Using the bag model to first order in αs we find that if ligth gluinos exist they will appear as constituents of electrically charged bound states which are stable against strong interaction decay. We review the present experimental constraints and conclude that light, long-lived charged hadrons containing gluinos might exist with lifetimes between 2 × 10−8 and 10−14s.
