Description

The Wiggy's Single Person Bivy Shelter (Mummy) is a one-person shelter with a pop-up hood, built for the military and trusted by hunters. Choose it insulated or non-insulated, with no separate fly needed.

  • Weather resistant, breathable shell. DUCKSBACK fabric sheds general rain and snow while staying vapor permeable.
  • Warmer with your bag. Used with any Wiggy's bag, expect about 20° lower than the bag's rating. The insulated version works alone in mild weather, +45°F and up.
  • Lamilite L-6 option. The insulated version adds Lamilite L-6 over the chest section.
  • Complete kit. Easton aluminum shock corded pole, mosquito netting, steel stakes, and a built-in 12 x 15 in stuff sack. The hood stands 24 in high and it weighs 2.5 lbs.

Our founder, Jerry Wigutow, first built it for the Mazama climbing club. The Marines tested it in Norway and the Air Force helped refine it over three years.

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.
Wiggy's Lamilite: one continuous layerNo stitching through the insulation. No cold spots.
