The bag I was looking for......trust me, I looked at all the other bags out there.
I was looking for a light, warm, compressible bag that would fit my 6'4" frame and give me a good solid three seasons of use in the Pacific Northwest, and I found it!
From having owned Wiggy's bags for almost twenty years I knew that the bag would hold up to moisture and the temperature rating would be accurate, but having had trouble in the past with cold feet and no shoulder room in other companies mummy sleeping bags, I was hesitant to move back into a mummy style bag. The Wiggy's bag has a large well insulated circular foot that kept my feet warm, and when I pulled down the hood with the drawstring I still felt comfortable, but I opened it back up because I did not need that much warmth. The bag is also wide enough for me to sleep on my side with my knees bent without feeling constricted or like I am pushing up against the bags seams or zipper.
Speaking of zippers (this bag has a large full length draft tube) , I slept two nights in 40 degree weather with the zipper three quarters of the way down. I was wearing a pair of light wool boxer briefs and a light wool t-shirt and was never too warm or clammy the entire night. Another bonus is that my Regular / Regular size bag fits perfectly on my Big Agnes insulated inflatable sleeping pad. The combination of the bag and pad kept my side warm all night with no cold spots. Which is great because my bad hip and old knees really appreciated a warm full nights sleep.
I am telling all my friends they should get this bag and forgo the ridiculously high prices for "waterproof" down bags and get one that will hold up to the cold and damp day after day. For $135 with an amazing warranty this bag is a steal. It can stored in a stuff bag and can even be washed at home or on the road with no special additives or rinses!
If you are serious about hiking sleeping bags, get this bag. You will be warm, dry and never sorry that you did.
