The WhichBivvy Verdict
The JRC Cocoon has a genuine following among UK carp anglers and the 2G update addresses the one thing anglers actually wanted more of, space.
The new squared frame construction has drastically enlarged the inner footprint compared to the original Cocoon, giving proper room for today’s larger bedchairs alongside the kit needed for a longer session.
The build quality is a step up too.
Ultralight 6061 aerospace grade rigid aluminium poles in a non-glare titanium grey finish give the frame genuine rigidity without unnecessary weight, and the interlocking tension bars help keep everything solid in poor weather.
The 10,000mm HH 210D PU coated nylon handles typical UK conditions reliably, and the heavy duty 100% PVC groundsheet included as standard is a proper hard wearing option rather than a lightweight afterthought.
Three door configurations, clear, green and mozzy mesh, plus a letterbox option, give genuine flexibility across the seasons. Large front and back vents help manage condensation, and rod retaining straps are a small but useful practical touch for keeping your rods secure overnight.
Everything comes supplied in a heavy duty carry bag with pegs, which is worth noting given some competitors at this price point sell those separately

Pros & Cons
What we like
- Squared frame construction gives significantly more usable internal space than the original Cocoon
- 6061 aerospace grade aluminium poles give genuine rigidity in a non-glare finish
- Heavy duty 100% PVC groundsheet included as standard rather than sold separately
- Three door options plus letterbox configuration for genuine seasonal flexibility
- Large front and back vents help manage condensation
- Interlocking tension bars add stability in poor weather
- Rod retaining straps are a small but genuinely useful practical touch
- Carry bag and pegs included as standard
Watch out for
- 15kg weight means this is a barrow or drive-in shelter for most anglers
- JRC has less brand recognition among some anglers compared to Nash, Fox or Trakker
- Pole and frame setup takes longer than a quick-erect design
- 315cm by 305cm footprint needs a genuinely generous swim
- 10,000mm waterproofing is solid but not class leading for hard winter campaigns

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Hydrostatic Head Rating On The Jrc Cocoon 2g Bivvy?
The JRC Cocoon 2G uses 210D PU coated nylon with a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating. This is a solid waterproofing figure suitable for typical UK conditions including sustained rain, though anglers fishing hard through the coldest winter months may want to consider a higher rated shelter for the most exposed sessions.
What Is Different About The Jrc Cocoon 2g Compared To The Original Cocoon?
The 2G version introduces a new squared frame construction that has drastically enlarged the inner space compared to the original Cocoon. This gives more room for today’s larger bedchairs and the additional gear anglers bring on longer sessions, while retaining the core design that made the original Cocoon popular.
What Comes Included With The Jrc Cocoon 2g Bivvy?
The Cocoon 2G comes with a heavy duty 100% PVC groundsheet, a heavy duty carry bag and pegs all included as standard. Three door options are available, clear, green and mozzy mesh, along with a letterbox configuration, giving genuine flexibility to adapt the shelter to different seasons and conditions.
How Heavy Is The Jrc Cocoon 2g Bivvy?
The 2 Man version weighs 15kg. This uses ultralight 6061 aerospace grade rigid aluminium poles which help keep the weight reasonable given the enlarged squared frame construction, but at 15kg this remains a barrow or drive-in shelter for most anglers rather than something to carry any significant distance.
