PeaPod Hood

I like my PeaPod, but there are a few issues I've had with it:

Solution: the PeaPod Hood

The PeaPod Hood turned right-side out. The Velcro attaches to the PeaPod's Velcro.

Sure is ugly in this view, huh?

Turned inside out to show the fleece lining that touches my face.
Halfway connected. The Hood's Velcro extends about 2" beyond the hood on both sides, with the backs together, to hold it in place without creating a gap between the Hood and PeaPod.
The bottom opening of the hood when it's connected. The pic is kinda upside down - that opening is where my neck goes, so if I were laying in it my head would be upside down in the picture.
The hood completely installed.
Now I can lay comfortably in the PeaPod with soft fleece touching my face instead of the Velcro. No bellows action to push out my warm air when I move, and I can even cover my whole face without worrying about condensation in the down.

I can still reach above my head to the end of the hammock, stick a pillow under my neck, etc.

I can put my whole head out to cool off or look around without loosing the warm air inside the PeaPod or scratching my neck with Velcro.
