A player wearing the best weight reducing clothing

Weight-reducing clothing is clothing that players can wear that will reduce their weight. There are currently fourteen items that can be worn to reduce a player's weight. If a player wore the pieces of armour that offered the maximum weight reduction, that player would achieve the lowest possible weight of –41.3 kilograms.

Weight-reducing armour is very useful in skills and quests that involve a lot of running because run energy decreases relative to a player's weight (e.g. lower weight means less run energy depleted). Agility obstacles also have a greater chance of being completed if the player is lighter. Other weightless items exist and can be used without penalising a player's weight.

Trivia

The minimum weight achievable is -41.3 KG, which is helpful for times where long periods of running is required, like Penguin hunts, and during some quests. In addition it can be useful for moving ores, logs, and other heavy items you need to move in large bundles (e.g. during All fired up (minigame)). If you have an Experience boosting set it may be a better choice for experience.
