That's going to depend on how you use it. If you put heavy items in it and/or squeeze all the air out of it, then no. If you put reasonable weight in it and maximize the air in it when you roll it closed, then yes, it should float.

Not sure, depends on the amount of air you leave in the bag when you purge it & the weight of the contents. In my application of containing a rain suit, jacket, a pair of shorts & roll of toilet paper, I'd say YES. Designed to keep water out, but don't think floating for an extended period is an offering.

It doesn't have a waterproof zipper, but it seals pretty well when it is folded over properly. I think it would float for a while, but it will eventually let water in.

Never put it in the water - but it's pretty heavy...It probably won't float - but I'm not positive.

I know exactly what you are talking about! You can definitely float on it w/o getting wet. I LOVE mine!!!

We think it would make a fine ditch bag. Its going to float some but thats going to depend on what you fill it with. The bag itself does not have any flotation built into it.

I haven't had that problem. My only suggestion is to make sure there is plenty of suction, the bag is clean when you start and make sure the unit sinks all the way to the bottom and is level.

Yes it floats. It also has a small loop on the underside if you wanted to tether it to something We have used these on several trips and I am amazed at how comfortable they are for their size. Even after a few hours on the water my arms are tired but not my back side.

It would be very difficult to purge the bag completely of air, and as a result the bag is almost sure to float while containing assorted personal items--provided you follow the instructions with regard to rolling the opening. Larger size bags make decent pillows or even floatation devices in a pinch.

Mindy, I have never noticed anything floating from any of my kits and I've done quite a few. I don't know if maybe something was in the bag or if something may have fallen into your bucket as you were beginning your primary. If its something of concern that may possibly contaminate the wine, I would recommend contacting amazon for a replacement. I hope this helps. Good luck with your wine!

If you seal it with air trapped inside it will float. I had my Samsung phone and car keys in it and the pack still floated fine.

To go honest I don't know because we use ours in the yard. But the way it's made makes me think it should float.

No it does not float. It is made from machined aluminum and is actually quite heavy.

Not when I received it, but after a month it had water inside and would not float. I would suggest trying another product.

Hello Well, my husband and I both squeezed onto the float together for a picture. We were a bit wide for the float, but it worked. And it held our combined 420 lbs. with no problem. Very seaworthy. Just an FYI:when on the float, you sit very much above the water. No part of me gets wet unless I splash myself or get splashed. I'm 5'9" and it's plenty long. Hope this helps.

When rolled & cinched correctly, yes, it is completely waterproof...that said, I would HIGHLY recommend adding 1 more layer of protection for very expensive/valuable items, just to be safe. Anything even as simple as 1 of those waterproof bags or boxes you can pick up at Walmart & make sure you test it in your tub or something before using it in case of defects (they happen). We filled the tub & left it submerged overnight w/a towel in it before our rafting trip. This is a GREAT bag!

Mine has held up. It gets really squeezed when in its bag. It takes a little while for it to bounce back to its shape but always has.

They will definitely float. Same kind of styrofoam that you would find in a bean bag
