Yea, I was at REI the other nite and asked for a scale to weigh jackets
cuz the weight wasn't on the tags and the salesperson seemed shocked
that I would want to actually weigh it and use that in my decision, not
the ton of features on the heavy one.  

We didn't weigh them, so they must not have had one.  I think they
should in a very visable location so you can use it w/o having to find a
salesperson.
