Inflatable costumes
A dinosaur, a unicorn, an alien carrying a person or a two-metre gorilla will turn heads at parties, company events and in the stands. Inflatable costumes take on their full shape as soon as a small fan is switched on. They come in sizes for adults and children and include animals, fantasy characters, food and large mascot costumes.
Inflatable costumes
Inside every costume is a battery-powered fan that keeps blowing air in and holds the costume inflated. Most models need four AA batteries, which are often not included. The costume usually inflates in about a minute.
Sizes are given by the wearer's height. One-size costumes for adults fit roughly 150 to 190 cm, while children's costumes are usually for a height of around 110 to 145 cm. Large mascot costumes such as a gorilla or monkey stand two to three metres tall and have their own recommended height range.
Dinosaurs, unicorns, cows and sharks are popular, as are costumes that make it look as if the wearer is being carried by an alien or the Grim Reaper. They suit carnivals, Halloween, stag and hen parties and promotional events.
When wearing inflatable costumes, bear in mind that they restrict side vision and make it hard to get through narrow doors. The fan must stay uncovered and should not be blocked by clothing. After the event, switch the costume off, let it deflate and store it dry.
