Don't go by what they say they weigh. One of the things that turned me off about the LW was that. They said 14 but it was 17. Not saying they don't, just saying they all stretch things, bow speed, arrow straightness, stand weight...
A pound does matter. Hikers will agree. Still, all of them are heavy. I wonder how they bumped the weigh limit up on the Goliath with only a pound? A pound of whatever must go a long way.
I weighed the Northstar when I got it and it was what they said it was, 17. Pretty sure using the LW hand climber has brought the weight down below 14 or close to it.
