Hi Wiggys crew,
The new site looks great!

Just wanted to take a minute and thank you for your work.

From the Antarctic Bag & Mitts, our beautiful white Fossil Ridge Parkas & Bibs, Mukluks, even the booties & other odds & ends…   these have all become my favorite things, because they’re the equipment depend on with full confidence.  Amazing warmth, breathability and comfort, rugged durability, washability, and the quality of your company itself, standing behind your products & even accommodating custom orders; there is just no one like you guys.

You’ve made winter my favorite time of year.  Now when it’s -35, I grab a book, my gear & snowshoes, head out wherever, and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air in total comfort.  I’ve used your gear winter camping & adventuring up into canada, climbing up/sliding down snow, ice, rocks & dirt, been blown across Lake Superior on my face in ice squalls and after the initial shock, even enjoyed the experience of getting run over by the freight train whiteout hurricane, completely warm & protected.  Somehow, this stuff shows no wear yet!  I don’t get it, but I love it.

I can’t thank you enough for the excellent equipment and your willingness to do custom work to make everything perfect for your customers.

Sincerely,
Pete Doering

Here are a few pics of places your gear has allowed me  to go...

Mr. Wigutow,

In August of this year I completed my Alaskan caribou hunt that I discussed in my first email back in April, 2014. During the trip, I utilized the Super Light bag that I purchased on your advice. I had the FTRSS with me but I did not need it! I used it as an extra sleeping bag since the Super Light was plenty warm; for short periods I slept with bare feet and was plenty warm. I was able to dry out most of my clothes just by either wearing them in the bag or stuffing them inside while I was in it. My buddies with cheap bags never could dry their clothes and they were miserable. I did not take your ground pad with me since we had an outfitter camp package that included (cheap USGI-type) sleeping pads.

I also wore daily your 9” socks and jacket liner. They worked very well in keeping me warm and dry. The socks were very comfortable during the 40-plus miles I walked while on the hunt. In the attached photo I was wearing the jacket inside out as 'tundra camo.' It worked well in that regard.

Anyways, thank you for the great advice and for the great products.

Posing with caribou


I think I bought my Ultima Thule back in like 1997 and it's still my go to bag in the winter time here in Colorado. Over New Year's eve I backpacked up Pikes Peak and camped inside Monty's Rock Pile just below Barr Camp. The temp at night was around 5 below zero and I slept toasty warm thanks to your bag. Thanks Jerry.

[Here's a picture of] your awsome waders at work. 3rd season on them and of course they were trashed by the end of last season, but a few patches got us through this season. They sure do make crossing streams with sheep meat on your back a little nicer. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

  1. Lamilite Socks definitely worth it

    Purchased a pair of the 13inch Lamilite socks after speaking with the owner Jerry on size recommendation. I have no idea what sort of sorcery is involved in the manufacturing process, but my feet legit stay dry after wearing for several hours at a time in high activity. You expect your feet to be soaked because of the feel of the material on your bare feet, but nope, they stay dry.

    Definitely recommended for higher aerobic activities in cold weather.

  2. Edited do add

    My Wiggys bag is not next to me, as I sit here typing, but your sweater is on the door behind me, your 6oz liner is next to it. Your nomex 6 oz shirt is in the front clothes closet, Head to toe arctic stuff is in a stuff sack in my bedroom. Socks and fishnets are in my dresser bottom drawer. I'm sitting typing in your 3oz. liner. I know where your sleeping bags are, but I keep my clothes closer.

    Regards, Jim

  3. Nothing but Wiggys

    Just the other day I educated some folks re yous. I told them of my experience with your products, and they said they would contact you. I have no idea if that in fact happened, but big boy rules. All I can do is educate.

    If I was Zar of military purchases, every soldier, coasty, sailor or airman would have Wiggys sleeping bags and pads and clothes. Maybe that would be enough to entice Wiggy to reestablish his clothing line. Just as there is no replacement for his bags and pads, under the doctrine of your clothing as your first and perhaps your only line of protection, that we survive out of our pockets, totally independent shelter, based on the worst the location and season can muster. Heed the forecast, and realize local conditions are not necessarily regional conditions, based on the historical weather record for where you are/going recognizing that records are made to be and likely will be broken. There is no replacement for his clothes, just no wear no warm clothes. Depending on when or where, that can be life threatening.
    Yes, with your Wiggys bag and pad and perhaps a tarp or tent, that no matter what, if you can get into that bag, you will be warm. Sometimes, mobility is necessary part of my survival. Wiggys from head to toe, in layers, mix and match, his Freedom sleeping bag can be another layer, as well as a sleeping bag, I can thrive ongoing in any conditions this side of space or under the ocean.
    I teach his bags and his pads, and his clothes, unaffected by moisture or compression, doesn't support combustion (Nomex available, doesn't burn), clothes mitigate environmental hypothermia, and his bags treat environmental or traumatic hypothermia. Not either or but and, please.

    Regards, Jim

  4. HOME INVADED BY WIGGY'S!!!

    4 comforters, 2 Urban Antarctic parkas, fishnet drawers, & a dog jacket later, all is well. Safe & warm. Latest purchase was 4th comforter for sister & brother in-law for use in their motorhome when travelling. They LOVE it! Sounds like they'll be using it at home also. Works best in close contact with body. Too many attributes to list. BOTTOM LINE: KEEP 'EM COME'N, ACE!!!!

  6. Thanks for adding to the work of Gerry Cunningham and keeping it alive.

    I will order a pair of your fishnets soon. In the mean time, here is a picture of a parka I made from a pattern in Gerry's other book, Lightweight camping equipment and how to make it.

    The parka is over 40 years old and has a few extra ventilation holes.

    It is made from Fairlane nylon, a type of taffeta that I believe Gerry recommended.

    Thanks also for providing reasonably priced fishnet underwear with the Gerry-approved size of holes. You are also keeping the work of Norwegian fishermen alive.

  8. wiggy’ sleeping bags are the BEST

    I have seven sons, all Eagle Scouts, and learned about Wiggy sleeping bags while camping in northern Idaho! One of my son’s bought a Wiggy’s Super Light and while he didn’t go camping with us that winter, I borrowed his Wiggy bag. Best night sleep ever!
    After that I have purchased more than 10 Wiggy’s bags for my family and never worry about sleeping comfortably any more.
    I tell all I can about Wiggy’s bags and the guarantee! Simply the best!!!
    Live in Logan Utah now

  9. Just MAKE THE SALE!

    In response to your recent commentary about the bottom line of most places, I was working in a sporting goods store in the 1970's. A guy came in, and said he needed a sleeping bag for a trip to Alaska. I told him we didn't have a bag that would work for him, and he should go to a local climbing shop. The thanked me and left. My boss just about fired me, because I wouldn't lie to a customer, we simply didn't have a bag that would protect him where he was going. I will not misrepresent (read lie) to a customer just to make a sale, I quit. So, this has been going on forever, and probably predates Wiggys, but we have come full circle. I won't use it if it doesn't have a Wiggys label and anybody dumb enough to listen to me knows never less than his 0-degree bag, Ideally the FTRSS version, and his pad.

    Regards, Jim

  10. olam jackets

    "Wiggy" might be interested to know that, after 45 years of faithful service through some really cold winters, I'm finally having to part with two of my all-time favorite winter outer garments - an Olam Outdoor Sports parka and an Olam vest (see attached photos). They are both still in great shape, the filament insulation has never shifted over the years, and the zippers still work well. But unfortunately, I have "grown" from the Medium size I was in my 20's when I purchased them in the 1970's in Morgantown, WV, to my now X-Large size in my retirement years back home in Colorado. And my retired 60-year-old torso just won't fit into those medium size garments any longer. But, I'll be dropping them both off at a Goodwill store soon so someone else who can fit into them will continue to get good use out of them. Olam made some great products "back in the day."

    Big fan,

    Dale
