interesting that the ARC is 0.3kg heavier than the Super K v2 in the 88/90 size despite not having a handle and being equivalent volume. Arc 88l is spec'd at 5.0kg, Super K2 90l in Pro Carbon at 4.7kg (although my personal board is 5.0kg).
That actually kinda makes sense. A longer, wider, thinner board with equivalent volume will have greater surface area (ie more shell material). And with thinner foam, the shell may need additional reinforcement (more layers or beefier stringers).

I think most brands advertise weight without pad
Which seems kind of moronic. although I do know some companies do this but it's not like the pad is optional (like straps). 88 Arc is same length as the 90 K2 Pro and just a touch wider, but no handle. I wonder how much weight they could shave without footstrap inserts. 11lbs for production ~90l is better than most. Been very pleased with my Super K2 and it's demo'd well. Looking forward to the Arc.

Does not seem to be the case, my 60 L super K is pretty close to the listed 3.9 kg.
