Would this keep my husband &amp; myself comfortably cool at night in Haiti ? Would it fit in checked luggage?

I would measure the fan and check the airline checked luggage regs, it is thin and lightweight, but are you planning on carrying the batteries and charger? Those are heavy and not sure if the charger is compatible with the Haitian electrical plugs? Finally, the fan is not that quiet for sleeping, not designed for this as it is fairly noisy on low, okay for an work environment.

It is easy to pack and the comfort level is worth it anyway!! It has a little snap/velcro thing that you can hang it on a carryon bag etc. It's pretty lightweight. I highly recommend this pilow!!

I have this SAME question! Does anyone know which is less bulky to pack? Need to take it on an airplane...

That depends of course on how quickly and how much the air cools after the sun sets. In the tropics where there's a very gradual cooling, I would think you could use it after sunset. But it's not an insulated bag, so it won't hold heat for very long.

THIS bag will work for you! I got it for my son to go on a trip where the temp got down to 20 at night and they were in cabins, he was very comfortable.

"Travel light freeze the night." I've use this liner many nights in the mountains of the North East. It rolls up enough to pack but would pack best with a compression bag. Along with my poncho it has keep me warm and dry enough to make it through cold Spring, Summer, and Fall nights in the woods.

Yes! I use mine for my to and from work commute with a change of clothes. It would fit under an airplane seat and follows all TSA size guidelines for carry on.

See Forrester comment for size. We took ours to Caribbean in a 22" carry-on by removing poles and storing them diagonally. You can then squish the carrying bag inside.

It will not fit in checked luggage. It's about the size of a typical lawn chair when folded. Not sure exact sizing.

I have two answers for you... Yes an No. Yes, if you keep your head uncovered. No. Not comfortably... In my opinion. I measured from the inside; from the base to where the zipper starts/ends is 72". The hood is roughly 12". So I think you would fit but it might be a tight squeeze. I always prefer some wiggle room. Also, please note the temperature rating. It is very accurate. I used this bag for a mission trip to PR. We slept in the church in an air conditioned room and I froze. Had to run to a store the next day and purchase an extra blanket.

I ended up getting larger cool packs for longer trips. It keeps it pretty cold. It lasted me about 8 hours. She may want to have a back up if the flight is longer then that. It is definitely big enough to hold 6-7 vials.

Yes! I've traveled with this fan twice. Packed it in my suitcase with my clothes and it worked out perfectly.

It might fit in a checked bag, but it would most likely be too tall for carry-on. It's very compact when rolled up, but the height would be the determining factor, as the poles are rigid and cannot be folded down any further.

I keep it near me at night , not underneath the whole time so I don't know how long it would stay cool if it's in direct contact with your body but it stays cool thru the night and I just have it there to grab & use as needed and it's always cool.

it would just depend on what type of trip and how long. if pack is to be used for a day trip, then yes, it should be fine. if multiple days, were more gear is essential (wet/cold, sleep system, food, water), it may not be enough for two people. only exception may be if both persons are true minimalists ...hope this helps

I don't think it would fit in a suitcase. It may be able to be tagged as a separate piece of luggage. It lays very flat, but it's outside diameter would be the problem.I have seen a personal size sun shelter that works more like a small 1-2 man tentand assemble very easily with shock corded poles. That would fit into a suitcase.Wehope this helps.Jim L. Jleone289@comcast.net

I think it would be big enough if you don't mind sleeping close, but don't be thinking king size bed. The bigger issue is that one person would have the lightweight piece below him (warmer) and the other would have the lightweight piece above her. (cooler.) The best part about this bag is that you can flip it over during the night as temperatures drop. But with two people sleeping on two of these bags, you would to lose this ability.
