ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER; INTERESTING TESTING OF A WIGGY BAG
Dear Wiggys,
Hopefully my experience with one of your sleeping bags will help those who are deciding to get one. For the record this bag is not my first purchase from your company. Anyway, one day I was curious to test your bag in an unconventional way. Directly after taking a hot shower, I climbed in my Wiggys bag and zipped it all the way up. Knowing that I was in my living room, I was expecting to overheat and get sweaty. I experienced quite the contrary. Within minutes (yes minutes) I was dry and comfortably warm. The moisture transfer of this bag is amazing. Not only was my body temp regulated but I exited my bag completely dry. In comparison, I have a similarly rated NF bag (by temp) and in mild temps - low 40's - sleeping in a tent I become sweaty. Your bag makes all the difference in the world. I am so glad to have come across you and your company. Now my son wants one of you bags too!
Thanks!

Numerous people have tested my sleeping bags a variety of ways, and this is the most original. All up until now have done their testing in the great outdoors but never in their home as Jim did. The only information he left out is the specific bag used, as well as the NF bag model.
Jim if you receive these commentary emails please let me know the bag. However thank you regardless for your test report.
I find it interesting so many tests my sleeping bags and report their results which I always enjoy sharing with others. Since I have never seen anything of this nature come from other sleeping bag brands, I guess the testers do not have good results. Certainly doing this with any down bag to include the water repellent treated down bags would certainly not have the same result. Nor would you have the same result if the bag were stuffed with any chopped staple fiberfill.
Here we have one more attribute of the Lamilite/Climashield that further sets it apart from the rest of the materials used as insulation.
Keep in mind that this same action happens when you are wearing a Lamilite/Climashield insulated parka, all of the perspiration gets out as easily, so you stay warm and dry something others talk about but never accomplish. With the other insulations you stay wet and therefore cold.
