    UGQ Down Skully Weight

    Received the skully's I ordered for The Terminator and myself. They are nice and super light weight. Fold down to almost nothing. Was wearing mine around the house this AM. Noticed a big difference on how much colder my head felt after I took it off.

    Decided to check the weights of the caps.

    UGQ states the "Average Weight for Large 28 g"


    I got the following....

    L 1.3 oz......36 gr


    XXL 1.6 oz......46 gr

    While the weight I got on the Large was slightly heavier than the average, I still consider it to be very close and nothing to be concerned about as there are several variables that are hard to control.

    If you don't have one....get one.

    Now I am thinking about trying to wear the skully with my UGQ's fleece beanie


    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
