Sleeping Bag

I have 3 Wiggy's bags, the Desert, Overbag and Ultra-light. I use them 12 months out of the year. I absolute recommend them and I can't speak highly enough for their ability to drape and retain warmth when wet. They're a bit bulky but they have lasted me for season after season.
 
I keep my bag in a compression sack in my WASP pack always ready to go. Most manufacturers say you shouldn't leave your bag compressed for extended periods of time...with the Wiggys it mitigates the compression and still works...at least mine does in sub zero temps in high mtn blizzards while sleeping in a tarp shelter.

Several years ago I had a Wiggy's bag and kept it in a compression sack in my truck. It sat in the sack all winter and I took it out in the spring for a camping trip...after a week it still hadn't lofted up. I imagine that the fill material in mine was different than what they use now but even back then they said it wouldn't hurt it to keep it compressed. Needless to say, that was the last time I left a sleeping bag in a compression sack for any longer than necessary.
