How Wiggy's Was Born

IT NEVER GETS OLD

I want to send you a huge thank you for keeping me warm and certainly more comfortable than the people who have been around me for at least thirty years.

I've spent countless warm and enjoyable sleeps in my Wiggy's sleeping bag, and many productive days while working in less than ideal conditions while dressed in your products.

From warm feet to warm and dry body your products are awesome.

There must be 30 pieces of Wiggy's gear in my Wiggy's closet they have all lived up to their respective functions without one stitch, zipper, fabric, or design malfunction. After been well used and sometimes on the verge of being abused everything still looks and performs as new.

I want to wish you family and staff all the best the holiday season has to offer.
Kindest regards
Paul

It really never does get old getting letters such as this from my customers.

When I learned about the various constructions and resin to fiber blends in the 1960’s when I started working in the textile industry I was able to guide the manufacturers with the best fiberfill insulations to use for their outerwear garments. For some it was quilted batting and for most of the skiwear manufacturers it was what was referred to as “self-supported batting”. The results of my efforts were that I became the largest supplier of insulations to the skiwear industry in the country. Keep in mind that the men I was dealing with had been in business for many years before I entered the business and for the most part were of my father’s age group. They embraced new developments that actually worked.

In the late 1960's the outdoor industry developed with my generation and I had at this point developed the use of the continuous filament fiberfill trade named Polar Guard as a laminated product. The companies of the time chose to quilt it instead, which is detrimental to its performance capability. The only thing I could do if I wanted to sell my insulation product was to become the end item producer. Wiggy's was born basically while I was languishing on my boat in the Bahamas.
