George.
Is the 24.6 oz for the large quilt or the reg.
Thanks Jeff

24.6 with stuff sack sounds like a regular

[George Matthews]

Yes, the regular.

Can't take it any longer. I'm heading out for a 24 hr in less than 10 minutes to deflower the new quilt( reg) and hoody (large). Will report back late tomorrow.

Will be in Shenandoah NP. Forecast is 71 F high 43 F low. Clear. Maybe some color in leaves. After the last couple of days of rain, there will be water flowing.

Later : )

Never took the Hoody out of my pack : )

The night seemed closer to 50. Will have to wait temperatures to drops for a true test.

One good thing IMO I learned was that it fits well inside the BPL Vapr bivy.

How generous is the sizing on the Cocoon hoody? I haven't tried one on before but have the pro 60 which, is more of a belay jacket and I think I recall was sized a bit larger?

Is the 2010 Cocoon Hoody designed to fit close, as a mid layer for fit? or sized to go over other layers?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts or advice.

I sized up on mine to layer it over a UL down inner.

Thanks Chris,

Any ideas why this thread doesn't rise to the top in 'latest posts"?

I have to do a search on 'cocoon'to find it, as it seems completely buried.
