It’s understandable that people always think of twinsets as big and heavy, but this is not the case with twin 7’s.
The Faber website lists the weights of all their cylinders:
Single 12L cylinder:
|
12-15kg
|
As you can see, twin 7’s are lighter than a 15L, and about the same as a heavy 12L. And compared to a diver with a pony, there’s no comparison. If you want to be redundant, a twinset is by far the lightest way of doing it.
And, just for information:
Twin 10's weigh 22kg
Twin 12's weigh 32-40kg
So if you're a 15 + pony man, you might want to take a look at the fact that your setup weighs the same as twin 10s.
