Since 1986 when I first started producing the Wiggy’s Brand of Sleeping Bags my Motto has been “Simply the Best!”  I believe that my customers have truly taken me to task, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Statement is True.  I knew from the beginning the Insulating Medium that I chose to use would be critical to Wiggy’s Success.  Based upon the knowledge I acquired during my previous 25 years spent working in the Fiberfill Industry, Continuous Filament Fiber was without question the best there was and the Only way to go for me.  By applying the lamination Process to the fiber; Lamilite was created, thus I was able to use the Continuous Filament Fiber in an Economical and Highly Effective Manufacturing Method.  The simple fact that Lamilite is Not Quilted allows, for a more Uniform Loft, allowing for Better Insulation.  Additionally, when Lamilite is laundered, Re-Lofting of the Fibers actually occurs because the Fiber is not restricted by the Quilting.

I can speak in great detail about the Textile Industry since I have worked in it Continuously for the last 47 Years.  In 1961 I started working in the Textile Industry selling Interlinings (insulation) to Outerwear Manufacturers.  Among the few available was a new Nylon Fiberfill that could be used without First Quilting it!  The next product was Polyester Fiberfill that replaced the Nylon.  In 1964 the manufacturers were actually making three garments and layering them to make one, so I decided to try Laminating the Fiberfill to either the Outer Shell or to the Inner Lining, so that a Two Layer Garment could be made.  But I encountered one basic problem; either the fiberfill which was Self Supporting (could withstand laundering when sewn into a garment Un-Quilted) would laminate fine but the finish was both Stiff and the surface was Wavy.  It was possible to Laminate Quilt Quality Fiberfill that was Soft and Smooth but it would not stay together when Laundered.  Fortunately, in 1968 while I was representing a Fiberfill Manufacturer, they made a deal with the Celanese Corporation to produce a Continuous Filament Fiberfill, called Polarguard.  I brought some to our laminating division at the company and told the Plant Manager its characteristics and had him Laminate it.  The end result was a package that was Both Soft and had a Smooth Surface and could withstand being Laundered.  What was born that day was the Fore Runner of todays Lamilite.

I then opened a Laminating Company where I Built a Machine with the Specific Capability to Laminate Continuous Filament Fiber.  At the time I serviced the Glove/Mitten Industry and a few Jacket Makers.  In 1986 I was capable of Laminating the Un-Bonded Continuous Filament Fiber Product and I decided to call my New Product Lamilite, since the Product was both Laminated and Very Light. I then started making Sleeping Bags under the Wiggy’s Label.  It was then that I knew Wiggy’s was making the Very Best Sleeping Bags in the World!

Today Wiggy’s is the Single Largest Producer of Sleeping Bags in the World and Wiggy’s are Guaranteed to work as advertised, if not better. Hence our motto “SIMPLY THE BEST”!

WIGGY’S GUARANTEE:  Our Guarantee is for a Lifetime of use.  If a seam opens, the zipper breaks or the Lamilite Insulation Deteriorates (such as losing its loft or separating, clumping in one place or another), Wiggy’s will repair or replace your bag at no charge to you.  At this time, I know of no Sleeping Bag Manufacturer that would even consider such a Guarantee.  The reason is simple:  they already know the Insulation they use Will Deteriorate.  If you have ever compared information from the different Sleeping Bag and Extreme Cold Weather Garment Manufacturers, you will see that they have Never Guaranteed the Insulation.  I will explain why only Wiggy’s can make such a Guarantee. The single most important component of any Insulated Product, be it a Sleeping Bag, Parka, Bib, Snowsuit, Booties or Mittens, is the Insulation inserted into these products. All Insulated Wiggy’s Products have ONLY one Insulator, LAMILITE!  Lamilite is the best material developed thus far, for use as Insulation for Sleeping Bags or Outerwear!
