Perhaps one should consider the average weight a military personel would carry in the field.
As a side note, I usually carry a 30lbs backpack. Adding a "few" extra pounds wouldn't hurt too much. In fact the effect should be reduced slightly due to this "efficiency" that was recorded from the tests. Mind you, they never did state how much of an improvement. I'm assuming its so miniscule the wearer probably wouldn't notice.
