Their website says 12 oz. Hoping it's less. What's everyone finding?

My XL Xlite weighs 15.7 oz in the stuff sack but without the patch kit. That is pretty much the exact claimed weight so I suspect the regular is pretty close to 12 oz.

When I first got it I believe I had measured 12.7oz.

Now having used it a number of times I'm reading 13 flat. Although I fill it with an Instaflator, I top it off with a breath or two for added pressure. Being as how the material is see through I can see water droplets inside.

I suspect the small amount of water trapped inside accounts for the weight gain from initial purchase.

Thanks, everyone! This has me thinking again about my earlier idea of experimenting with the short version with a piece of auto shade attached to the leg end. If I feel the weight savings is justifiable, I'd prevent leg drop off by building up that area with what was available on site (sand, rocks, leaves, logs, etc.)
