A Soaked Wiggy's Bag That Dried Overnight

A TESTIMONIAL FROM A LONG TIME CUSTOMER; I.E. A FRIEND

Well it finally happened....after just short of 60 years of all kinds of camping I ended up with a wet sleeping bag. I've always been very careful to always have the bag in a waterproof cover of some sort but screwed up last weekend when camping with some friends.
The tent was a single wall Cabela's Outback Lodge that I usually have a Kelty Noah's Tarp over if it is going to rain. But I didn't and when it poured Sunday when we were away from camp everything in the tent got wet. Worse I didn't discover it until just before bed. So I moved into one of my friend's Adirondack shelters and slept on a cot.

Now I have heard that if a Wiggy's bag gets wet, and this was my pushing 20 year old Nautilus that's been washed 30+ times, if one climbed in the bag would warm up quickly and be dry by morning. So rather than digging out the wool blankets I keep in the truck I decided to try it figuring if it didn't I'd just go get the blankets.

Had on a t-shirt, underwear and socks, crawled into the wet bag and in a minute began to feel warm...fell right asleep as usual. Woke up a few hours later and got up to go to the bathroom to find that most of the bag was dry. When I got up in the morning the only part of the bag that wasn't dry was the area of the final foot or so of the zipper.

Monday when I got home put the bag in the washer with a cap full of SportWash. Then put it over the deck rail for about 2-3 hours and it was like new again.
