Well the Cocoon has made a re-appearance in the for sale section at Backpackinglight ( love the irony there...)

If you have a spare $1700 USD, this is your chance !

Is states 10lb (5kg) somewhere in the thread on BPL. Edit:here it says 12 lb (5.4 kg). http://www.trailspace.com/gear/pneugear/cocoon-4/
Sounds reasonable if you're paddling, skiing or walking in the arctic - what would an expedition tent+mat+ bag + sleeping gear normally weigh?
I reckon my original thermarest, PP sleeping bag, minaret tent and 'just in case' bivvy bag that I used in my 20s would weigh more than that
