What is the going weight on entire sleep systems? My sleep system,including hammock, rain fly, sleeping bag, pad, and oc uc, weights 8.8 lbs. Is this really heavy or ok?

Summer - 3.3lbs

Yours seems a bit high. My guess would be avg 5-6lbs for 3 season

For cooler weather:
WBBB 1.7dbl, big mamjamba tarp, 3s Burrow, 3s UQ = 6.25lbs
I could probably get that down to 5 to 5.5lbs for warmer weather.

-- Finis Mitchell,
What temps? What's the humidity like? What kind of weather?
I three-season with my hammock and, here, that's May-October with potential freezing nighttime temps throughout that time. I rely on my always carried cold weather clothing for my sleep system so there's no bag, no quilt, etc.
To the stock Hennessy I've added snakeskins at the cost of a couple ounces, a 7oz Oware pad and a couple ounces worth of aluminum pegs for the (standard) tarp. So far in this thread nobody has mentioned sleepwear so I'll leave that out too. You figure out how to count the weight of the dual-use cold weather clothing...
It's all good to mid-to low-20's.

Summer - 3.4lbs ~ 50*F and above
Spring/Fall - 3.9lbs ~ 32-50*F

sleepwear used as necessary in each range...
