NOZIPBAGS?
I AM SURE YOU HAVE SEEN THIS LIST OF SLEEPING BAGS. WHAT A JOKE. I HAVE OVER 12 SLEEPING BAGS THAT I AND MY SONS USE EVERY MONTH FOR BOY SCOUT CAMPING AND WHEN I TAKE THEM BACK PACKING AND CAMPING BY OUR SELVES. I OWN MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS. BUT FOR THE PAST 2.5 YEARS NOW, ONLY BEEN USEING MY WIGGYS BAGS. FOR ONE GOOD REASON, THEY ARE THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY HANDS DOWN, PROVEN BY ME IN -10 DEGREES ONTRIPS WITH THE SCOUTS HERE IN MICHIGAN. WE SNOW CAMP 4 MONTHS A YEAR. AND ALL SUMMER LONG. I NOW OWN 5 DIFFERENT WIGGYS BAGS. ALL THE REST HAVE JUST NOW BEEN SETTING LOOKING LIKE THERE NICE BAGS. BUT I HAVE PROVEN DIFFERENT. THIS LIST OF BAGS FROM “NOZIPP” IS A JOKE. WIGGY’S NOT ON THE LIST NO WHERE BECAUSE THERE NOT IN THE TOP LINE STORES. I HAVE GOTTEN MANY BOY SCOUTS TO BUY YOUR BAGS, MANY ADULTS ALSO. EVERYONE HAS SAID THE SAME THING I DO. THERES NO BETTER MADE BAG AND NOT A BAG THAT IS WARMER THAN A WIGGYS. THIS LIST OF TRASH BELONGS IN THE TRASH.
THANKS

DAVE STORMENT
As I have said before I always appreciate testimonials, and this one is as good as it gets. The company referred to “nozipbags” is a new one for me to hear about. But it matters not. Companies for a number of years have made sleeping bags that did not have a zipper and to the best of my knowledge these style bags have never been successfully sold because they really do not make sense.
Occasionally I have been asked for an “elephant’s foot” model half bag that does not have a zipper only a draw cord and it is used by climbers who want to go as light as possible.
I think it is unfortunate that people decide to voice opinions about products when they have no particular background about what it takes to make a product. Basically they have no foundation from which to draw upon, but that seems to be the problem in many industries in the country beyond the textile industry.
In any event I am always pleased to get letters of this nature.
Thank you Dave
