10" by 15" Level IIIA panel weighs "less than a bottle of water", so I'd say roughly a pound.

The Same in III weighs about 3.5 lbs.

My system will add about 2.5 to 3 lbs to a backpack. It will stop all handgun calibers.

The heavy version will about 6-7 lbs, But it will stop 5.56 and 7.62 Nato FMJ.
