Wiggy's Nomex Rig Clothing
Fire Retardant • Light in Bulk & Weight • Warm!
The Nomex Shirt Jacket is cut in a long length to insure that when you bend over the wind will not give you a chill. This jacket has two hand warmer pockets and two breast pockets to hold your belongings. Designed with a high collar it will also eliminate a draft to your neck. Nomex Fire Retardant material is used in construction with this garment as well as Lamilite 6oz insulation. On the cuffs of the sleeves we have sewn in Knit cuffing once again to keep the chill of the wind or air off of your skin.
- [ ] I found myself at a winter campsite without a base camp jacket and I was cold. I’ve also ruined jackets standing near an open flame (with embers, etc). I decided to take a chance this summer, just in case they sold out, to get ready for next winter. I liked the high collar, so I can bury myself in a cocoon. Plus, being made from fire retardant material, I am safer near an open flame. Meanwhile, I was able to stuff the jacket into a 10 Liter : 7” x 16” compression stuff sack! Making it compact enough (7” x 10” compressed) to keep in my emergency kit. Just in case I need it to run into a burning building… lol. The jacket looks heavy, but feels light weight at 2lbs, and the color is a nice navy blue. I can see my wife stealing it from me at cold campsite …

I work on repairing wind turbine blades, where most of the year we are in good conditions and need nothing but a sweater, but for winter, we often do work on the ground and are stationed in places like Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and other midwest places that are especially cold AND windy. Well, this jacket does exactly what it says. I stood fire watch for 2 hours in 15*f weather, my beard frozen, and wind howling. This jacket kept me toasty. This product beats any other brand of heavy winter coat you'll buy built in some chinese sweatshop. Features I appreciate are the deep pockets, long torso, collared wrists, and tall collar that I can practically duct my head inside when it gets really cold. This thing is a beast and I expect it to last my career in Wind. Thank you Wiggys

Yet another home run from Wiggy’s. Ordered this to replace my sweater. Nothing wrong with the sweater just too nice for work. The Nomex and reflective stripe made more sense.
So far I’ve worn it at the dog park. We had a very windy and cold weekend. 20+ mph winds and mid 30’s. Of course I stayed plenty warm. Even my dog was wearing Wiggy’s. He has his own jacket. Once it came time to walk I had to unzip. These jackets and shirts unzipped are warmer than anything you’ll buy with a fancy logo or name on it. Of course the quality is amazing and built in the US.
