This year we are going to Coz again (since I got sick last year, but that's a WHOLE other story) and I guess we either pay the over weight fee or bring ANOTHER bag and pay that fee... wow
Each of you get 1 50lb bag free, you should be able to to get your individual gear and extras in a bag and keep it under 50lb. Plus you get your carry on so you have a little wiggle room to move stuff if needed.
