231. near 100% humidity and still warm and dry.

     Dear Wiggys,
     
     I was never sure about the claim that your insulation keeps you warm when wet. On my last deployment we encountered a night with near 100% humidity. Heavy fog. While others complained that their bag got wet and soaked through into the bag and they got cold and wet, I never did. I stayed warm and dry without a tent or tarp to sleep under. I am a firm believer in Wiggys bags. Thanks for a great product.

232. Nautilus holds up to night long rains

     Well Wiggy.
     
     The rainy season has hit here hard and I had the pleasure of FINALLY sleeping in your Nautilus for 4 nights straight at temps from around 52 to 72 with all night long rains.
     
     I ordered the black and green knowing that I could place the black side up for absorbing the heat from the sun, expediting the dry out process.
     
     When I first contacted you about another bag you recommended the Nautilus due to my large stature and the rainforest environment.
     
     You have a story where you used this bag....and designed it.....specifically for when you lived on a boat in the Bahamas, years ago.
     
     I only have one suggestion.
     Name it the Jungle bag because it is the only thing that will work properly in a rainforest.
     
     I also killed a couple of my hogs the other day and thank God I had your Armadillo gloves on. What a grip !
     Pura Vida ! From the Oasis of the Toucans at Lake Arenal, Costa Rica.
     
     Thank you for making great "tools". I guide tours in the rainforest so only the best "tools" in the world will suit me.You got 'em !
     
     Thank you for being #1.
     Only REAL Americans put quality over profit.
     That would be you.
     
     Take care.

233. none compare to the overall comfort, reliability and performance of the sleeping bags you have

     Dear Wiggy;
     
     I began with one of your overbags nearly ten years ago when I first began camping extensively. Since then I’ve slept approximately 1,000 nights in a sleeping bag...the majority in one of your models (either my original Overbag or Super Light or in combination). I say the majority because I always have to compare your bags to the “latest and greatest”. I’ve slept in everything from extremely high dollar 850+ fill down bags to the latest and greatest synthetic fills. This past year I have stopped my quest for the best sleeping bag because I found it some ten years ago. There are lighter bags, there are more compressible bags, but none compare to the overall comfort, reliability and performance of the sleeping bags you have out there. The key items, in my opinion, to Wiggy’s sleeping bags are Lamilite® insulation, quality construction and no. 10 YKK zippers. If you skimp on any of these items you’re just another sleeping bag.
     
     Thanks for the outstanding product,

     – Matt Furlong

234. your bag...it's like they have a thermostat

     I have to say I love your sleeping bags! I now own three of them an overbag, a light 20, and your 0 bag! I have worked at a major outdoor chain for five years sold all the brands and I have been camping hiking and backpacking for 25 years! Two bags I purchased through cabelas and since they do not offer them now I have bought my 20 degree bag and mattress pad from you directly! It really is true you can leave your bag In a pack ready to go and it maintains loft. In addition I can crawl in your bags and it's like they have a thermostat I am never too hot or cold! My friends sleep out in other bags and freeze or sweat! They are never comfortable. Your bags are made in the USA and are superior in costruction! They are with your discount online within everyone's price considering next to or even before your knife a good sleeping bag is paramount. Honestly feeling the difference your bag could save my life in conditions where others would fail. Let's just say if I fell in a creek and had to crawl into my bag to re-warm it would be my prayer it was yours!
     
     My next purchase will probably be a wiggys single wall water bottle and hat. It's a lie gear cannot be made in America at a reasonable price and us make livable wages! Your products are better, made in the +USA and are unequaled! They are better then major brand bags made
     overseas costing as much or more!

235. the best sleeping bag I have ever used in my life

     I just wanted to let you all know, I am currently in the middle east serving with a unit, we were issued your sleeping bags and I have got to tell you that in all my years of the military and hunting and camping this is the best sleeping bag I have ever used in my life, I hope to be able to get some of them, I have three kids back home who love to hunt, fish and camp just like me, even the few times I have had the opportunity to sleep on a mattress with sheets over here I put my bag on top of the bed and sleep in it. You have a very good product. As you are a good Colorado neighbor, I’m from Kansas, I have a friend who is taking me Elk and Antelope hunting when I get back, what bag would you recomend, and temp rating, that would still be useable in Kansas when we get back, Thanks and keep up the good work. So far I haven’t found anyone who doesn’t like your bag.

236. 3 Piece Army Issued bag - I want another

     Hi my name is Dustin. I am looking to get another Wiggys sleeping bag. I want the same model that the Army national guard unit issued me., I don't know what model it was. All I know it was black with no outter shell, Unlike the crap sleeping bag they issued me when I went to Iraq. Yeah they made me turn in my great Wiggy sleeping bag that I loved, for a 3 piece sleeping bag system "CRAP" that didn't even fit me. I shouldn't have ever of turned in my Wiggys. BIG MISTAKE.
     
     I first was issued that sleeping bag in 1997, They issued that sleeping bag to me because I'am taller then 6'2.lucky me. I had many years service with it, with out failure. Very quality product that gave me great sleep in the coldest nights and the hottest nights. Unlike like the 3 piece system I had in Iraq.
     The Army National Guard unit that you sold this sleeping bag to was the 142nd Engineers. Out of Camp Ripley Minnesota. So if you could figure out what system you sold them, that would help me out greatly. You have so many to choose from. I just want to make sure I get the right one.
     
     Thank You,

     – Dustin

237. 3-bag sleeping bag system - Impressive

     Dear Jerry,
     
     I first heard of the Wiggy’s Bag about 15 years ago when I was stationed in Alaska with the Army. I was the commander and the light reconnaissance unit was required to perform Airborne operations and then spend days in the cold observing on the enemy. As you can imagine, the old adage “travel light; freeze at night” that is known to all Paratroopers the world over, meaning, they have to travel light so they take the minimum amount of cold weather gear and just suck it up at night, does not work in the cold, Arctic conditions of Alaska or Afghanistan.
     
     Our Science Officer for our unit said he found a sleeping bag company that claimed to make a 3-bag system that could be tailored for our operations in the desert or in the Arctic and was very light and compressed to a much smaller size than the current Army Cold weather Sleeping bag system. After reading the marketing material, I decided I would test a bag personally. If it worked for me, I felt confident my Troops would like the bag.
     
     I received the bag and waited a few days until the predicted temperatures were well below minus 40 Fahrenheit, which also equals minus 40 Celsius. I went to the field with my Troops and the temperature during the day was a “nippy” minus 60 F. The first evening, I recorded the temperature at minus 64 F, laid out the Wiggy’s Sleeping Pad, laid out the 3-bag sleeping bag system, climbed into the bag with no shelter around me or heating source and stripped down to my long johns for the night.
     
     I knew right away that this was a different bag than any I had ever used (I had been in the Army for over 16 years at that point and had been camping as a Boy Scout for a long time prior to my Army career) as I quickly got the bag warmed up by just moving around to strip down inside the bag. I settled down and within minutes I was asleep. Normally, with the Army Sleeping bag, I would have woken up a few minutes later from my feet being cold. Instead, I slept for 3 solid hours until it was time for me to get up and go back to work. I was so surprised I had to check my thermometer to see if the temperature had risen during the night. It was still minus 64 F and I was comfortable in the bag. I got dressed in the bag and got out, rolled up the bag and put it in the bottom compartment of my rucksack without a problem. I talked about this bag all day the next day. That next evening, with the temperatures again at minus 64 F, I settled down for another comfortable nap without getting cold again. I was sold and immediately grabbed my Supply Officer and told him to order enough for our Reconnaissance group. After the field problem, I went to my Commanding General and requested an order for the entire unit as soon as possible. It took a couple of years to outfit everyone but every one of my Soldiers said it was the best bag they ever used.
     
     This was over 14 years ago and I have stayed in touch with Jerry Wigutow since then. If ever there was an American who truly took care of the Troops and understood what they need in combat, it is Jerry. I always recommend his bags and equipment to my friends in the military and friends who spend any time in the outdoors. There is no finer equipment, company or person than Jerry Wigutow and the Wiggy’s Company.
     
     Jerry, thanks for all you do for our great country!

238. Superlight performed splendidly

     Hello
     
     I Used your Superlight bag for an overnight hike 2 weeks ago in Massachusetts. We slept in a Lean-To on the AT, the overnight temp was about 10deg F. There was about a 15 mph wind for half the night blowing into the lean-to at times. The Superlight performed splendidly, I was very warm and comfortable sleeping without any clothing. This bag is excellent and I am thrilled to be able to purchase an American manufactured product for my purpose. I have managed to stay employed as a Toolmaker for 30 years and what has happened to American Manufacturing is truly a crime. I buy American whenever possible but the number of choices available in Sleeping Bags and Outdoor Clothing is quite limited. I'm really happy I discovered Wiggy's and am looking forward to trying the Lamilite Booties I ordered on the next trip.
     
     Thanks Much

239. Wiggy's bag is still as good as it was the day I bought it

     Dear Sir
     
     I am currently engaged in a solo circumnavigation of the 48 contiguous states by canoe. I have so far rowed my canoe from Corpus Christi, Texas, along the Gulf Coast to Key West, up the East Coast to the Canadian Border and across northern New England to Upstate New York.
     
     I have dedicated my trip to America's Heroes and all my equipment is made in the USA. I only do this during the summer months. I have been at it since 2002.
     
     My first season, I used an old army surplus down sleeping bag. It was heavy bulky, and useless when it got wet.
     
     Then I ordered a Wiggy's component system through a military catalogue. It may have been Brigade Quartermaster's. I don't remember.
     
     That Wiggy's bag has been with me for six years now. I spend three to six months every year sleeping on the ground. I do a lot of camping even when I am not on my canoe trip.
     
     I have camped from more than 100 ft. below sea level in death Valley and along the Salton Sea to 10,000 ft above sea level in Colorado Rockies and the San Bernadino mountains in the winter.
     
     I have slept in swamps deserts and the deep woods.
     
     In the past six years I have probably used my bag more than the average person will use one in two lifetimes. My Wiggy's bag is still as good as it was the day I bought it.
     
     I have only one problem. I loaned my pillow to someone who was taking a long airplane ride and she left it on the plane. I checked your online catalog and You don't have the pillows listed in your accessories is there any way that I can buy one.

240. what a lifesaver my ultralight bag was

     Hello Wiggy,
     
     First of all I wanted to say what a lifesaver my ultralight bag was. Who would have thought that first season elk would be so cold? It was +16 degrees at 2pm on Sunday afternoon, and my Wiggy's bag was the only place that I could warm up (besides warming up in the car and cranking the heater).
     
     I'm a "Native Angeleno" and the fact that I slept comfortably and warm on our hunt is a testament to what a great sleeping bag you folks have.
     
     Many Thanks,

     – Cliff Shelby, Castle Rock, Colorado
