Story #1 (Filson Wool)
"I was in a severe airplane crash while working as a guide in Alaska. I suffered a broken leg, lower back and I also had several fingers nearly torn off which were broken on my right hand.

Considering my injuries, I would have certainly died of hypothermia had it not been for your fine product."
