242. Mountain Homes Youth Ranch Thanks you!

     Jerry,
     
     My name is Mike Fyten. I work for Mountain Homes Youth Ranch in Vernal, UT. I have been with them for 2 years now.
     
     I walked in to your factory/showroom in late 2007 and talked with you about needing a better sleeping system. I was using a commercial bag (Sierra Designs) rated to -10 and was always cold. Up on the Roan where we camp it gets down to -20 to -30 in the winter. You mentioned to me that Francis from MHYR had been in contact with you to purchase Wiggy's bags for the program.
     
     I bought an FTRSS. It is a Super Light with the overbag. I use it 16 days a month, every month for over a year now. I wash it, I use it at work and at play in the Colorado mountains, and it is BY FAR the best sleeping bag I have ever owned. It is showing no wear, no torn seams, no problems at all. It washed and comes back to perfect condition every wash.
     
     The youth and adults in our program use the FTRSS at the -60 rating I believe. They perform awesome all the time. The students in camp are always warm, no zipper failures, no problems at all.
     
     Thank you for a superior product. I will own a Wiggy's for the rest of my life. I am wanting to upgrade just a touch and possibly get an Ultima Thule to use with my overbag for a bit more cold weather protection. I am also very intersted in your bivy shelter.
     
     Regards,

243. Temps went down to -40 & boots performed beyond my expectations

     I think I may have told you, but I was quite impressed by your Pack Boots whichI used up north of Fairbanks the first week of last December. Temps went down to -40 at night and the high during the day for a couple of days was -22. The boots performed beyond my expectations. Less than half the weight of my Cabelas Trans Alaskans. I was up at Chena and spent about 3 hours at night on a ridge watching (a pale version of) the Lights. Everyone else that came up on the Snow Cat spent most of the time in the Yert because their feet were cold in Bunny and assorted Pack Boots. I spent most of my time outside (what I came up there for) just standing around and quite comfortable with toasty toes.
     
     I also did quite a bit of time hiking around during the nights and (very short) days with my camera. What was most amazing was that even after prolonged times hiking around, when I took the boots off, the booties were not wet, damp, or require drying. A few very few small wet spots on the nylon where it came into contact with the rubber at the front of the boot (which dried in minutes), but the insulation was bone dry. Quite an advance over felt and foil/felt I've used in the past. If I want more ankle support, I'll use your Lamilite booties inside my Cabela's boots, but won't have as much toe wiggle-room, so less loft.

244. check one more thing off my Winter Camping Checklist. WARM SLEEP SYSTEM – Check !

     I'm certain you get sick of hearing this but, what a great sleeping bag! I have just spent last weekend in the bag here North of Chicago. Temps went down to 11F and I was almost too warm. Off came the hat and socks and I may even consider altering my sleeping clothes. As an old “by the book” Winter camper (and Winter Camping Trainer), before bed, I strip off ALL of the day’s cloths and put on fresh, dry, cold stuff. So by the time you jump into your bag, your shivering. Years past, I’ve had to pull up into a ball to get myself warm and wait 15-30 minutes. In my Wiggy, I slipped into the bag and by the time I fully adjusted the hood cords, I was already getting warm. From that point, I could just lay flat in amazement. I honestly caught myself laying there grinning; I’m serious! Also, the typical cold back and bottom just wasn’t there. Now I was on top of snow and 2- thermo-rests, but that isn’t new for me for winter camping and I have always had a cooler back.
     
     I went with the wider size and very glad I did. Now I can load it up with tomorrow’s base layer of clothes in a pillow case and I have a warmer start to my frigid AM. I’m even going to try to get my boot liners in there somewhere. As I understand it, I really don’t have to worry if they’re damp because they’ll still dry out in the bag yet won’t make me cold at night. That’ll be a treat I’ve never had before.
     
     This next weekend may be a bit more of a challenge; I hear the temps could drop below 0 but I’ll bet I’ll have no issues. So many in my camping groups ask me “How’s the Wiggy?” I think everyone is tired of sleeping cold but just didn’t know there was a true option outside of a bag in a bag in a bag and all the issues that go with that; too hot, sweat then get cold, can’t vent, uneven temps, sliding bags, where are all the zippers, etc.
     
     Super great job guys! You have finally enabled me to check one more thing off my Winter Camping Checklist. WARM SLEEP SYSTEM – Check !

245. Your bags are excellent

     I don't usually write to manufacturers, but your products are so great I felt compelled to!
     
     I love wiggy's sleeping bags. I have three - the overbag, ultralight, and ultimate thule...
     
     Your bags are excellent - and even better by being washable.
     
     I think you are doing yourselves a disservice by underrating your bags. I have consistently found that the overbag is good down to about 20 degrees, a good 15 degrees under its rating of 35. The ultralight, which is rated for 20, I have consistently found good to about 0... And the thule, well, it hasn't gotten cold enough the last two winters to use it. It is simply that warm!!! Instead I have been using the ultralight with the overbag for down to about -25 (the coldest its gotten around here in a long time) and could have gone much colder, the two of them pack up with less mass than the thule (winter = backpacking, so smaller footprints are better). The few times I've tried the thule, it was just too warm - at least I'm ready for serious cold if we ever get that kind of weather again.
     
     I have been using and abusing my bags extensively over the last two years, activities ranging from canoing/kayak camping, backpacking, winter camping, etc.etc. I typically get out every weekend in the summer, and at least two weekends a month in the winter. The bags are routinely stuffed into compression bags, and are not always in the best environments (damp, rainy, muddy, etc.). They have never let me down, even when wet. In fact, these are the only bags I know of that work even when soaked through - just wring the water out and go to sleep, everything's dry in the morning! They have handled my use quite well, even compressed every weekend, the loft always seems to be like new after a few minutes. They hardly show any wear and tear, which I still can't believe.
     
     I highly recommend wiggy's bags to everyone I know. They just can't be beat!!!

246. Desert Bag Cocoon

     Received the Desert bag yesterday. Thanks for the great service.
     I spent the night outside in my net survival hammock with my new bag zipped snugly around the outside like is my want (I was very pleased to find the bag had a draw string to make the bag more cocoon like. Maybe you should put that in the description). The temperature hovered around 59 degrees and I kept the draw string loose so as not to overheat. It turned misty and breezy around 1:30 a.m. and the dripping woke me. At one point the outside of the bag was totally covered with droplets but the inside stayed warm and dry and I never did get to close the bag tightly. Next week it's supposed to get 26 degrees here. I hope to test again then, maybe with a tarp-tent and longjohns.
     
     P.S. My brother, Steve Vandervelde, brought a pair of your leggings some years back and thay are so warm he hardly gets to wear them, here in South Carolina, even though he works outside almost every day.

247. True Quality

     Hi Jerry,
     
     Just wanted to say thanks for exchanging the vest for me. I really like the new camo design, and even though I am sure that you hear this all the time, I also wanted to say what a quality product this is! Everything from the zipper to the stitching to the snaps reveals the care that went into this product, and I am sure that I will get many years of service from it.
     
     My list of Wiggy's products continues to grow at a steady rate, and I am thoroughly pleased with all of them. Thanks for making a product that does what it claims!
     
     Best wishes for the holiday season!

248. FTRSS Bags work in any condition

     Dear Wiggy's -
     
     I just wanted to thank you for making an incredible product. I have been using your FTRSS for about five years now - everywhere from the middle of a howling 18-hour storm in the mountains of Canada's Jasper national park to a backwoods cabin in Alaska to high atop the Coloradan continental divide in December - and have yet to find a location or experience where your sleeping bags cried for mercy before I did. So thank you, for making a product that is both comfortable and life-saving.
     
     Thanks so much for your help and again for your incredible products.

249. Hunter Super Light Passes the Test

     Hi Jerry-
     
     I used my Hunter Super Light (with Hood) for the first time in really chilly weather this weekend here in Michigan. Our Scout troop had a scheduled tent camping weekend at our Scout camp. We normally have temps into the 30’s at night this time of year. Saturday night it got down to about 10 degrees.
     
     My Hunter Super Light kept me warm throughout the night. Not a bit chilly. I’ve used my bag in cool weather before, but usually open it up and use it as a quilt. Ten degrees calls for in the bag, zipped up.
     
     Thanks for keeping this old Scoutmaster warm!

250. I Survived... Thanks to Wiggy's

     I am a member of the United States Air Force and recently went to survival training in the winter where I learned to survive in quite cold weather conditions. Crucial to my survival was a Wiggy's bag. I was nestled in a hole that I dug into a rather large snow drift and slept well, and was amazed at how warm I was in the sleeping bag. I thought for sure I was going to get very little sleep because of the extreme cold but slept very well in your bag. I have never been so warm in a sleeping bag and decided I must purchase one of my own. assistance.
