The stock guards are by far the lightest you can get, most of the carbon guards are heavier from experience!
Ti stays help a bit...
Loads of ways to save weight, what’s your build look like?

Just idly wondering, really! St Jan always claims that e.g. Honjo guards are lighter than Chromoplastics, partly because the stays are lighter, but the aluminium Brompton guards I've seen mostly reuse the stock stays - Ti ones would help, I guess! At 6'5" and over 15 stone, weight-weenieism is always going to be the most marginal of gains for me...

Are the custom aluminium guards that you can get any lighter than the standard ones?
