travel the world with your wiggy's bag
WIGGY’S BAGS GO AROUND THE WORLDJerry & Kok,I have been using your products for over 30 years, primarily sleeping bags. When I initially started long backpacking trips, I like everyone else thought lighter was better and Down “ruled”. In the west in mild temps, 20-45*, it worked OK. In the southeast even at 40*, a 10-20* bag [...]
A BIG THANK YOU

wiggy's birthday
THE DAY WIGGY’S STARTEDSeptember 6, 1988 was the first day that Wiggy’s opened its doors in Grand Junction, Colorado. Tomorrow will be the first day of our 32nd year in business.

several testimonials
