Has anyone on here ever tried one of these suits? I know it won't hold pressure or inflate very big, but as much as I love inflatable latex suits, I can't afford one. These actually look like an affordable alternative to me. I know they have portable fans built in, but maybe if you could find a way to hook up an air pump or shop vac, maybe you could get a little pressure feeling out of them. Heck maybe you could inflate a little bigger too. So has anyone tried one?

I just bought a Blimpz suit 2 days after Halloween for 50% off at a Spirit Halloween store, and I am pretty satisfied with it. While it doesn't hold pressure the way a multi-layered suit would, it does hold enough pressure to somewhat limit your movements. If you've never had an inflatable suit before, this is a good place to start for the price. It isn't perfect but I don't think you'll be unhappy with it.
Before I bought my rubber inflatable suits, I was using the fan-powered sumo suits, which are made of the same lightweight nylon as these 'morphsuits' or 'Blimpz suits'. I used my wet/dry vac to inflate it, which worked a lot better than the fan, except you have to keep the vacuum running, which can be noisy and puts strain on the motor. Also, the material will not stretch, as it is a woven fabric. If you want bigger, use a sewing machine.
