I'm new to this, but enjoying my light owl. Don't have UQs yet (though I'm trying to decide which one now) so I'm using pads and that double layer makes it easy. Light Owl is 1.5 oz heavier than the Snipe (if you're counting) and uses a slightly lighter 1.1 oz ripstop vs. the 1.5 for the Snipe. You can't go wrong with either.
