power fill b/s!
POWER FILL SAMPLES HAVE ARRIVEDI have to believe there is money to be made selling insulating materials to companies that make outerwear.

CONTINUOUS FILAMENT FIBERFILL 100 YEARS FROM NOWIt is my educated opinion and belief that in 100 years and more continuous filament fiberfill will not only still be used as insulation for sleeping bags and apparel because there is nothing that can perform as it does! Therefore, it will not be replaced. (It has been here for 60 years already).This [...]

WATER AND WIGGY’S BAGSWiggy,Several years back there was a u-tube video where a guy tested your bag by getting cold soaking wet and then spent the night in one of your bags and awakened warm and dry.
