How much $300-400??? Love the way marketers take a low tech device and link it with a smart phone app.... heheheh If you get weather reports to your phone, you get 90% of the info. that app will send anywho.... That bag is a good idea (at a reasonable price point) tho.... Just my .02 :)

Interesting idea. I would imagine most people who have a nice ride already have it in a garage or storage facility. Who the heck is going to park their DD Corolla or other s/h/I/t/ box in this? I can't imagine an appartment renter is going to buy this thing.

I am not sold on it.

And I'm sure some ass hole neighbor would call the zoning police once you inflate it.

This was featured on a inventor TV show.

Look for Episode 3: “What the Hail is it?”

The last hail storm we had, it was bad enough that hail was going through the windshields of cars, doubtful the bag will save your sheet.

Take a look at the video link I posted. They drop stuff on it from a scaffold.

Dropping and moving at 126 MPH is completely different. Only 1 way to find out for sure.....

if i was that worried i would just go with two car covers and a heavy bubble wrap between them.like you really want another key fob to use once every year or two. then if your know where near home your screwed. and i'm sure i could come up with a couple others but gotta go make that dough!!
nifty idea but i deem it a FAIL!!! just my .02

i'll bring my concept to louisville, maybe (if i remember)

I think that would serve better use if parked at a mall parking lot. :lol:

My hail protector is my wife. When that thing hatches it will be a big bug.

just watched it again, i can't believe nobody stopped this project before it got out of hand. he would have been better off making new marauder rear bumpers:D

I think it would be hard to drive with it on the car.....

Looking at the map.......there is no hail in Mexico, and.... street racing is legal there too.....

Another thought. Yet one more thing to make my phone beep? NO THANKS! I already get enough of that.

Looks like a thing of Jiffy Pop to me.

I wasn't sure about this thing when I first read it. Most of the time I watch the weather enough to know when bad weather is gonna be close. If that's the case I just try to avoid going out or being out. I saw this thing first thing this morning and thought I'd see what your thoughts were.
