"This was the first bag I bought pack in 1999. It worked fine in cold weather for a couple years. The problem I had was in cold weather (20C) in Yosemite. I nearly froze. I returned it to the manufacture for replacement since it was about 5 years old and had lost half its loft."

"This bag when new performed very well but it soon lost some of its loft and failed me at 24f. Part of this was probably because I am a cold sleeper. I told Wiggy's about this and they replaced this bag with a new one no questions asked. Their quality really is top notch as is their customer service."

"I needed a -20 or colder bag for a series of winter footraces that I am training for and entering, including races in Minnesota, Alaska, and the Yukon. Due to the potential for overflow, some races suggest synthetic fill over down. The Wiggy's Ultima Thule (wide, long) is not a small bag (compressed size is quite large) nor is it light (5."

"I have not given the bag the ultimate test in cold weather as I have been using it continuously for three months of warm weather. I am concerned that the lower portion (including the hood) seems to have less loft than the upper portion so that if you like to sleep on your side you are negating some of the insulation."

"I've owned a pair of (mate-able) Ultima Thule Wiggy bags for about 5 years now, and am really very pleased with them. The Wide-Body feature is nice if you want some additional room, or just don't care for a mummy style bag. Believe me, the Wide-Body models are not like sleeping in a mummy style bag at all."

"I've had my bag since 1986 and have used it extensively for ski mountaineering. Wet or dry, I've been happy with this bag. It has not lost any loft in comparison with new bags of the same model. I have slept well at -25F -definitely recommended if you value durability."
