Hi guys. I recently bought a "fish" scale off Amazon just for weighing my jackets. I picked it up for $14, they had some cheaper and few that cost more.
Cant wait to see what that beast weighs in atOh I have to get one of these for one reason only.
I don't want a digital scale. I would like a mechanical one, that I can recalibrate to zero after pre-loading, and that will remember the weight put on it after it comes off.Thanks for your input HH121. I know you have some super heavyweight jackets.
Jmax, Thanks for the compliments. I wish the vanson and Johnson fit a little better. They are well made. My vanson turns into a big sail after about 50mph. It balloons up big time. Cant wait to hear what your jackets weigh.
Guppy, I got mine off Amazon. They had many to choose from. I just got one that was in the middle. It seems pretty accurate. I measured each jacket a few times and had the same reading.
I have several of the mechanical scales with the springs, but I actually like the digital scale shown here. It appears that the scale will show both pounds and tenths of a pound as well as only ounces?
Better than a vintage produce scale too!Yes Peacoat. The one I have will show lbs. ozs. and kilos. I believe most do. Most were around 10 to 15 bucks. You can also program it to use a tare weight, such as a hanger. I measured each jacket a few different times and each time was almost dead on.. Might not be the most accurate, but is WAY better than the bathroom scale method. lol.
