POSSIBLY THE BEST TESTIMONIAL ABOUT FISHNETS

Wiggy:

The fishnets are unbelievable. Unfortunately, I became stuck in my 4x4 truck when the high for the day was 6F. (Don't ask, I shouldn't have tried what I was doing) I was outside in the elements for 7 hours trying to get my truck out of the snow. I almost always get cold, especially my long skinny legs. I should have listened to you sooner and purchased the fishnets a long time ago. I have read the science about the fishnets that you have provided, but I think you should just say they are "magic." It couldn't be any worse than what the other big names are saying about their products (the ones that don't work as advertised). Make sure you tell anyone who is having doubts about purchasing this ultimate base layer that they are magic, that they do work, and that I was warm, comfortable, and especially confident in Wiggy's fishnets.

On a side note, I have been running in my fishnets. I run about 50-60 miles per week regardless of weather. I hope you see a small blip in orders because I have told my entire running community about these. I usually get SO COLD from the sweat and soaking wet clothes during and especially after a run. I've noticed that I don't get the post run chills when I use your fishnets. Again, magic.

Thanks for keeping it real,

“Magic”, wouldn’t it be nice. Obviously it is not magic as to why the fishnets perform as they do. Simply put when moisture as a vapor comes out of our pores and is unrestricted in its movement away from the pores from where it came so it cannot condense on our skin surface there is no chance of us getting a chill.

Last week we had maybe 5 inches of snow and I live on an old farm with about 8 or 9 acres and twice daily I walk Cookie around the perimeter for exercise for both of us. I noted even with a small amount of snow I was working harder to walk. It brought back memories of walking through waist high snow when I was lost. We exert much more energy when we are dealing with snow conditions, so I can understand what JT was experiencing. The difference was I was wearing fishnets so I knew I would not get a chill or cold, he had to learn that.

I would have expected he knew that since he wears the fishnets when he runs, better late than never.

Historically the fishnet underwear was a creation by a Captain in the Norwegian military in 1932 or 3 and he called them string underwear. At some point years later a Norwegian company Brinji started making them as far as I know. Today as far as I know ALL of the Scandinavian military is issued fishnet long underwear. In the early 90’s I sold several dozen of my ultima Thule sleeping bags to the U.S. Marine Corps that were sent to a base in Norway for February training exercises. Recently a retired Marine told me when he was sent there for training the Norwegian military gave him fishnets to wear. He now owns Wiggy’s fishnets.

At this time the powers to be who decide what the American soldier will wear have no interest in fishnets even though they are working on new field uniforms for arctic regions of the world. It is irrelevant the preponderance of factual information that exists they will not consider fishnets. This also holds true for those involved in the mountaineer’s world. Of course these same mountaineer’s will only use down sleeping bags and down clothing regardless of how much ice builds up in these items.

As for the companies some that I have mentioned and those not known will continually spout that there base-layer underwear close knit will allow for the moisture to wick away from you. They refuse to accept that close knit synthetics do not wick any liquid!! Those that use wool merino type or otherwise refuse to accept that the wool does in fact absorb (wicking action) but gives the same end result as cotton, which is to not get rid of the moisture, so you get a chill. The difference is the wool fiber does not collapse as cotton does, so it will actually hold even more water. However, there garments are for show only at the bars. There garments are for show not for technical use much as they advertise they are for the technical purposes. The outdoor industry has been entering the fashion world for years and now they are full-fledged fashion marketing firms. They have I believe even influenced the military thinking that the soldier has to actually look good going into battle.

I am sure the old timers alive and dead would laugh at how the industry has changed, but then again they didn’t sell out to conglomerates that were run by men who only thought about the bottom line profits. And if that means going away from function to fashion that is what you do or you walk.

I deal in reality, “A=A” ; if you truly want to stay warm in cold weather conditions fishnet underwear is absolutely the best base layer you can wear; it is not necessary to take my word for it, but the words of my customers. They represent my true testing laboratory, then again I would not ever put on the market a product that I personally never used, and that will be the case so long as I am able to get out into the field.Of course you should also be wearing Lamilite insulated clothing over the fishnets.
