Wiggy,
I've written you several times over the past few years in praise of your
products. I've used your rectangle Super Light with hood exclusively, since buying
one used, if I remember correctly, in 1989. I replaced it with a new one a few
years ago because my grandson needed a bag for a fall camping trip with his
buddies and he loved it so much I told him to keep it. And by the way, he was
the only one of the three that was warm. The others were so cold that he ended
up unzipping his bag so they could all use it as a quilt and after doing so,
they were all able to sleep and enjoy their trip. Again, this is a 30 plus year
old sleeping bag that I used the hell out of and It's seen some hard use over
the years.
I wish I'd gotten one of your ground pads sooner than I did. They're made like
your sleeping bags, rugged, comfortable and warm. I've used it a few times
directly on packed snow and bare, frozen ground, and I never once felt any cold
through the pad.
Your products are the best I've ever used, bar none. Your bags, in my
experience, are conservatively rated. I've been comfortably warm in my Super
Light on more than one occasion, at ten degrees below the bags rating. Under
most conditions, I don't even zip the bag completely shut until the temperature
gets into the mid-teens. They're awesome bags.
All that said, it's not the reason I'm writing you. I subscribe to your
newsletter and I just read the most recent post about your health. I'm very
sorry to hear about the problems you're having and I wish you the best. It may
sound strange having never even met you but having used and enjoyed your
products for so many years I've come to think of you as a friend, and I'm sure
that there are many others out there that feel the same way.
Thank you for your honesty, your integrity, and for making the best sleeping
bags (and other products) that I've ever had the pleasure of using.
Please pass along my thanks along to Kok, Pum and the others at Wiggy's as
well.
Thank you,
Bob
Bob many thanks for your letter and allowing me to publish it. I am happy to
say I have weathered the storm so far well.
