The T-Shirt Test for a Real Winter Parka
FIRST, THE EMAIL:
Just finished writing a testimonial for your Antarctic parka. I meant every word and tried to be descriptive. Like a lot of people now, I have come to rely on product reviews before purchasing. Sometimes reviewers say something in particular that will really bring something to light, something I hadn’t even thought of before.
Thanks for making a top notch quality Antarctic Parka.

NOW, THE TESTIMONIAL:
No Need to Layer When Wearing the Antarctic Parka
To me the true test of a parka is wearing only a t-shirt under it. If you can go outside in the bitter cold without layering and stand in one place, maybe watching your kid’s hockey game or the dogs playing in the backyard, just you and the parka. If that parka can then keep you warm without any help at all from added sweatshirts, or sweaters of any kind then that is a well-insulated, well-made parka.
That is exactly what this parka is capable of. Keep in mind that I am 5’11”, 180 lbs. with a thin build, no gut. I bought this parka at least 10 years ago (today is March 30, 2021) and in all honesty, I have to be careful when I wear it. Meaning I have to wear it only in very cold temps here in Michigan. It works great when I have to use the snowblower to carve out my driveway. I usually have to unzip a few inches in order to let heat out. No joke.
The pockets are spacious both inside and out. You can store anything you need, no problem.
Lastly, kudos to Wiggys for making a quality product that is made in the United States of America! That is what this country is all about.

The blue bags are actually Super Lights with the boat foot design. The black bags are Ultima Thules.
One thing the girls did that was a surprise is to have a thermometer in the bags demonstrating how quickly the heat build-up took effect. The short time that it takes for heat to build up in the bag is an indication of how well the insulation works.
The faster the heat build up, the slower the body metabolizes your food. The slower that happens, the longer your food will last in your stomach. Because you are warm.
I am constantly surprised about the lengths some people will go to to test my products. I never thought about taking a thermometer into the bag to note the internal temperature of the bag.
I offer many thanks to the girls for the video.
