Your Wiggy's sleeping bag is guaranteed for a lifetime of use. If a seam opens or the Lamilite insulation deteriorates (such as losing its loft or separating, clumping in one place or another), Wiggy’s will repair or replace your bag at no charge to you.
A -60° (F) bag. I believe the Antarctic model is the only -60° bag made in the world. The loft averages 10 inches, and the weight for a regular length, wide body model is 6.5 pounds. The long/wide body weighs 7 pounds. Adding the Flexible Temperature Range Sleep System (FTRSS) brings the temperature range down to -80° (F).
My husband used to work at wiggys Inc ages ago. I still have the lamilite insulated set minus the pillow from sometime, before 1997. Other than a couple of places where the fabric is coming apart, ( I'm sure due to being a relic ) I still use it all the time. Mostly sleeping in my suv with back seats folded down & memory foam mattress pad for the bed. Anyways I only ever usually need one. Depending on how cold it is outside. The lighter weight one woks great for anything 32°F or warmer. Getting into lower Temps or into -F the heavier one is best. Only takes a little bit to warn up, but when you wake up you're nice & toasty, if not sweating to death.

I bought The Antarctic Sleeping Bag, and believe me when’s I say it’s the best you’ll ever find, and it actually causes your body to generate and produce more body heat, it’s like a heated sleeping bag but better.
You don’t need to wear base layers of clothing or you’ll get to hot, I didn’t say too warm, it’ll make you hot.
Better buy a larger stuff sack that comes with it .
I hope to take it winter camping this year just waiting for the bottom to fall out of the temperature to try it out.
It’s way too big to take on a cross country backpacking expedition or even a short hike due to the size and bulkiness of it.
Get some small ratchet straps to since it down, and study very carefully how to unzip the two bags because if you don’t know how the zippers work with one another you’ll pull your hair out try lying to figure it out, they’re not made like normal zippers, they’re 100% better than any zipper I’ve ever experienced!
Once you understand how they work it’s no big deal, but you must be extremely patient putting them back together.
If there is no heat source and the electricity goes out or your furnace runs out of propane or natural gas, this sleeping bag will keep you really warm and keep you alive.
It’ll even keep you alive if it gets rained on!
I’m not getting paid for this review.
You may never need this extreme of a bag, you may not even ever use it, but if you need to, it will save your life.
I apologize for any and all grammatical errors in this post, couldn’t see well with out glasses.
I’m surprised that as good as this product is that it doesn’t cost $1,000.00 bucks.

I bought a Wiggy’s sleeping bag about 15 year’s ago and I was told that it was the same ones that the United States Navy Seal’s Use and the mean I could literally lay in water before it could come into the sleeping bag and I had just purchased the inner liner even and I can’t recall what model it was, but I won’t buy a different sleeping bag beside’s the original Wiggy’s sleeping bag and I don’t know why they don’t have them on Amazon because I was worried for a minute that they were no longer making them and I know quality and you pay for what you get in terms of quality and craftsmanship and 5/5 stars in my opinion and I’m currently looking for the best of the best in the line of sleeping bag’s that Wiggy’s make’s. Thank you so much for your quality product that like I said nothing even comes close to Wiggy’s sleeping bag and I have never purchased anything else from the company, but I absolutely will be a customer of Wiggy’s for life!

I was on an expedition by dog team from Nenana to Nome in 2020 and spent two night son the Yukon River in February when it was -50 below. We were in an unheated tent. You will not be cold with this bag! It was nice and toasty despite the extreme cold.

Bought my Wiggy’s fag back in 1999 when I moved northern Alaska. Best purchase ever!! Used on many camping trips and always nice and toasty inside. Great product and so needed in these elements.

I regularly go camping in Baja, Mexico and in the western US (CA, NV, UT, CO, OR).
I always like to sleep outside under the stars, and this bag has never let me down. From the beaches to the snowy mountains, I know that I will always be warm. I tested the sleeping bag in the snow last winter. I slept the entire night directly on the snow (no pad) in my underwear and wasn't cold all night.
I highly recommend!

This past January I took a road trip with my brother in law from Seattle to Anchorage. We slept in the back of his SUV at night on a camping pad. I took an Antarctic bag with overbag just to be safe. Up in the Yukon Territory the temperature in the morning was -20°F according to the car's on board temperature reading. I was toasty warm. My brother in law had two super lights doubled up and he said he was warm too. The end of the bags were touching the inside of the lift gate and there were two perfect circles of frost on the plastic where the bags were touching. This validates the claim that these bags draw moisture out. The trip was epic and I was super happy to have a Wiggy bag to keep me sleeping like a baby!

In the few years I've used your bags, I have not had one single nights cold sleeping, ever. I definitely couldn't say that before I bought your bags. And yes, I had some of the top named brands, some costing double what yours cost me. It is also why I'm inquiring on new bag prices. I sold my Ultima Thule mummy to a friend of mine headed to Canada. He slept one night in it and about pestered me to death, so to shut him up I sold him the bag. So, I'm soon going to buy another one! even though I have the Antarctic Hunter, most of the time this far south (LA/AR) I use the Ultima and the super light for all seasons. But if I occasionally do venture out in January/February and camp with our humidity, then I definitely tote the Antarctic bag with a bivy, or the hammock with a liner and a tarp. Either way, I'm not gonna freeze my fat butt off anymore. I'm over 50 and a cold natured sleeper. Thanks again, Jerry, for making a very good product at a reasonable price!
(P.S.) I hope you're getting orders from Louisiana occasionally, as I have shown your equipment and site to a lot of people in the last few years. In the last 2 yrs I have also sold all the other name brand, so-called best equipment made gear I used for years, miserably. A problem now solved, permanently.

Mr. Wigutow
I purchased your Antarctic bag with the FTRSS system about 3 years ago and couldn’t be happier. I live in Northern Ontario and go on an annual camping trip every March. We sleep in tents and spend the weekend ice fishing in the day and enjoying the campfire by night. Two years ago the temperature at night dropped to -25 Celsius. I was the only person warm out of the group. In the morning my buddy (who froze) couldn’t believe that all I slept in was my underwear and a tee shirt. He had his snowsuit on under his bag. This year, he bought the same bag as I did. We both decided to put our bags to the test this January. It was the coldest weekend of the year here. We slept directly on the snow with your ground mat with our FTRSS Antarctic bags. The temperature was -39 degrees Celsius without the windchill. We were both toasty warm even considering our blood was quite “thin” we went to bed.
Thanks for a great product
