Description

The Wiggy's DUCKSBACK Barren Grounds Parka is an L-6 Lamilite insulated jacket for hunters, photographers, and hikers. Named for Alaska's barren grounds, it sheds water and lets sweat vapor escape.

  • Sheds water. DUCKSBACK is the most water resistant non-coated, non-laminated fabric we know of. Water runs off like a duck's back.
  • Breathes. Completely vapor permeable, so moisture moves out through every layer.
  • Just right warmth. L-6 Lamilite for steady temperature regulation.
  • Field features. High collar, non-slip rubberized shoulders, LenZip full length zipper with snapping wind flap, adjustable cuffs, waist draw cord.

Two large snap cargo pockets with side entry hand warmers, plus an inside cell phone pocket. Machine washable and dryable. For best results, wear a loose fishnet top as your first layer and loose, non-coated layers over it.

Questions

DUCKSBACK Barren Grounds Parka FAQ

Is the Barren Grounds Parka waterproof?

The DUCKSBACK fabric is very water resistant without a coating. Water runs off it like water off a duck's back.

What should I wear under it?

A loose fishnet top as your first layer, then loose, non-coated layers, so vapor can move out through the jacket.

Can I wash it?

Yes. It is completely machine washable and dryable.

What's the difference from the Antarctic Parka?

The Barren Grounds uses L-6 Lamilite for temperature regulation. The Antarctic Parka uses L-12 Lamilite and has been used as low as -80°F.

What every Wiggy's has in common

One insulation. Everything we make.

Most bags stitch right through their insulation. Every seam is a cold spot. Wiggy's Lamilite is one continuous layer with nothing stitched through it. It breathes, keeps working when it gets damp, and dries fast.

  • For families: no cold spots, so everyone sleeps warm.
  • In the field: keeps insulating when it's wet.
  • For programs: in service for decades, not seasons.
  • At the edge of the map: rated to -60°F.
Why Lamilite works
Most bags: stitched throughEvery seam pinches the insulation flat. That's where the cold gets in.
