Say goodbye to flimsy air sickness bags

By Janice Wood · January 24, 2013 ·

Sporty’s has introduced a 21st century barf bag for general aviation pilots and their passengers.

Chuk-It is constructed of thick plastic with heat-sealed seams. It is extra large and can be used with only one hand thanks to Chuk-It’s stay-open top, according to Sporty’s officials.

Once used, Chuk-It’s zipper top seals securely ensuring no spills or smell in the cockpit. Not only is Chuk-It spill resistant, it won’t explode at altitude either, officials said. Chuk-It’s gusseted bottom allows it to stand upright until you can dispose of it.

“It’s not a glamorous product, but it’s one that has evolved over the years from the old-style paper bags now to the state-of-the-art Chuk-It,” says Sporty’s Vice President John Zimmerman. “Having some Chuk-Its on board is a great insurance policy. Chuk-Its contains the mess rather than creating an even bigger mess.”

A three-pack of Chuk-Its is available for $6.95 and a 10-pack of Chuk-Its is available for $14.95.

    Nice idea, reasonably cheap and I like that bright purple color. Why hide such an attractive accessory? LOL. It’s definitely a bonus that the Chuk-It won’t “explode at altitude” – not a pretty thought!
