35d Does it weight more than an ounce? Yes and No (4,7)

Answer appears to be Snow Leopard . I don't get this one at all. Help appreciated!

PS 'weight' should be 'weigh' - my typo :-(

Hello Folks
I have finished except for 18 across:
Reindeer-skin boots principally for one's kin surprisingly. (8)

I have -a-n-s-o

Can't make any sense of the clue!

Your A is wrong. It is literally the name for reindeer-skin boots.
You will find an anagram…

Are you sure of the A? Finnesko, boots made from reindeer skin works . Anagram (surprisingly) of 'ones kin' and th F at the start (principally) of For.

Thank you to those who replied with the answer. I'll have to re-visit the A! I thought it must be an anagram of 'one's kin' and another letter but was distracted by the A.
Many thanks
