FIRST RESPONSE TO THE LATEST VIDEO
Good evening Jerry,
I have spoken to you once the phone about 3 years ago and ordered a 0 degree bag at the time, UNBELIEVABLE product, I tell everyone about it. I am back east in western Pennsylvania. I use the bag when I make my annual hunting trip to Alaska, bar none the best performing and most comfortable product ever invented. I am 58 years old, been in the outdoors hunting and fishing since I was 10. I am well-traveled and have been in a lot of extreme situations and appreciate gear that performs and have no room for failure. When I was in Anchorage last I also picked up just about everything he had, ground pad, booties, socks, jacket, boot driers, and waders. All products work....period and worth every penny.
I appreciate all your efforts and wish I could do more to help your sales, I tell everyone about Wiggy’s. I am going to make a stop out and see you one day to experience the best outdoor company in the lower 48. I am a 30 year employee of Delta Airlines as an aircraft mechanic and appreciate good work.
I will be contacting you soon to order another bag, just to have one on hand if someone needs to use one. In closing, not only is the workmanship top notch but the Lamilite material is "magical" to say the least on how fast you feel warm when either putting a garment on or climbing into a cold bag, it only take a few seconds to feel warm and I literally mean "seconds".
Sincerely,
John Keppel
P.S. liked the video on the north face bag that was great work!
Since 1977 I have stated without question that Gore-Tex does not work as advertised first by telling Bobby Gore directly it does not work. Each and every company that has come along with a clone of the Gore-Tex also does not work. All of them with the exception of the monolithic film that is applied to fabric by Columbia Sportswear have demonstrated that they must be re-water repelled which was not the case when these materials were introduced into the market place. All except the Columbia product since it covers the fabric on the outside so the fabric is actually made water-proof! My DUCKSBACK material changes all of that.
The DUCKLSBACK material is as I have said not water repellent treated nor is it coated. That being the case it never has to be treated with anything.
Gore has gotten into the water repellent chemical manufacturing business, since they realized their water-proof breathable product didn’t actually work. I am not aware of other companies making the same non-functioning product too that are making a water repellency chemical.
Since the DUCKSBACK material needs no replacement additive you do not have to maintain it, just wear it.
I started out with two styles the pullover and hooded zippered jacket, and now I am making the Barron Grounds parka, the Alaska Range parka and I expect to increase the number of styles in the future. At this time the color selection is black and olive green, but shortly I will add a medium blue color that will be available in May. I will show the color on the web site and in the next video for any who are interested in one of the current garments that I presently make.
It is my strong belief that the DUCKSBACK material will ultimately replace every material that we currently know of as a bogus water proof breathable entity.
