Hello, i don’t find the chain heavy since I used to big bags however, I would say the pearl crush might have a little more weight than a classic WOCI have lower back problem and I have the classic woc. I’m unsure about this piece because the chain is a bit heavy when I put a few tiny things inside. Do you know if the chain is heavy on the pearl crush? I know the strap is shorter on the pearl crush so I figure it might weight less than classic woc.
