The Outdoor Hanger

Product Review

Being a hunter and an avid outdoors person we all have witnessed the same things when it comes to our clothing. Some of the terrain and weather conditions calls for some rugged and heavy pants, shirts, jackets, and vests. The problem we all have faced in the past is the ability to store our heavy and well insulated clothing properly. In most cases a typical hanger won’t hold them and so we opt to fold them up and toss them on the floor of your closet or in a drawer. Once the item is in the drawer there is no more room in there for other things.
Well, there is now a solution and I have tested this product myself and it is completely amazing. There are now hangers that are designed specifically for your heavy and well insulated clothing. The hangers are made of a thick hard plastic and come in an array of different colors. I took all of my outdoor clothes and got them ready for the test. I began placing each item on a new hanger and soon half of my closet was full. Astonished at how well they hung there undisturbed, I began to tug at each one of the items to see if I could get the clothes to slip off. First the heavy orange jacket. After testing each one I was amazed to see that these hangers were not only the answer for me, but for the answer to all outdoors people looking for a way to hang their outdoor clothing.
I used to buy the big plastic hangers found in the housewares department at Walmart but they were still too flimsy for my jackets. They even weren’t broad enough to get each end under the shoulder of the jacket properly to hold it well. These new hangers are a lot larger and far from flimsy.

After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!”
