Wiggy's Sleeping Bags
(World's finest sleeping bag?)
I believe Wiggy's Sleeping Bags are absolutely, bar none the finest sleeping bag in the world. What's so hard to believe about that, somebody has to be the best. I also believe that next to your weapon and your knife your sleeping bag is the most important piece of equipment you take to the field.
As of a few years ago Wiggy's bags became the standard sleeping bag for the U.S. Army Special Forces and the issue bag for approximately 90% of U.S. Navy Seal Teams. These guys more often than not operate in extremely hostile environments, are not easily impressed and demand the finest equipment available; if it is not issued to them they will usually go out and purchase it themselves.
This is an incredibly rugged, lightweight and well designed sleeping bag made to last for many years plus it carries a lifetime warranty.
Please read the testimonial I wrote for Mr. Jerry Wigutow regarding my personal use of his product that I now represent. This is why I will only use a Wiggy's bag.
Be Ready,
FDG
All Wiggy's sleeping bags are filled with Lamilite insulation and have contoured hood sections. The draft tube is oversized. All left zip bags are made with a double draft tube. All bags are zipper mateable. The Antarctic and Ultima Thule models have a shock cord, draw cord six inches below the top of the chest section, which eliminates the need for a draft collar. Sleeping bags come with a stuff sack and pillow. All sacks are the same price regardless of size. Add $30 for a compression stuff sack. Custom bags are also available, as is woodland camouflage. Add 30% for a custom size bag. Be sure to check out our 3-in-1 sleeping bags known as the Flexible Temperature Range Sleep System (FTRSS).
A little further Clarification. . .
The Standard bag fits someone up to 6 feet tall and around 160 pounds.

Overbag (FTRSS) Sleeping Bag
 Product #: 6.14.1
In 1992, Wiggy's was approached by the U.S. Marine Corps to produce a sleeping system for them that would function in a temperature range of summer time to -20 F. Several months later, Wiggy's received a call from the U.S. Navy Seals requesting a system that would function from summer conditions to -40F. The second system has been assigned a national stock number, as requested by the U.S. Navy, NSN 8465-01-395-4094. Since its inception, the FTRSS, as it has come to be known has become a significant part of our line. Wiggy's has also adapted the over bag to all of their sleeping bags. Its versatility has made the system extremely desirable. The FTRSS is now the most widely purchased sleeping system by all of the U.S. Armed Forces. In addition, it has become extremely popular with campers, giving three sleeping bags for the price of one. First, the over bag can be used independently in temperatures of +35F and up. Second, when incorporated with an Ultra Lite -20F or Super Lite -40F or Ultima Thule -60F or the Antarctic bag it will take you to the coldest place on earth. And third, the system can be used as a mated set in an emergency situation. Simply turn one of the two bags inside out and now they can be mated. This capability has proved to be a significant asset for our search and rescue customers.
If you happen to own a Wiggy bag and want to increase its temperature capability all you have to do is order an over bag. The weight of the over bag is 2.5 to 3 pounds depending upon size.

MEMORANDUM FOR Wiggy's, 26 May 2001
SUBJECT: Testimonial on FTRSS
I have purchased several of your bags for myself and some of my buddies in the military. I am presently an Active Duty Trainer for the Army National Guard, and among other duties I conduct annual Winter Survival Training for various units in the high Sierras of California.
In January 1997, I took my troops out for their first exposure to Wilderness Winter Survival Training. Most were somewhat accustomed to cold weather; some of them not at all. We spent the first day in the field training to build fire without matches or lighters, catching game by traps and snares, and expedient shelter building. The troops were so engrossed in the fun stuff that they were not giving heed to my encouragement to begin building proper snow shelters. When they finally got around to that part of the training, the day was getting short.
The troops got their shelters built, well, sort of and my Lieutenant decided he would allow any of the troops (including himself) to go back to the Armory, since they might not be properly prepared for the night.
One of my young Specialists named Richard had built a fairly nice igloo, but contrary to my suggestion, he had built it utilizing three live standing trees, one at each of three corners. I had told him that they might act as heat sumps from the day's sunrays and cause melting inside. But what did I know?
For some reason Richard decided he had to go in that night. Since I had been busy instructing my soldiers all day, I had not yet built my own shelter. Richard told me I could have his. Great idea! Sometime well after dark I tossed my FTRSS inside the shelter, unrolled it and went over to the campfire to bond with some of the “meat-eaters” who stayed out there with me.
We bonded until around 2 A.M. at which time I wandered off to bed. For that time of year it was unseasonably warm, at least it was above 32 degrees, as it was dripping heavily inside my shelter, helped I'm sure by the three trees. I figured I didn't have much choice so I took off my boots, placed them under my poncho and crawled into my FTRSS.
My bag was drenched, although I began to warm up fairly quickly, but the real problem was that darned water dripping on my bivy bag keeping me awake, kinda like Chinese Water Torture. After about 45 minutes of this, I decided I would have to move outside and sleep in the snow. I tossed my very wet FTRSS outside, climbed in and went to sleep.
At 6 A.M., I awakened to the sound of a 5 ton truck bringing our chow (since my LT was scared of eating the rabbits I had provided, mumbling something about rabbit fever). Then I realized I was so warm and toasty, I was amazed. I rolled over in my bag and It actually squished. Water ran everywhere, but I was warm and happy. My BDU's were totally soaked, but I was warm. Wow! I climbed out of my Wiggy's bag and nearly froze to death while trying to get my frozen stiff boots on.
You make one heck of a bag, absolutely the most amazing piece of equipment I have ever used.
Thank You for such a fine product.
