92. wiggys owner and buying more

    Iv bought a few things and plan on buying a few more. Wiggys is warm end of story, and very very well made. iv seen reviews on Wiggy not having good customer service, and I had to write a review because it makes me sick, people have lost what real integrity means. what is real customer service is? well in this day a age where everyone in retail has a big smile lies to you, sells you crap made from china, and all people care about is if someone hangs on their every word. then you get the crap made in china it breaks in a few years if your lucky and you dont lose your toes, and you buy more junk, this is almost criminal in my opinion. the service starts first in the object you are buying, its quality if it even works or not is the science sound. is the person cutting corners to make money, where is their heart ???? guess what I always say I dont care if the doctor is an ass or if his office is nice, all I care about is getting the best dam doctor in the country Wiggys has a nice place and he was very nice to me. he dose make the best cold weather gear in the world I spoke to Wiggy hes was nice and to the point, I respect a man that dosent pull punches and speaks the truth no matter the pressure and money that could be made from the waterproof madness. I think Wiggys has the best customer service in the industry . Im buying mitts and mukluks next oh and the fishnet underwear!

93. My first clue

    that something was amiss was when my dog climbed into my Wiggy's Hunter Ultra-Light with Nautilus overbag bag in the middle of the night. Nature endowed her with a good coat, so I thought she might have been frightened by something outside. (Bears and mountain lions have been killing livestock in the immediate area.) Rousing myself, I noticed the air in my trailer was a good deal more crisp than normal. A glance at the temperature was 34 inside the trailer and 13 outside. Worried about frozen plumbing and resulting leaks, I went to work getting the furnace working again.
    
    Warm as toast inside my sleeping bag, I was unaware of the significant temperature drop. Wiggy's sleeping bags (as well as all the other gear I've purchased from Wiggy's) is remarkable. I wish I had even a fraction of the money back on all the useless junk I've owned in the past.
    
    P.S. I rigged up a system to light a lamp in the future if the furnace fails again, although my canine warning system clearly did work just fine.

94. Toasty warm since 2002

    Hello there,
    some minutes ago I came back from hunting. Today we had our first snow here in Bavaria (Germany) and I had to go out and enjoy the silence.
    I was sitting in a tree-blind in my ftrss bag with my booties on (redundancy). I was so toasty warm, I fell asleep several times. After five hours of glassing, hoping for a winterfox for my girls and relaxed sleep (huntingsleep is the best) I got back to my car. The thermometer showed -5 degrees celsius, not very low, but cold enough sitting absolutely still to get a fox or boar.
    For shorter excursions I wear my lamilite socks. I prefer to wear thin wool socks inside the lamilite socks. For some reason I am getting cold if I wear nylon or poyester next to my skin. So thex wor perfectly for me.
    Two years ago I gave the socks to my wifeas a birthday present. Between the other stuff, her look was like "what the f... are those things?" Half a year later she told me " this socks saved me, without them I wouldn`t have made it over the Alps back". She is an avid Harley biker and visited the biggest meeting in Europe at Faak (nice name ;o)) on her way back she met some adverse weather.
    
    25 years ago in the german army I nearly froze my balls off, surely my toes were so frostbitten that I have still problems today. 2002 I learned of wiggys after I suffered from unsufficient equipment again in Bosnia. I tried that lamilite stuff and it was great. My ftrss bags are still as good as in 2002.
    I was cold in army gear, snugpack stuff, ajungilak, carinthia. Life is too short and precious to have pains from hypothermia while urinating.
    
    Most manufacturers are just braggards. Wiggy is the only one I trust with his stuff completely.
    I have only one complaint, the shipping costs to Germany are murderous. With reasonable costs there would be not one piece of fleece left in my house. But that complaint does not go to Wiggy, but to the powers that be.
    
    Best regards,

95. Best sleeping bag..Period!!!

    Best Sleeping Bag. Period!!!
    
    Dear Jerry, I have your Nautilus Overbag Rectangle; rated for +35 F, and the Hunter Ultima Thule bag; rated for -20 and when used as a set for FTRSS it rates -60. Between these two bags, I can sleep in any condition. I also have the Alaska Range Parka Liner with the L-12 for Arctic use, warmest parks I have ever had. I also have the Liner Jacket and vest which I wear most of the time. When it gets a little bit cooler I wear the vest under the Jacket which stops the wind and will keep me warm down to about 30F. Your boot liner socks are unbelievable, to say the least, Wow what a product as my feet are never wet or damp with daily use! Sam Larson who won the last "Alone” show where they were in Mongolia and it got really cold. Sam Larson used a Wiggy's Antarctic Bag rated at -60F. Sam stated to me that he never was cold, he told me that Larry who was a runner-up used a bag from "Feather Friends at a cost of $1,100.00"! And he, (Larry), was cold a lot of the time. Larry stated that he could never really get warm at all!! Wiggy's bag does it again! What a testimonial from some who had to endure the elements for over 60 days! While I was in The Yukon, I had used my bags and Parka with conditions of -20 with sleet and snow and Wiggy's equipment always worked and kept me really warm. I had accidentally worked up a sweet while being in -10F and got into my sleeping bag and I was almost immediately warm and I was completely dry within minutes of being in the bag. Thanks, Jerry for such great products "That actually work"!!!!

96. Great Clothing

    At 71, I finally drew a ram tag after 21 years of applying in Colorado. It would be a solo hunt, going out every day. I’ve used your sleeping bags ‘forever’, but only recently started using your clothing. Although I used multiple items, the two I relied on the most were your socks and Ducksback raincoat. I actually used the coat as a sweater underneath my camo parka. After climbing for a couple hours in the morning to get above tree line to glass at first light, I was wet and the wind was blowing. I would put on the raincoat, with my camo over it. Within minutes, I was dry and warm. Before moving, I would lay the now damp coat out in the sun and it was dry in minutes. However, I was most impressed with the socks. I knew the terrain would be rocky and much of it above tree line, so I was wearing very heavy mountaineering boots. On day 13, I was successful. It was a 24 hour day, with 18 of it hiking, running, crawling, but mostly multiple trips of carrying very heavy loads down the mountain. At the end of the day, there were no hot spots, no blisters, and my feet were dry. The rest of me may have been a wreck, but my feet were fine. Thank you for some great products.

97. Life Support Gear

    Jerry and staff:
    
    I believe your products, though used primarily as recreational gear, can and should be rated as Life Support Gear.
    
    
    No other manufacturers bags, can be compressed indefinitely, without loosing loft, and in my own testing, when I'm soaking wet, the bag is saturated, crawl into it, you will be warm, given adequate ground insulation, in freezing rain/fog, without a shelter of any type. I know Jerry doesn't recommend this, but the fact that you can be sick or injured, in exposed, hypothermia inducing conditions , and if you can get into your bag, you will be warm. And the bags he makes to work with his Freedom shelter, define the survival bag. When I pack, Jerry's bag is what everything else is built around.

98. Quality Vs lack thereof

    Thank you Jerry. If North Face paid any attention to your quality, they would probably cry and go home. Over the years I have amassed all of the cold weather gear that I will ever need including 3 sleeping bags. I Wouldn't sell any of it, even for original cost. I just hope the pack boots hold up since you no longer make them.

99. Simple, Effective, QUALITY

    Wiggy's gear works.
    Simple as that.
    Every item EVER purchased has performed EXACTLY as Jerry said it would. And in my experiences sometimes even better. Sleeping bags, work wear, pac boots, gloves, ground pads (luxurious) fish nets, socks, abd now the "seconds" leather work boots.
    Even Wiggy's "seconds" are of a quality that exceeds most outdoor wear retailers "top quality".
    My comments are unsolicited and not reimbursed in ANY fashion, nor is it my normal procedure to comment on any product. The products available here are reliable and long lasting quality gear for anyone that is outdoors in less than favorabke conditions

100. Lamilite Boots are Out-of-the-Box Workhorse Comfort

     Hi Jerry,
     
     I bought a pair of these "blem boots" or "factory seconds" last fall and used them on several occasions hiking on soil, rock and in the snow this winter. All I can say is that I love these boots! They may be about the best boots I have ever purchased.
     
     First off, they are true "American" sizes. My feet are actually about a size 12 but because of overseas production, I have become accustomed to buying size 14 all the time. Good thing I tried them on at your factory first because your size 12 Lamilite Boots fit me perfectly. So if any of your customers out there order a pair, don't go by the overseas standards... get your regular American size.
     
     Secondly I noticed that the brown leather is slightly softer and not quite as firm as the black. You explained to me that in the dye process black comes out a bit more firm at first than the natural brown. Either boot would have been great but I chose the brown and I love it.
     
     When I asked you how hard they were to "break-in", you told me that there was no break-in period, that they are ready to wear right out of the box. Man were you right! I used to soak brand new boots in water and wear them until dry to break them in faster. Not these! I put these on the first day, wore them all day long and then went hiking with them the next weekend and not a blister or a sore spot anywhere. They are phenomenal.
     
     When Jerry says, "No break-in required" - he means No Break-In Required! It's true. So don't be afraid to buy your real size and start wearing them right out of the box. These are some of the most comfortable boots I have ever owned and I recommend them to anyone.
     
     The Vibram soles are also a great bottom with good grip. The inside is extremely comfortable and they do come with a removable insert which appears that it will last many years. When laced up tight, they do not pinch the ankle because of the quality of the leather and the craftsmanship of the build. I do treat mine with Lexol Leather Conditioner and pure Mink Oil. Be sure to rub it in good along all the stitching and seams, especially where the sole meets the leather. This is a spot where all boots tend to deteriorate if not treated properly and regularly.
     
     I also purchased the Lamilite Socks to go with the boots and although they looked weird to me at first, they are just as comfortable as any other sock in my drawer. However, with the Lamilite Socks my feet stay dry even after hiking all day down into and back up out of a canyon. These socks are sort of like wearing a mini-sleeping bag on your feet and yes, I did wear the socks in my sleeping bag at night as well. They worked great.
     
     I think that about covers it. The Lamilite Boots are great - even the "seconds" are superb. I actually like the blemish mine have in the leather. It gives them character and saved me a hundred bucks!
     
     Thanks Jerry for another great product.
     
     
     Sincerely yours,
     
     Mark Hillen
     Olathe, Colorado
     
     PS - My wife also loves the Lamilite Booties! Her feet are now finally warm in the house at night. I'm gonna get a pair of the booties for myself one day as well.
