Should I buy a heavy weight or a light weight bathrobe?

This is a personal choice. A heavy weight bathrobe has a number of benefits, these include:

• A heavy weight bathrobe is around 380 gsm. A heavy weight bathrobe will keep you warm in winter or in a ac room; but if you are in summer and not using ac in room after a bath, the heavy weight could actually feel heavy and hot. in that case, its better to go for a light one.
• A heavy weight looks more luxurious and also has better fall to it. If the bathrobe overlap of one side over another is less than required  (some manufacturers do this to keep material weight low), it could mean the bathrobe does not cover properly and shows inside from the sides.
• A good thing about a heavy weight bathrobe is that it is not a see through..again, a better option related to privacy.
