WOW TESTIMONIAL

A couple of years ago I purchased the Hunter Ultima Thule with a ground pad determined to not spend a cold night in my hammock again. It certainly solved that problem. I find myself unzipping the bag to let some cool air in and never have cold spots underneath me.

I recently had a camping trip that involved lots of rain and very high winds. I walked back to camp (in my Lamilite boots) with dry feet to find that the wind had pulled the anchors for my tarp out of the ground leaving my hammock and Wiggy bag exposed to the pouring rain. A closer look revealed the 2 or 3 gallons of water puddled in the middle of my sleeping bag. Well Mr. Wiggy now what!? I thought to myself. Luckily I had a dry towel. So I dumped the water, rigged the tarp much more securely this time and towel dried everything as best I could. The bottom of the bag was the most saturated so I decided to flip it over and have the wetter side on top of me. I put on my Wiggy fishnet PJs and prepared for what I expected to be a miserable night.

Once inside the bag it was warm in just a few minutes like always. After about 20 minutes the damp bag now just had a damp spot where the water had gathered. Another 20 minutes passed and the damp spot was barely noticeable. So I got up and put the bag right side up, crawled back in and went to sleep. That morning the bag was bone dry and I was warm and well rested. In the back of my mind I could see Mr. Wiggy smiling and saying," Simply the best. That's what."

There were a few elements that made this a success story. The dry towel was very helpful in removing most of the water. The fishnets made my body a heat source almost completely incapable of retaining any moisture. Turning the bag over so the heat from my body could rise and push the moisture out of the bag worked magically. No other sleeping bag on the planet could do that. When put to the test Wiggy's products always out perform their own claims.

Thank you Mr. Wigutow for all that you do.

A loyal customer for life.

Over the past 10 years I have had many ask about the other companies that sell sleeping bags or what they refer to as sleeping bags why they too are now not using Lamilite? The answer I give is because they turned me down when I showed them how to use laminated Polar Guard when it was first made in the late 1960’s. The laminated Polar Guard became the first rendition of Lamilite, which is now made with Climashield a better product. The primary reason ALL of the companies that made bags in the U.S.A. at the time did not like the outward appearance, a synthetic bag that did not resemble a down bag. They refused to accept then and to this day that quilt stitching is cold spots.

What could I know since I was in my mid to late 20’s? I was not supported by a large corporation such as 3-M who put their trash product thinsulate on the market because their representatives had a deep advertising budget to go along with their total lack of knowledge.

The end result happens to be Wiggy’s manufacturing in the U.S.A. more bags than all of them put together because Wiggy’s bags actually perform at minimum to what I have claimed about them for 30 years. Actually based upon customer use as you have just read Wiggy’s bags outperform my claims. Thank you Robert for your testimonial.

BILLBOARD ADVERTISING

Today a customer from Burlington , VT. called and during the conversation asked why I didn’t have Wiggy’s on the outside of the new Antarctic parka he just received? I asked why the question and his response was that people have stopped to ask about it and where it came from. There was no exterior logo for them to see.

My first response was my customers were not billboards for me. Then I told him when someone sees a company logo they know where the garment came from, but when they stop you they ask and you not only tell them about the garment but you may also tell them you have been dealing with Wiggy’s for years using various products that were purchased from Wiggy’s. In this manner I get the benefit of your sales presentation of my products, for which I am grateful.

FOLLOW UP TO THE VF ARTICLE

It appears that VF is on the list of 100 “most just companies” as recognized by a British Corporation, Just Capital. This sentiment was expressed in an article seen on the SBG online magazine. The expressers were Martin Whittaker CEO of Just and Randell Lane editor of Forbes Magazine.

How just can VF be if all of the properties they own get their products made in countries all over the world. They do not own a sewing machine in the U.S.A. They depend upon U.S.A. consumers to fill their pockets with profits but chose not to produce in the U.S.A.

I can only assume that these two companies are only interested in praising companies that make profits even at the expense of those who do not earn a living wage in areas of the world that are depressed on our standards. When these characters look at companies they only look at their bottom lines, how the profits get there is of no concern.

This Randall Lane guy lives and works in the U.S.A. and therefore should be concerned with companies that are making the effort to produce in the U.S.A. An example is the guy who makes pillows in Minnesota. He must be doing well because he is always advertising on TV. I do not know if his pillow is as good as he claims but many people obviously do and I would not be surprised if many of his sales are generated because he is a company that states MADE IN AMERICA. I too receive orders for that very same reason.

The British guy should promote companies that produce in the UK.

Such is how business sees things today. UGH!
