Vinnibag Inflatable Travel Bag.
Vinnibag Inflatable Travel Bag — How do you safely get bottles of aged Italian wine or pure olive oil back home after a coastal holiday? Not rolled up in a hotel towel, but in an inflatable, reusable Vinnibag. Liquids, fine collectible items and any fragile valuables will be safe in a reusable Vinnibag in checked luggage. VinniBag is TSA-friendly and was engineered specifically to withstand air travel and high altitudes. The design and materials allow for significant changes in air pressure and temperatures. Sophisticated testing was done at an independent test lab using altitude chambers that surpass normal conditions in aircraft cargo holds. Packing one is easy. Travellers stick items in the bag, inflate it with a few breaths of air, snap the bag closed, pack in their travel bag, and then deflate when they get home. Vinnibags can be reused as an ice pack, a smartphone holder in water, or even a bath pillow. vinnibag.com
