I've just mailed my Buddy BCD to a buyer. There was only the BCD in a cardboard box and it weighed in at 6.69 kilos, and yes it was dry as it hasn't been dived for 6 months (the bladder was empty too). Maybe the new TD's like this are heavier?
Anyway, it's not only the weight, but the physical bulk of them in comparison to a single tank wing.
Lots of good advice here though
