Sleeping Bags

So I was looking at the sleeping bags that FDG carries, as I've been considering what I ought to add to my prep kit.  There's the military ECW gear that costs some serious coin.  FDG has Wiggy's bags.  I was intrigued because supposedly the military uses them in some applications, but there're some forum posts that totally trash their performance.  Recommended in place of Wiggy's were Western Mountaineering or Kifaru.  Finding good gear without buying a bunch of not-so-good gear is difficult.

Apparently the buzzword in insulation is "continuous (filament) fiber", which doesn't require baffles or attachment to the bag shell.
