After a cruise trip to Mexico and the kids not being able to figure out how to keep their stuff safe and still go in the water, we got these for the next trip and to take on my SUP board. It's quite nice. I like that it's buoyant so I don't have to worry about it just being waterproof; if it falls in, I can actually still save my stuff. I like that it's bright orange, it has a front pocket for my phone that's clear and still waterproof, and I don't mind that it rolls down at the top for extra protection. I try to keep stuff in the main compartment that I don't need quick access to. It's pretty roomy but not bulky. I like the waist buckle too.

We are a “water couple”.We own a boat , jet skies, paddle boards and all the water toys you can imagine so anything that is water related “speaks our La Gaige.We have bourse eral dry bags in the past years and some have been a terrible disappointment and other not so much.This one is by far the best we have owned.Why!It really keeps the things dry. Thatythe main thing, right?It’s super spacious so we can fit a lot of stuff into it. The orange color makes it very visible.The see through is super helpful!The fact that you can inflate it and deflate it in seconds is great but specially inflating it is such a plus!!! If it falls out of the boat with a big wave, you don’t lose your stuff. If you want to swim in open waters and be visible, tie it to you!!!It’s just a clever design that works great and is well executed!!!

I didn't pay attention when ordering and thought I was getting another blow up personal buoy with a phone pocket. Instead, I got a dry bag buoy with a phone pocket. I was skeptical at first but it actually does keep things dry. It was easy to load and inflate. The phone pocket is truly waterproof as well.My Review Criteria: I do not review anything that I don't want/need for my own personal use and I have enough knowledge about it to provide accurate and useful details. I do tell it like it is and I am not influenced to provide feedback that isn't based on facts or my own experience. Therefore you can trust my unbiased review as if I were a friend looking out for your best interest and that of your hard-earned money.

This is a good-sized dry bag with a built-in float. Very quick to inflate with just a few deep breaths, and just as quick to deflate with a press of a button. These valves do not pull out, just blow directly into them to inflate, the little orange button at the center of the valve is for deflating. simply press to let the air out. This Orange Nylon PVC material is not to thin and seems durable, with no odor so that was good. Just make sure to keep it away from sharp objects though, especially when fully inflated. Make sure you don't have anything sharp inside, your phone case for example. Some phone cases have metal flip stands at the back that could puncture the dry bag if not fully folded back in. It's just a precaution only but do double check first before inflating. The dry bag with the clear touchable screen at the front is big but does not have a lot of depth, it should have enough room for your phone or small mini-tablet. The waterproof zipper is a little sticky and hard to open initially, so just try to be a little careful not to use excessive force. I used one hand to hold down one end while slowly pulling the zipper the opposite way to prevent ripping out the pocket by accident. Once it's opened a few times, it should be easier to open or close. Do make sure to zip up this zipper properly all the way to keep water out. Plenty of room inside if using this just as a dry bag only. Once inflated, and depending on how much air is inflated with, that does take up quite a bit of room so keep that in mind. There is also a little handle on the back to tie the straps around, it's big enough for most hands but once you have the strap on, most people would just use the strap instead. Overall, this is a very nice, large enough dry bag, it does a good job keeping the water out with the convenience of a touchscreen pocket at the front for easy access to your phone. The built-in float is a great idea too, I know I will be using it next time going to the beach.

Spacious storage space, about the size of a small purse. The more items inside, the less inflatable the buoy. This buoy has an easy blow hole that you could inflate in 10 seconds without tools. Holds air great. The material is strong and durable. The hunter orange color is great for visability. The included belt is flimsy but will do -- fits any size waist up to 52" circumference.This buoy works great for taking along in a kayak/canoe, or when you're out in the water at the beach but don't want to leave valuables unattended.

Allows swimmers to keep their essentials dry and accessible. This buoy significantly enhances safety and visibility, making it an invaluable tool for open water swimmers and triathletes during training and competitions.

I own another brand of safety float that inevitably always leaks water into the chamber, so I have to keep my car key in a waterproof bag inside the float. The waterproof zipper on his safety float solves the problem I have with the other float and provides a nice see-through window for your items. The color is great for swimming open water, providing a nice visible float behind the swimmer. The strap works well and is long enough to drag behind. I have not yet tested the waterproof chamber with my phone and will probably put it in a ziplock bag when I do, but so far it has proven to be waterproof. The zipper is definitely hard to open and close but that's the nature of waterproof zippers. This swim buoy is a lot larger than the other two I have, which is fine for swimming, and provides a larger visibility area to bring to the attention of boats and kayaks. These safety buoys will not save someone who can't swim - but it provides a nice buoyant support if you stop in open water and want to tread for a bit.
