lightweight
Easy to carry
Lightweight describes something that weighs relatively little: a lightweight jacket, lightweight materials.
In boxing and other combat sports, lightweight is a weight class for smaller competitors.
Figuratively, a lightweight is someone lacking substance, seriousness, or influence: He's a political lightweight.
The word can dismiss intellectual depth: lightweight entertainment, a lightweight analysis of the problem.
