reviews versus testimonials, are they different?
REVIEWSI’m a complete nerd for writing this but Wiggy sells THE best sleeping bags on the market. They happen to sell for very reasonable prices and you'll love saying "Wiggy" when you people ask about your purchase. Yes, it’s better than North Face, Kelty, REI, and LaFuma combined.
