I ordered this jacket liner in conjunction with Wiggy's fishnet underwear. Something that I love about it is it's striking resemblance to the Russian Telogreika! It's gotten me all kinds of flack for being ugly, but something I've never had an issue with is being cold! I had the chance to use this liner on several cold days in Houston Texas, and where it excels is its ability to keep you warm during activity. It's style makes it an excellent layering piece, and has added some much needed comfort to what would typically be quite chilly.
I've used it comfortably to conditions down to about 30 to 40 degrees Farenheight as a standalone sweater. Layering it under my smock, its kept me comfortable down to 20 while being stationary. Interestlingly enough however, once I start doing some long distance hiking, this liner was actually too warm and had to eventually be removed. For the price, this liner cant be beat for a stowaway insulating layer.
It has suffered from some fraying every now and again, but since it's purpose is as a jacket liner, its not an issue. None of such has impacted it's insulating abilities whatsoever. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this product, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a function over fashion insulating piece.

This is an outstanding modernized replacement for the M-65 field jacket liner, as another reviewer mentioned. Thin, lightweight, and breathable, with an awesome zipper that you will not break. I have both the jacket and vest, and have found them to be perfect for use under a hard shell jacket or rain coat, or by themselves. The only downside, if you can call it that, is that there are no pockets. I have washed them several times already with no ill effects - not something you can say about down or the so-called synthetic down that is currently prevalent in outerwear.

I ordered the Jacket and vest and when I received them they were so light and thin I thought Wiggy's had forgot to put in the insulation! I called Jerry and asked him about this, Jerry just chuckled and said this " The insulation is in there but is very light and warm" he said. I told him I would give it a try and let him know. Well I went camping in the Rockies this last January and it was about 30 degrees and that thin jacket kept me warm!!! Later when it got a little colder I put the vest under the jacket, and to my utter amazement kept me warm enough for me to do camp chores at about 10 degrees! What a wonderful set, Jacket and vest! Thanks Jerry. PS my first item I ever bought fro Jerry was his 2 later sleeping rated for -30 or something like that. All I know is that I have been using that sleeping bag for over 12 years and it is the single best item I have ever bought. I have slept in it while I was on a Hunting trip in Alaska and only had a Ground mat and the Wiggy's bag. That night it snowed on us and we were covered in about 4" of snow to which I slept as if I was home. My friend who had bought a very expensive North Face down bag almost froze to death, he ended up covering himself up with a tarp but now his bag was wet! Yikes. The next morning I awoke dry and warm, and after about 30 minutes of hanging time my bag was completely dry, needless to say my friends bag wa soaked and took all day to dry out!!!!!!!!!! So my advice is always by Wiggy's..... Again.... Thanks Jerry. PS Jerry I posted another bag testimonial about 4 years ago on the same bag.

My favorite jacket: I wear it on its own around the house, or as I liner when it's cold out.
Great for running in, too; very breathable.
The price is right, too.

Having a Wiggy's sleeping bag I found quality when I used it. Seeing the liner available & knowing it also would be made with quality, I thought I'd give it a try under my leather motorcycle jacket. It has been great because it is not bulky and keeps me toasty. I have not been using my electrically heat gear because of the Wiggy's liner unless it is downright cold outside. Keep up the good work!

These liner jackets are great lightweight jackets. I am impressed with how warm they are for as light as they are. Very packable. I've come back for more after getting my first one. I find they run a little large so don't go up over your regular size. Large fits me over a sweatshirt, and I got a medium to put in my motorcycle saddle bags for summer. Over just a T-shirt the Med fits good. I usually wear a large sweatshirt. Lightweight, warm, comfortable, inexpensive. Great light jacket.

Just received my jacket liner, and I've got to say it's perfect. Light weight, but warm, and will be excellent for layering. It's a huge improvement on the field jacket liner that was my favorite piece of gear When I served in the Army.
Thanks Wiggy, another great product.
(I also have the summer weight sleeping bag, and the military sleeping bag, both excellent).
The best part is, when I call, Wiggy answers the phone himself!

At 6-5" and 340# it's tough to find true sized garments. I bought this "under jacket " thing because I know Wiggy's makes excellent products and the price was right. Finally here in north TX it's kinda chilly out this fall and I gotta say this thing fits perfectly, is very light, but warm too.
I bought one for my wife (small) and my son too.!!
Thanks for a fantastic product at a great price and best of all / true to size..!!

Dear Sirs:
I purchased a jacket liner several months ago. It has become one of my most used Wiggy's products. The liner is just right for inside the house. I do a lot of work at the computer. The long cuffs are perfect, keeping the thicker sleeves away from my wrists. My fleece would bunch around my wrist, causing pain after hours of work. I also like the fact that there is no collar, so there is nothing to push against my neck while seated and working on the computer. The liner does work well as a liner when outside, but people who work at a computer will also appreciate the jacket liner.
