They aren't, it's something people believe due to a misunderstanding.

The Apollo A7L space suit worn by Neil Armstrong during his moon walk weighed around 200lbs. This was because it was a five-layer, reinforced, pressurised suit to protect the occupant and keep him alive. No extra weight was added artificially, he could have moonwalked just fine in a much lighter suit.
