Welcome back all! I missed the banter.
We'll check that description and correct it. Pleased to hear the Filco Camo is bringing smiles. Odd colours always scare the hell out of me but Filco seem to have got it right again.
Breaking in is the most plausible Ping improving factor.
Storage could be an issue but ours, Filco and Amazon are nice warm dry warehouses. It is worth noting that all electrical goods go into containers which can be on deck or in the hold and I guess they could get very cold. Also air freight in the hold gets very cold. Things are always kept dry.
