With high expectations I picked up a Wiggy's Overbag (size Wide Body-Regular). First impression= OUTSTANDING product!

Quality zipper, stitching, drawstrings and compression bag that actually works without ripping!! All ruggedly built.

Inside the bag, plenty roomy for my 5-10" XL self. Zipper easy to use without binding. Hood drawstrings very adjustable to perfectly enclose the bag with a range of wide open to a mouth sized hole. Sturdily sewn in. Bag conformed without feeling confining. No cold spots though the temperature only dropped to the upper 40s (Rated to 35*F+) I was more than toasty.

Bag stuffs and compresses into ~10"x9" so it fits easily in my 2000 cu in overnight backpack with plenty of room to spare. I actually found that it was more comfortable in the frameless pack with less compression and tucking my other gear around it and then compressing it with the pack's compression straps.

Weight WITH the compression sack is 3 lb 7.7 oz according to my digital scale. The smaller regular size bag published weight is a pound less without the compression sack.

I own several bags from big name companies that have served me over the years with varying degrees of performance and satisfaction. Most of those bags showed their shortcomings early on (poor quality binding zippers, weak stitching, limited adjustment, etc) but the Wiggy's bag has met and even suprassed my expectations of excellence. I believe this bag will serve me well for many years. Worth every penny and then some.

I have no affiliation with Wiggy's, I'm just a happy customer.

Best camping gear I've purchased in a long time. I will be outfitting the rest of the family.

And may it continue to suprass your expectations for years to come.


The Bill of Rights is just that. It is not the Bill of Needs as determined by some liberal know it all.

Politicians and diapers should be changed often for precisely the same reason.

Congrats on finding a bag that works for you.

Mine's not anywhere near the top of the list of the one's I own, but c'est la vie, one man's junk is anothers treasure.

I wonder [read: doubt] that W has changed the drawstring or the compression sack. I'm surprised to read anyone considering them remotely acceptable. Go figure.

I owned a Wiggy bag that I used for 3+ straight months. Yes 3 straight months day to day from locations such as St. Elmo CO to the Baja peninsula. The bag sucked. The fill migrated on me and we had to make a detour to the factory in Grand Junction to get it fixed. The fix didnt stick. Wigatow ( or however his name is spelled) is a jackass son of a bitch. If you value the quality of the people that you deal with you will do yourself a great favor by staying very clear of Wiggy gear. I�ve personally dealt with the man and he�s a jackass.
