Nose wipe built in. A large square of pile on the back of the palm.
Warm when damp. Lamilite keeps insulating when it gets damp and dries fast.

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.
