they are about as heavy weight as a freezer bag but angled( maybe about 60 degree?) so you can put a long lens in with no problem( i mean long, like a foot!), then have room for your hand( up to my elbow) or tripod. not sure how they would hold up if you lived by salt water and used them often but for my vacation they should be ok. they stay on by the draw string at the lens and the eyepiece so you can change lens and leave the bag in place....probably better than a freezer bag with a hole and rubberband but then again you could buy 50 freezer bags for the same price
the optech strap while it won't win any fashion awards( wish i had bought the black, the wine is pretty ugly) actually makes my xt with the 28-135 barely noticeable around my neck...so i think the 50 % lighter stuff is pretty close..but this one is to short for me to wear across my chest unless i want my camera in my armpit...but then the rain sleeve would come in handier i guess ( ewwww)
