Best Giant 50' Solar Bag Deals

Customer Ratings:

I actually used this with my students today and it was SO much fun. My highschoolers, although they laughed as I ran around trying to get it to fill up, were mesmerized as it began to float! It was great to talk about the density of different air masses based on temperature in my Earth Science class, and I will likely pull it out in Chemistry too... in order to be light enough to float they had to make it out of REALLY REALLY thin plastic sheeting, so beware that it can get a tear REALLY easily, but we only had one tear and I just tied the spot where it happened and it looks pretty decent now.

Quite impressed. I teach high school physics and while my students most certainly had their doubts about how fun it could be to play with a giant trash bag, once the bag inflated and began to lift, we were all very impressed. It was about 45 degrees out side and mostly sunny. As soon as we went outside there was light cloud cover, but the solar bag still worked great.

Incredibly thin plastic. I hope to reuse it a few times, but don't expect too much in terms of durability.

Pull this out on a nice sunny December morning. My young scientist helped me unroll the 50' bag. I tied one end and filled with air from the open end with a box fan. This quickly speed the inserting air process. I tied and tetered the end that was open. My 6 year old and 4 year old twins were happily amazed as they saw it start to float up into the air. They nickname their solar ballon "Long John". The watched and played with it for a couple of hours until it crashed into a tree and tore. Since it is so long I was able to cut out 10 to 15 foot sections to make a mini "Long John". Everyone was happy again until one of my twins let the teter go and we watched mini "Long John" sail into the clear blue sky. I have demanded that we get another one. Great unique fun for a sunny day.

Honest reviews on Giant 50' Solar Bag

You gotta try this thing. My kids loved it. I loved it. Then it flew into an ocatillo cactus and was destroyed. You can cut this into smaller sections to make more than one. Comes with some very lightweight string. I'm going to combine this with one of the reel-type kite reelers so I can bring it in fast if necessary.... not that you would need to, unless like me, you've got cacti all over the place.

As the photos above show, my twenty-somethings had a blast for a good hour or more. Got a lot of stares from passer-bys. However, my order total a few months ago for TWO bags came to $31.75 (with shipping). Now, ONE bag costs $29.83 (with shipping). Not a good value, but I'm still going to buy one more because I have a nephew who is really hard to buy for. (As a gift, this would be better with warm weather birthdays, etc.)

Update: August 8, 2012. Will be impressed with the company if they contact me and offer to return half of my $29.83 now that the price has 'suddenly' dropped to $15.
