Sorry if I'm repeating a thread but I'd like to know if there's a significant weight difference between the Day RH and Day GH.

I have a RH City. Would you say the Day RH is almost as light as the RH City? The bal website states that the Day GH is "lightweight at 1.7 lbs" while the RH City is 1.3 lbs. No weight info on the RH Day.

Any thoughts to share? Thanks!
 
Hi there! My first day was a GH and I didn't think it was heavy at all. I just bought a RH one and I noticed that it was lighter. I don't carry a lot most of the time so the GH doesn't bother me.
 
I think the RH Day is significantly lighter than the RH City. It is probably the extra hardware needed for the long strap on the City. I think the RH Days are the lightest of all the full size Bals. :hrmm:
 
I have had both RH and GH Days and I think GH Days are slightly heavier (maybe 15-20%) than the RH counterpart but not significantly so. In other words, when it comes to Days, the difference in hardware is more of an aesthetic issue for me and not a weight issue.

For Cities however, the difference in weight is definitely more significant.

Agreed.

My first Day was GH. I do prefer, however, the weightlessness of the Day in RH... but when carrying very little, I'm happy to carry the GH in Day.

The weight difference for me between RH and GH on the City or Part-Time means that although I like how GH looks, I am very happy to give it up, to have only bought Part-Times in RH... still love the leather and colours!!
