You need this bag. I have been in other bags and woke up at 0-dark-30 half frozen. Go to the website,This guy is not bull$hittin'. you will sleep good all night. He could get away with charging alot more for what you get. This bag is rated at about -20 or so, and I sleep warm so that is very conservative. Wiggy fishnet longjohns help too. This bag will not gain a bunch of water weight over night. You could get ice on the outside, but just wipe it off and roll it up. Get the compression stuff sack, it's worth the extra $20. Customer Service no need for it. Similar Products Used: too many to list, they are junk the snow unless you like packing extra water weight. |

I reveiwed this bag a while back. Now that I've used it a few years, I like it even better! I also got the wiggy's with the outer shell (to -20) that will take it down to an even lower temperature rating when I put the shell on my tule. I also got the fishnet long johns..... instant warmth when you get in the bag- warmer than polypro. Customer Service I sent the original long johns back because they didn't fit quite right. Wiggys had improved the part that was causing me a problem- exchanged with no problem. |

I have now had the bag for about 5 years. I bought it for snow camping/backbacking. Prior to purchasing it, it was claimed that it could be stored compressed without losing its loft, washed in a toploader, and should be kept clean. Customer Service I also bought some of his mesh long johns. Skeptical, but they turned out great- warm 10 seconds after getting in the bag. I had a problem with the fit about a year later and he exchanged them with no charge. Similar Products Used: Bought about 20 bags. Most would not last a full year without losing loft or tearing up. |

Have the bag now for three years I first read the hype and was apprehensive but after several winter trips to include a winter accent of Mt.Rainier I must admit this bag worked and kept me warm and dry. The bag is bulky but most other bags are the same for the temp. rating.A down bag is great but forget it in wet cond. This bag proved it self.I will use this bag on Denali next year. Alaska-Denali Guiding has been using wiggy products for some time with great feedback, Brian and his wife are pros and great guides to the highest point in the US.check them out adg@alaska.net or 907-773-2649 Your bag is your ONLY lifeline when you are breaking down from climbing! Customer Service Wiggy knows his bags , and gets excited but I would too if I had a great product. Similar Products Used: Marmont CWM- The standard down bag for super dry and cold cond. Bag is best down mass manufactured but not made in USA This bag is super warm to but dont get wet!!cots a lot of $$$$ |

I really like this bag. It insulates very well even when wet. One time in Nepal my tent mate spilled a liter of water all over it. I noticed little change in performance. The only thing I do not like about it is its bulkyness. |
