Awesome demonstration. Im mesh curious, and will probably just bite the bullet now and try some. Was a field instructor and wildlife monitor in the Arctic of canada for a few years. Taught survival and many other courses. Did ops. Then, I got into the environmental field. I enjoy xc skiing, fat ski exploration, fat biking, hunting, etc. Live in the Yukon. I've used your sleeping bags for students. I have seen these garments on your website, and am close to adding to the cart. So many years of soggy merino baselayers or stinky synthetics. This stuff looks like a game changer, and all the reviews back it up.

This is why I usually only buy military surplus, because at least i can be assured that the gear is made in the country that it represents and is of reasonable quality. Ive wasted so much money over the years learning the hard way that the price of a piece of gear isn't always representative of its quality. I recently purchased a Superlite inner and outer sleeping bag, and a Duck's Back Parka from you, and they truly exceeded my expectations. Your prices are very reasonable considering the quality. I'm fairly certain the bags and the parka will outlive me. I wish I would have tried your bags 15 years ago; it would have saved me a small fortune

I used to fly B-52s. I'm looking into buying fishnet long John's because I sweat too much too often in the warm climate I live in, in Southern California. I want to try wearing fishnet long John's under sweatshirts or long sleeve t-shirts damp marine layer weather and hot California weather. I also flew B-1s when I was very young. It soundds like they're trying to kill people ODing them on synthetic Petroleum base fibers. I hope your fishnet long John's are 100% cotton.

he reason my fishnets work so well is because they are made from nylon yarns. you will find out very quickly how well they perform because they are nylon. what ever you wear over them will get wet but you will not. they are not issued to air force who are issued nomex [nylon] long underwear because it does not burn.

I have an antarctic wiggys bag and another brand bag that uses down as filling rated for 20 degrees. To this bag I've added 16 oz of additional down by cutting each baffle, adding the down, then patching the hole. The temperature dropped to 0 last night and I slept 3 hours in each bag to see which was better. Both were adequately warm though the wiggys bag was a little warmer. My down bag is half the size and weight. In both bags my face felt like it was freezing. If I put my face in the bag cold air would enter either bag. My down bag isn't constructed as good as it could be. So adding down won't overcome these shortcomings. I have looked at western mountaineering bags on their website and their bags are going to be in a whole other league than my down bag. I still trust my wiggys bag more than a down filled bag because I have slept in a wiggys bag night after night. Wiggys bags are very good and reliable. I wouldn't own any other synthetic bag. I've owned 3. But they are twice or three times the size compressed as a down bag. You'll likely spend more money to buy a bag that's as warm as wiggys antarctic bag.

A civilian version of this with a different color scheme and higher temp rating would be great for emergencies. I can see it being packed into a daypack for hikers that get lost or injured. It can also serve those traveling in their vehicles or airplanes through very cold climates and don't expect to be stranded. You guys have come up with an ingenious multi-use sleep shelter!

@wiggys

number one the insulation is not down but LAMILITE which you can learn about on the web site. The Lamilite can be compressed for years and when it is removed from the vacuum package it will return to its original loft.

Hello Jerry. Do you remember talking with a man from Alaska named John Runkle? I am just curious if you remember him. He is my Dad. I have one of the -40 bags and it’s served me well over the years. Lots of use out on the trap line and spring bird hunting. I am heading out tomorrow and I was getting my bag setup. It made me want to see if you had any videos on KZbin. Your bags are hands down the best and my father always recommended them. Thank you sir.
