FAQ: COCOON : The Iceless Cold Compression Gear
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Kickstarter!

Why do I need a sleeve with iceless cold compression therapy?

Better recovery experience. The 360 degrees of cold compression therapy and 100% coverage of the treatment area effectively support and provides instant relief without limiting your mobility, and we’ve designed Cocoon such that they conform to your body perfectly.

Better convenience. No more velcro or straps or sitting in one spot. Just slip on your Cocoon, and go about your day. Simple.

Better functionality. Use for 7 body parts with 1 sleeve means it makes it easier to keep track of, not lose, not forget and can save you money in the long run.

Why a Pair of Cocoons is listed as US$59, but in the reward tier it's S$81?

As we are Singapore based project, Kickstarter only allows backers’ pledges to be collected in our native currency - Singapore dollars (S$).

Singapore dollar is weaker than the US dollar. That is why on the reward tiers you will see these:

Pair of Cocoons > “Pledge S$81 or More” instead of US$59. 2 Pairs of Cocoons > “Pledge S$149 or More” instead of US$109. 4 Pairs of Cocoons > “Pledge S$271 or More” instead of US$199.

We have factored in currency rate fluctuations, and took the closest approximation possible.

When do I choose the size?

We will send you a CrowdOx survey before shipping where you can select the size of each Cocoon you’ve pledged for. We will you a survey right after you have placed your pledge and we do very much appreciate it if you fill it in! You still have time to think about - and change - your preferred size, as you can make your final choice in the survey we’ll send you before shipping.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
