According to an old 1979 catalog I still have in my files, the largest of the
double bag horse collars had 44 1/2 lbs of lift in salt water. There was an
equivalent ladies model that had 35 lbs of lift, and an even smaller model
with 26 lbs of lift.
If you've got the one that looks correct on the average adult male, it'll
have the 44.5 lbs of lift.
