Looking over suit options and I was curious what the various race suits weigh. Please include the brand, style, size, and of course weight.

I weigh 175 lbs. My race suit weighs 25 lbs. Yes it does!

LOL...I wish...
I have a Sparco Ultrasomething. Bought it in January of 07, so this is going to be its 4th season. Still in great shape and very light -- much better than the cheap-o OMP I started with.
I think spending $800 to $1,000 on a good suit (if you can afford it) is worth the money in terms of comfort, etc.

I have a RaceQup 3 layer custom Nomex, 3-2A/5 suit that weighs 3.5-4 lbs. That's without shoes, and socks and the nomex undies and gloves, head pot and head sock.

Before or after an hour in the car?
Racequip 3-2A/5 is about 4 pounds dry.
