bulky
Hard to carry
Bulky describes something large and difficult to handle because of its size or shape rather than its weight.
A bulky package is awkward to carry.
Bulky clothing adds volume to the body.
The word often implies inconvenience—something that takes up more space than you'd like: The bulky equipment barely fit in the trunk.
