Does this bag float while loaded?

The bag will float when loaded with items that are less dense than water. So as long as you don't fill your bag with rocks or other heavy items it will float.

If loaded with clothing and properly sealed - it should do. If loaded with heavy gear/ballast/etc - no. As Colin already replied, items lighter than water will float.

Unsure for I have never tried it, but I have had it in the rain and it does repel rain from getting into any of the compartments. Hope this is some help for I do enjoy this backpack!!!Regards,Terry L. Shook

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.

I did not weigh the bag before we filled it with stuff, but it was fairly light. Now, after stuffing it with equipment, not so much.

I don't know if it floats. It was too small for what I needed, so I packed it away and don't know where. Sorry.

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.

Once the boat is inflated it is not bad to handle. My wife and I easily can carry it. When the boat is deflated and in the bag is a bit heavy. I store the boat in bag with the floor separately. This make it easier to move around.

Yes, that is exactly what the legs do. When the legs come out, the bag sits on the ground at a 45 degree angle. When you pick it up, the legs retract back to the bag.

Yes it floats but has to be hands down the heaviest paddle around. Very heavy duty but not made for smaller/weaker paddlers.

I have seen it float with my supplies in side...but I do not think it is submersible.

I think it would float if you sealed it up good, but it is top heavy so it will probably tip over and not stay upright.

Not unless you have something in it. This is just a bag with no internal structure. It will lay flat empty.

Actually I do just the opposite of most answers here, By not filling it up I get a better seal but I leave the air in it. Not only does that get a nice seal it also allows the bag to float in most cases.

Yes it does. Between the upright bars in front of the bag there is a bar that has a swivel point you push to collapse it. No problem.

no it doesn't. I've tested that with my granddaughter, packages, and diaper bags and it seem to hold its own balance

I haven't tested it on floating, but buoyancy is pretty straightforward. There is no foam or any other material that makes this case likely to float if the object inside would normally sink. I generally do leave a pocket of air in the bag when I seal it up, both to increase buoyancy and to make the screen work better when the case is wet. Test it in the bathtub/sink to see if your tablet floats, AFTER you test your individual bag to make certain that it seals properly.

Hmmm, I didn't get a carry/storage bag with mine. Didn't even notice that there was supposed to be one! Love the float though!

Yes, but it depends on how and where you use it. If you pack it neat and well there's a good chance it will stay erect when full, but when completely empty it will easily tip over.
