Would this keep my husband & 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.

Most likely won't fit in check on bag..does last several hours on low with battery. Comes with cable to plug in if possible. I use it at work and love it....I run it off battery power but own several batteries.

I'm not sure, but I don't think any moving air will keep you cool at night in Haiti. As for the luggage, that depends on how big, how many, etc. It's kinda bulky but easy to carry around in a golf cart.

That is a most entertaining question! I use mine on hot days at dog shows. Haven't been to Haiti, but I believe it would certainly be a benefit.Would it fit in checked luggage - haven't seen your luggage. It would fit in my luggage. The fan is light weight; the rechargeable batteries and battery charger unit are small enough, but heavyish.I would suggest you reserve a room with air conditioning instead

Yes, bring along a few batteries. Has speed adjustments. I use it all the time. Batteries last about five hours on high speed. Very quiet.

No i dont think so, buy something. That is sold there, so you can return, with no issues, then there's no worries.

yup it will and its compact and light, just gotta make sure to bring extra battery and dont forget the charger :)oh I forgot you also can connect it to AC power too

Definitely works well with a full suitcase but make sure to put the heat sensor right in the middle of the case in the clothes, the more tightly packed the bag is the longer it will take for it to reach temperature all the way through.

You should be able to travel with it. It's the size of a normal duffle bag, but it will be heavy.

I use it in Haiti and is very warm here but I use it occasionally and then I take it off.

It should easily fit in the checked bag. I bought this when my brother came from NYC to Seattle. They took it back with them. Just make sure that you take out the air completely and it should fold and fit nicely.

I've only used the tent in warmer weather, but nights still were cool. With the sides zipped up, I can't imagine getting cold. For warm nights the unzipped sides will help you keep cool. I would imagine with a good sleeping bag you could stay warm on a chilly night.

The cooler is for my husband, and it will stay cool, for several hrs with 2 small freeze packs. I frequently carry it in my purse, so it is not up against the body ... or even in in back pack. We love using it duringtravel. Good luck with it!We have had it stay cool as long as 12 hrs.

Probably a small unless they have a smaller one. These things are pretty big. Consider whether or not you pack a lot of things on the outside of your bag like sleeping pad

We have it in the guestroom and the guest love it. It is cool at night so your should not have to worry about sweating too much.

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 think I would bring another blanket if the evenings are cooler. If it is a warm night, it should be fine.

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

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

Personally, I think it would be a bit too light for use as a travel blanket, but that's just me. It might be just the right amount of warmth for you. I think it's a great idea and would take up so little room!! Give it a shot and share your experience with the rest of us as to whether you think it works in that capacity or not. I definately think it would be better than nothing. ~ jade ~

Yes. I bought this for my wife during her pregnancy, and she would agree with that assessment. It is certainly cool at the beginning of the night, but it is no longer cool to the touch by 3 to 4 hours later.

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.
