It all depends on what saddle it is and how strong you are....;) To me, I have to admit its not that heavy....you decide;)
I understand what you are saying, but it really depends on the size of the saddle. The bigger inched saddles are heavier than the smaller inched saddles. Some saddles are from 11' inches all the way to 36' inches. The bigger are mostly always heavier! Your welcome!
