antarctic bag

Posted by

Thru-hiker and alpinist approved!

No one in their reviews gives a good relation to any bags size to the tester. I purchased a long wide Antarctic mummy bag and have found Wiggy's bags to be a reminder of what quality is and how a sleeping bag is designed to work. I am 6'0" tall and 135 lbs. The Antarctic bag has 4"-5" of extra space at the foot box if you are inside the hood and laid out on your back. I slept under the stars in Wyoming's Wind River Mountains at -10F with a brisk wind. Not only did I not feel the wind chill or the cold once. I was warm throughout the night and like no other bags my feet and toes were warm as well! I slept in my tent the first night and frost covered the bag, again, not once did the shell or insulation start to wet out. Really impressed with this bag and when you're zipped up it does not feel too large like most might think by looking at the bag’s measurements. I have feathered friends, mountain hardwear, first ascent sleeping bag and by far this Wiggy's Antarctic Mummy bag outperforms them all in comfort, value, warmth and weather resistance. I have had such a great experience with the bag; not to mention the free pillow, sleeping socks and compression sack that I purchased two more bags from Wiggy's. Looking forward to the two Ultra-Light Mummy bags coming. One regular/wide and the other regular/regular. Don't forget to watch the YouTube videos as they are unbiased and very educational. Thank you for such an eye-opening experience with the warmth of Lamilite and attention to quality in Wiggy’s products. All my best from the Rocky Mountains. -Chris.

Whenever I read a letter of this magnitude what I have to say goes to the background. It is users whose experience that is far more telling than what I say. Obviously, I say what I know, but I do not know it all since I do not get into the mountains any longer. So, it is customer reports that take center stage.

Chris, if your testimonial is fabulous for me to read. If the industry companies read my blog then I wonder how  feathered friends [I know peter from years ago when he bought my bags for his rental program], mountain hardwear [I knew the original owners who sold to Columbia], and first ascent is lost.

Sales of the Antarctic have soared the past 3 years so I can only believe more and more are venturing into the snow country. That I know is where this bag shines.

Wiggy’s will close for Christmas day, which as you know is on a Wednesday and we will also be closed Thursday and Friday. We open on Monday and will only be closed on Wednesday New Years Day, and open Thursday and Friday that week.

I will be in the office Thursday and Friday after Christmas.

Chris letter when I read it this morning made my day
