I spoke with Wanderinstar today, the batch being made will be made black inside and green outside.

You are correct that the one I trialed was the other way round but that is how that one was made up.

I asked for mine specifically to be green outside, I prefere the green outer, but both my wife and I noticed it seemed to warm up quicker with the black on the inside.(we tried it inside out just to see how it would look and feel). So they are all being made up that way.

Yes they will ALL be black inside and green outside.In order to get some out to people before Christmas I have stuck my neck out and ordered 15 to be made up. This goes very much against the grain, because if things go mammary glands skywards, to quote Spam, I will be left with a large bill and a very bleak Christmas.
So there are 12 people on the list at the moment, if they PM me with full name and address I will then PM back with PP details. The next 3 people who can pay by PP will be lucky. Everyone else may have to wait till after Christmas. I will not close Group Buy until 30 people have ordered. If I get the 30 names before end of week, I will ask if they can be done before Christmas.

According to In Wood . He tried not using the ridgeline and felt some condensation on his face, this was with bag fully shut up. You could leave the zip open over your face. That was my original intention when I besigned it. However Ian says that with the ridgeline in, it keeps top of bag off your face , it also holds the hole at rhe head end slightly open so allowing condensation to escape.
I can only go on what ian has said because I haven't had it out yet. Hope that helps.

Yep, as Wandrinstar said, with the cocoon fully shut and no ridge line in I was not happy about the condensation build up, but this was right in my face, so I rigged up the additional ridge line and I felt it was fine like this, I stopped out on quite a cold night without finding excessive ammounts of condensation, the head vent helps alot in my opinion.

Even if you do find you are suffering with excess condensation as it is a synthetic you could just leave it open to air during the day and it wont effect the loft that much.

I am posting the cocoon to a chap in Scotland for him to give it a try too, so lets see what he comes back with, but as I have said I am impressed and have my name down for one.
