NerfVortex Mega Football Aero Howler - Assorted Colours

We spend a lot of time outdoors and when my son doesn’t want to bring his football, he’ll insist on bringing this to play.We’ve had a number of generic versions bought from bargain and toys shops before but none ever seems to last, either the tail fins break off or the main body disintegrates. When we finally decided to spend a bit more money on this one, we wished we bought it first time. It’s extremely durable, having been pulled out of bushes and abused through incorrect throwing techniques, it is still 100% intact and ready for the next outing.My only complaint is that we wished the whistles were louder, however this does encourage us to throw it better and higher for the better whistling effect. A great outdoor toy and head turner at campsites.

Durable and fun quality looks and feels good time will tell to see how long it won’t last.

Present for 8yrs old but we’ve used on beach with all ages and everyone loves it.It’s given us hour of fun and develops throwing and catching as it makes both really easy. It’s basically impossible to mess up a throw and due the the design even a weak throw goes a long way, meaning mixed groups can play together.Whistle is a bit of fun too, and not too loud.

Tail detached after some usage and needed supergluing back in but otherwise it flies well. Can be launched straight armed like a cricket bowl or thrown like a baseball pitch. Either way is is stable and has good range.

Can’t go wrong with a Nerf Rocket! The only downer is that the whistle does make you feel like you are annoying people around you. Especially when camping. Great product though - makes you feel like Brett Favre.

TL;DR: well built, not too loud and great fun!-----I used to have a very similar product when I was a young lad, so when I saw this on a daily deal I couldn't resist.My old one was piercingly loud and it used to annoy my folks pretty bad, so I was glad to see that the noise has been toned down with this newer edition - though it is worth noting that you can still hear a slight whistle when it's thrown, so the old joy is still there!The football is very well built and I have no worries of letting anyone have a go, however big their biceps are, this should be up to the task.Have had a few sessions with friends and the fun nostalgia is there without the annoying noise for those who are near you but not playing!-----If you found this review useful, I'd really appreciate a helpful vote!

The Vortex Aero Howler has been great fun, you can throw it pretty far if you have a good arm and it can be thrown accurately. The name "Howler" is a bit misleading as the sound effect isn't massive or much of a howl but it does add to the product. The quality is very good, you can throw it in many ways including from the tail fins - very solidly attached and it has landed from great heights without any damage. It is quite heavy and relativity hard - you wouldn't be wanting to hit any kids in the head with it that's for sure... It can sting your hands quite a bit if you catch it wrong.. I would say it's more for ages 8+. Great fun, keeps you fit, gets you outside so recommend for sure!

Overall it's a great product, really fun. Just disappointed that the one I was sent was blue and grey. Please take note of the various colours in the description as I was sent a blue grey very drab item.Really doesn't match the product photos, would be good if buyers were aware of the many colour variations you can be sent.
