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.

Yes it will! It's air tight. So it traps air in it that's what make it float. Also if I remember right it's submersible for 30 minutes

No this bag is not waterproof. The seams have a small strip of durable fabric in the stitching for strength and there is a fabric zipper so it isn't waterproof. Because it is mostly vinyl, you could call it "splash resistant" but that's as far as I'd go.

It does not float, my phone went straight to the bottom of the river, luckily it was only 8 feet deep. I suppose it's possible to make it float by stuffing foams inside, but with limited space, you might not be able to fit much. 4.7" Screen HTC One actually filled up the entire bag, leaving no room for anything else.

It is a Christmas gift, so we haven't tested it out yet, but it seems as though it would float. It is fairly light weight.

No it does not float... However, I have used an inner tube under them to cover the entire pool with them. One of the pictures shows this.

Well, it does not sink, but barely.It stays upright with the handle just under water.That´s on salt water. I have only tested it on the sea, so keep it in mind that the flotation will be different on lakes.

Yes this will float on the water if you accidentally drop it in since it has air inside it and the air doesn't easily get out (it will not instantly sink like a rock). However, I did a test on it (seeing your question) and if you leave it in for a while, it will start filling the inside with water and start sinking (I left it for an hour and it was 1/2 filled).

No, not at all. It's a good looking bag, get it and return it if u dot like. It's light and well builded. I looked many bags, and this one is the best by far. Check on YouTube someone did a review about the bag and brought on 2 different bags, that's also popular. I think after seeing that I knew what I needed. Good luck

No it does not float. The biggest down side to it is that it soaks up TOO much water. This makes if comfy and secure for the child but it is very heavy and hard to wring out.

No. The rating for this bag is "3" in OverBoard's own rating scale which means that it will float and is OK for "quick submersion". It is the industry IP66 standard. Like...your canoe tips and your bag is tossed out, floats for a moment before you grab it. OverBoard's submersion ratings of "4" [IP67]--1 meter; and "5" [IP68]--6 meters; do not apply to ANY bags of which I am aware--only hard cases. You can read more about the standards online.

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

I have never used it in the pool but it is pretty light. It seems that it would probably float. But like I said I have never tried it

Hi,This bag is not waterproof, only water resistant for a very short time. If you need a waterproof bag we offer them or bags with waterproof covers covers offer others on Amazon. Thanks

This is my second one of this style and I haven't had any issues. It may be because it is a deep bag. I use mine everyday.
