FYI i tried to check out the lp site, they are down right now. Bummer Sounds great! Probably uses a gore-tex type vapor barrier where vapor of h2o pass, but liquid h2o, being more dense, cannot pass thru. it uses the water tension of liquid h2o v individual molecules of vapor.
I would NOT flip it backwards. building products are generally designed to go on one way, other wise you could be TRAPPING the heat / vapor, etc in your hut.
