As someone who tries to travel light, the ATEPA Cloud AirBag is exactly what I needed! It’s so versatile – I love that I can switch between a messenger bag, a crossbody, and even a mini backpack, all in one product. The inflatable feature is not just a cool gimmick; it actually provides some nice cushion and support for my gear. I’ve taken it on a couple of weekend trips, and it’s been super practical for carrying my essentials without the bulk. The best part is how compact and lightweight it is when not inflated. If you're a minimalist or just want a bag that adapts to your needs, this is it.
Made a 14 hour flight in a coach seat much more comfortable. Love that I can adjust the firmness. Compact size when rolled up perfect for this traveler who does not check bag so has limited space.
This Cloud bag is a nice substitute to a reusable shopping bag. Cloud bag
Sure it’s beyond innovative and in a league of it’s own. It’s stylish and well designed with those who live outdoors in mind; the outdoorsy and urban hiker type but for someone who doesn’t live an active lifestyle will this fill the void of owning an expensive looking bag that inflates in 5 seconds?!
Evidently the answer is absolutely not!
Seriously though! Too often great products get bad reviews as a result of consumers blind buying, failing to understand what it is they’re considering and how it will fulfill their needs.
This is first and foremost a well designed utility bag. A everyday carry commuter bag or better yet a luxury reusable bag if you’re fancy ~
A gimmick is when one sells you something you find impractical. Something you have no interest in or no need for based on a feature you simply find cool or interesting.
Based on the manufacturers product marketing their target market are those who can relate to the following.
1. Outdoors
2. Working
3. Traveling
4. Commuting
5. Lower Back support
If you can relate to at least 3 of the above on a daily basis or even weekly this lightweight, durable, packable bag might be for you!
A designer Italian bag it is not, there’s no heavy weight expensive looking hardware. The cloud bag is made of industrial grade materials. Abs plastic “hardware” for its lightweight and durability. ABS is found in everything from toys to cars due to its strength. The bag material is a polyester waterproof performance fabric that’s extremely resilient…that’s where the value lies!
You’ll be disappointed only in yourself if you can’t inflate this bag in 5 seconds so don’t buy this bag for that reason. Buy it for its ingenuity, portability, durability and ability to be packable!
Lastly most people can’t fold a fitted sheet but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done; if it arrived folded it in fact can be done.
This is a very unique product for better or for worse.
More than anything, if you need to transport anything small and fragile, this bag might be perfect for you.
My biggest problem with this bag is that I don't want to put things in it if I'm going to sit on it and I'm not going to sit on it If I'm using it as a bag. It's more like the ultimate portable seat cushion that can double as a bag in a pinch.
but.... while on a hike, the bag holds your lunch, snacks and water well enough. Once we got to the lake, everything came out of the bag for the meal which made the bag empty and it became a viable seat. Once we were done with the view, the cushions were deflated and everything went back into the bag.
I honestly like this bag/cushion but it's a bit of a hassle or is it particularly convenient? hard to tell
Unexpected gift! Very useful tool that I will look forward to using.
There are so many good reviews that summed up much of what I wanted to say. Firstly, getting the bag pulled out of the carry pouch is a lesson in patience, you need to realize not only is the carry bag inside out, but the bag is too. For puzzle people, this will be a breeze, but for others, the inside out-upside down bit may bend your mind for a minute (especially if you aren't expecting it). For those born in the generation of map folding being a life skill, you may excel at returning it to the bag, but here are a few pointers. One, note that once you dislodge the bag from the carry pouch, it is inside out and folded in thirds. Theoretically, it would be a simple act of re-folding it in thirds and then folding it in half the other way and neatly tucking it in the flipped inside out stuff bag. Or... The listing calls it a stuff sack. Stuff sack means what it says, stuff that motha willy nilly into the bag and pray it all fits. The instructions say it will take a little extra breath upon first inflation. That implies that you will NEVER be able to fully deflate the bag back to factory settings. So good luck if you feel the need to stash it. On the other hand, it is easy to inflate.
The shoulder strap clips are very stiff and difficult to attach, so once on, I doubt you could ever remove them easily. It does come with an elastic band around the straps. You might as well toss this because you won't even remember where you put it if you decide to use it later.
Now, as to the functionality of the bag part. It works brilliantly as a pillow/cushion. There is ample room in the inner bag for items, but imagine sitting on your items. That is the reality of this bag. However! If you manage your expectations, here's how it can work: imagine you're on a hike with a friend, your bag is deflated (walking around with it inflated is so "look at me, I have this weird and wonderful bag I dare you to ask me about" and will ruin the reveal). Inside your bag is your water bottle, and a snack, and how about your phone. You stop to take a break and pull out your water, snack and phone, and take a few seconds to inflate the now empty bag. As your hiking buddy tries to look comfortable sitting on a jagged boulder, you plop your pillow down and proceed to take a leisurely break. They gawk at you while you munch your granola bar. That smug satisfaction you feel? Yeah, that makes it worth getting this bag. 5/5
I liked it but I think it’s a little too overpriced. It was expensive and for someone who needs two it would really add up. I will enjoy my one chair and hopefully find another one that’s a little more economical
For an outdoor chair it is pretty comfy!
Purchased tent for Renesance Faires that we travel to. Will have to say I am impressed at how simple the tent is to set up. It is a bit difficult with 1 person but once the bottom is staked in the ground and make sure you get the bottom as taught as possible. The tent goes up pretty easily. It is heavy at first but with a bit of muscle the pole went up and the top of the tent went up.
Getting all of the tent supports and riggers connected were easy. I would recommend getting beefy stakes as the steel ones that come with it work, but easily rusted after the 1st time in the ground a whole 48 hours. All in all the tents great and lots of room. Looking forward to our next trip in a few weeks. Will maybe put out another review to see how it does in snow.
Great iteam . It could be a little shorter
when I travel, I’m always looking for an extra little paddle low pillow. This little bag was great. It fits my iPad when deflated. The problem is once you inflate it. It’s a little bit harder to fit my iPad. But why would I walk around with it inflated in the first place? I like that it has a bag within the bag that you can stuff it all into. It inflated pretty quickly and didn’t have any leaks. I sat on it just to make sure. Love the color green. I just wish it was a little bit bigger.
I found the ATEPA 650P Wearable Poncho would be best used in climates that have milder winters or for Fall use. It wasn't warm enough for my winter activities.
One of the best things about this oversized hoodie is that it has a self storage pouch sewn into it. This makes it perfect to pack in your car so you can go and grab it whenever you need it. The fabric is more sleeping bag style than hoodie style. Great to stay warm in these winter months.
