equipment, not so much.

Well, mines full of some MREs, extra set of clothes (socks/underwear/pants/shirt), and a sleeping bag; all added up its not very light ;)But the bag itself is quite durable, of course it isn't the most light weight either. I don't find the bag alone very heavy though, I just wouldn't rate it as 'light'. It's also very nice since you can tighten down the straps and compress whatever you have to take up as little volume as possible. This can work great as a standalone bag or you could attach it to the bottom/top of your 'main bag/ruck' if needed. Sorry I can't give you an exact weight, this is very much durable though. So whatever little-extra weight this might have over competitors is probably worth it.

It is not heavy. I don't have the weight but most of the weight comes from the checks inside. It is vinyl and is very durable.

I don't feel like this bag is heavy at all, but hopefully you'll get more answers from others to get more of a general idea.

Doesn't feel heavy at all. It's lighter than the last one I had, anyway, but I guess it depends on what you compare it to. I haven't weighed it myself or anything.

Not around to weigh, but it is a bit heavy. Ok for hauling short distances, but definitely not a back packing model.

I got it for my wife to carry her laptop and iPad to work every day, plus whatever else she wanted to drop in the bag. The bag empty hardly weighs anything. It didn't weigh as much as my empty Ogio bag I carry my stuff in.

The bag with my tools weighs 20 lbs. Then I'll also throw in a drill/driver & bits for specific jobs. It seems to handle it just fine!

keep in mind this bag does not have wheels. the bag itself carries a TON, but think about if you are willing to carry all of your belongings around on your back or on your arm for your trip. i have retired this bag and lent it to people who are more capable of carrying(instead of rolling) heavy bags because i simply don't have the strength to do so myself.

The bag is a heavy-ish material and it can stand up empty. That said, its not very heavy so it will tip over or lose its shape if you are putting in big branches or lopsided items.

The case itself is very nice. We have no complaints about it at all. It does get heavy though depending on what you put in it. It's not a very light bag empty. But my husband likes it a lot.

The bag is fairly heavy. I have not put it on a scale but it is definitely heavier than a pound. The bag is very tough, padded and overbuilt. 9lbs with a shipping box sounds correct.

The bag's huge--it's not heavy, but it's not light weight either. It might be a bit much for a backpacking trip, unless you plan to bring back Sasquatch in it. It holds ALL of my car-camping gear--tent, tarp, sleeping bag, air mat, etc.

To me it is very light weight. This is the 40-inch bag which holds alot. If you are putting it in a backpack, it probably weighs a pound to 1.3 pounds, empty.

No, it is not heavy. As to the size I cannot answer that because I packed it up ready to move, sorry. I love the way the material feels and looks

I agree with Ivan... not super thick but very sufficient. I have found this bag, along with the straps to very comfortable. I have it pretty well loaded when I use it and will wear it for hours and I love it.
