"The Very Best sleeping bag you will ever purchase. I bought a Wiggy's bag in 1990. I have slept in it over a hundred nights. Never had cold feet. Always warm You couldn't give me five bags in exchange for my Wiggy's."

I received this email testimonial from Google. Never knew they published these, so thank you Sherman. It is always nice to know my sleeping bags are doing what they are supposed to do after 18 years. 5 stars can't be better than that!

PAC BOOTS

My customer Brady wrote to me letting me know the second pair of Pac boots he spoke of is from Kamik. They are a Canadian manufacturer that I put out of my mind. All of the rudder bases I used for my Pac boots I bought from them. Must have been between 15 and 20 years ago.

When I met with one of the sons of the owner of the company at the outdoor retailer show I showed him the Sunwalker’s and explained to him that they do not retain moisture the way the felt they were then and still use today. I could make them for the company or I would sell them the Lamilite and they could make them in their own factory.

I knew I was speaking to an idiot who had no understanding of how bad a product the felt inserts were.

They may or may not actually make them in their own factory but I suspect they do. The reality is they know the problem with felt inserts as do ALL of the companies that use them, but they sell extra pairs separately. You need one to two pair a day depending upon how long you wear them each day. They take 24 to 48 hours to dry so you need 4 or 5 extra pair. Of course if they replaced the felt with Lamilite inserts one pair is all you need. They don’t absorb water and if they do get wet they dry in less than an hour. They are more expensive than the felt inserts but because the Pac boots are now a much better product and I have found that people will pay more for product that actually works. I know this to be true because my sales of Sunwalker’s increases each year.

Of course retailers that inventory Pac boots do not want them to change either because they sell the extra pairs of inserts and probably at least one extra pair when the Pac boots are initially bought. If that is the case you should know at that moment why you should not buy the Pac boots in the first place.

However, so long as the Pac boot manufacturers or importers of the Chinese made products there will always be a new customer developing for Wiggy’s Sunwalker’s.

As I have advised before if you must have a Pac boot buy the least costly pair, throw away the inserts and replace them with the tall Sunwalker’s. On the web site they are named the Sunwalker 2.

One more time we observe a company that refuses to accept a basic fact which is the body produced moisture in a cold situation becomes the enemy of the body that produced it unless it is directed away from the body. Will the ownership of Kamik ever accept this fact, my opinion no.

ROBBERY OF CANADA GOOSE PARKAS

Two of my customers wrote to me about the Canada Goose parkas being stolen from people wearing them in Chicago. They range in cost from $500.00 to $1600.00. The thieves see the logo sewn on the garments so they know what they are looking for to steal. One guy cut the logo off of his parka.

My question is; when the thieves discover they are no so warm will they try and find their victim and return it?

I have never believed in using my customers as bill boards the way all of the other companies do.

Canada Goose should start selling insurance policies with their parkas.
