    Great point about the humidity – something people often overlook when planning winter camping gear.

    Excellent test, although being so high off the ground and having the walls of the truck bed offer more protection than you would normally have.

    What did you wear while in the bag?

    Wiggy’s isn’t the only game in town for sleeping bags. The makers of Arctic Shield hunting clothing, make sleeping bags rated at 0F, -20F and -40 that range in price from $120 – 150 USD. the -40 bag weighs a mere 5 pounds.

    It was mentioned in the video that the bag was borrowed from a friend of his.

    Your voice sounds a little like Clint Eastwood….”go ahead..make my day”.

    Each bag is different. The one in this video was about $400 Canadian.

    If you love a Wiggys bag you are going to absolutely love a Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, and Big Agnes bags. Its a lot warmer per weight. These are are also more compact then Wiggies.

    Wiggies is a more DIY style.

    I disagree. I have used North Face, Kifaru, Marmot, and Wiggies bags. Although Wiggies tend to be larger even when compressed, they have high loft and are easy to zip up and cinch. I own over a dozen sleeping bags and two are Wiggies. Good review.
