The Hail Airbag will come with two layers, where the bottom one will remain strapped to your vehicle’s tires for obvious reasons, while the outer layer will inflate to offer an instant protective shell. It will inflate using your breath – no, I’m kidding, but rather, it will rely on a quartet of blowers that are powered by a tiny compressor. The compressor itself can run on either AA batteries, a car’s cigarette lighter or an AC outlet, where it will remain idle until the vehicle’s owner decide to activate it via remote control. The inflation will not be instant, but it will take around 5 minutes to fully inflate, where by then it is touted to be able to repel hail that is roughly the size of a softball. Depending on the make of your ride, the Hail Airbag will retail anywhere from $299 to $399.
