From what I can tell it is about the same weight as the Valve Index which I have been able to wear for a fairly extended period of time while doing physical activities. If I can wear that while being physical I can probably handle the Vision Pro for extended periods.

Based on my extensive experience with a Quest 2, overall weight isn’t as much of a factor as balance of that weight is. The Quest 2 wasn’t that comfortable to use out of the box, but after adding a Vive Deluxe Audio Strap connected with 3D printed adapters (which distributes weight better) and a counterweight that’s attached the back of the strap it’s dramatically improved. Still not perfect, but I have no issues wearing it for an hour or longer playing Beat Saber.

  That is a good point which is really hard to get a good feel for what this will be in that regards without actually trying it. But I just don't think weight alone will be a concern given my experience with the Index. My only problems with the index is the weight distribution while moving around (particularly while playing beat saber and crouching) but I likely wouldn't be doing that with the Vision Pro. And heat while being physically active but that was easily solvable by adding a fan to the front. I already use this thing almost every day. But maybe that's because I am used too it so the jump to something like this is not really that crazy.

I didn't realize it would be the same weight as an Index. That's great to hear. I found the Index incredibly comfortable for long stretches too. Half-Life: Alyx was incredible and spent hours at a time playing it without any discomfort.

It's actually about 150-200 grams lighter than the Index, though the distribution of weight seems to be better balanced on the Index than the AVP. Hard to say how it will feel for long term usage, but I'm not particularly concerned, personally.
