🏊 15L IDRYBAG Safety Swim Buoy Adult Tow Float - Ideal for Triathletes Training in Open Water. Inflatable Float buoy for Safe Swimming, Kayaking, Boating, Canoeing, Rafting, Surfing, Fishing, and Floating. Review

Have been long distance swimming in ocean for years. Finally bought this buoy when I joined a swim group and saw others using. Its a great product, and fills a real need. Everything feels rugged on this and works well and is adjustable. I bike to the beach wearing like a messenger bag. I keep deflated for water entry (to get thru waves) and can easily blow it up when I'm far enough out. The waist is easy to adjust, I wear it a little slack so can move from front crawl to back easily. On my…

The product description mentions that the waist belt is adjustable. This is true. However, the strap that connects the belt to the buoy is not, and it's a bit longer than I would prefer. This was pretty easily solvable by simply tying a knot in the strap, so this isn't a big deal, just a minor annoyance.What is a big deal is that after having only used this about five times, I brought it out one day to find that it wasn't holding air. I thought I must have accidentally punctured it, but when I…

I should have known when I went in to buy my second one (possibly third, I can’t remember) that it wasn’t just a one off defect. The clip that holds the bag to the belt broke off after my first surf entry - on both bags. Fine, I used a carabiner in place of the snap. This is also the second bag that has literally busted at the seams and left a quarter sized hole hemorrhaging air. I discovered this most recent hole on a choppy day when I really needed the rest, but the buoy was nothing more than

This is the 4th different safety float that I have owned since they first came out (about 10 years ago). The original had the best design, that was only purchased from the International Swimming Hall of Fame. This is the best replicate to it. All of the pieces are attached, so you won’t lose the waist band and the inflate, deflate dry bag part is brilliantly designed to hold the air in when you aren’t blowing in before you put the cap on. You can flip the cap over and it helps deflate easily…

I was happy with this buoy at first but then it just burst apart. I didn't put much effort at all when that happened, so I guess it's been glued really poor

It's a rather big buoy, so if you're more into fast, competitive training you might want to look for a smaller one. You can store quite a bit in it (most I did was 1l water bottle, flip flops, phone, small bottle of sunscreen a shirt and a small camping towel.) but electronics definitely have to go in a real dry bag as the storage compartment IS NOT WATERPROOF!The straps is rather long, which I like, since if comes handy when resting on the buoy from time to time.

I’ve tried a few brands- really happy with this one. The swivel hook allows the buoy to move around in wind and waves without getting tangled

Awful, I wish I could figure out how to return this. I thought it was wonderful until a seam split after just 4 or 5 swims and it start to deflate immediately. Sad.

As a triathlete since 2006, how have I NEVER owned one of these? A must for practice in open water. I now feel so much safer and boaters and kayakers can see me. It also provides a respite when I need to take a small break. Not a life preserver yet it makes me feel more comfortable. I love the bright yellow color too. Excellent craftmanship too!

I loved this buoy, which I purchased on April 1. Kept me safe during my lake swims. I was super careful with it, rinsing it and hanging it between each swim. Used it about 1-2 times per week. But today, after only 3 months, I noticed it wasn't holding air. Then I realized the seam had split, leaving a 1/2 inch hole along the side.I messaged the company and they responded quickly that I had received a defective product, and quickly sent me a replacement buoy. I just received it yesterday, and…

On our second buoy, first one replaced due to a hole and now second buoy has a hole. Poor craftsmanship. Had to order another but went with different vendor.

I bought this in response to Covid-19's closure of all local pools in my area. It worked incredibly well! I put my phone, keys, glasses, and towel inside the dry bag and everything stayed dry. The strap is long enough so that the buoy doesn't affect your stroke. The strap is also long enough to fit around the waist if you are a larger person. It also floats very easily and I never worried about losing it. I highly recommend it!

The blue plastic at the top came unsealed, and then the plastic buckle fell off the dry bag. It's no longer possible to seal the bag.

Don't trust this swim bouy. The side broke on the third use, leaving it flat and useless. Luckily, we were close to shore. Had this happened further out during a long swim, it could have been devastatingly disastrous.

Color is perfect for standing out in an open water swim. Material is thick. Stores clothes & valuable items and remains completely dry.Inflates easily & deflates in seconds for folding flat storage.

Works just as described. Makes me more comfortable on open-water swims to be high vis. Inflate/deflate easy, waterproof so far (about 15 swims). Only improvement suggestion would be tapering the strap end to reduce drag.

My son uses this for open water swimming and it works great. Great heavy material. Well worth it for his safety! That's my review!

Your product is of poor quality, all of them are punctured, so the steam is released. So disappointing. Thanks for attention.

Junk.Worst product over! It popped mid swim and I returned it. They gave me a new one and after just 3 swims it popped again! Terrible product as the seams pop.

So far this works great! I’ve used this everyday for a month now and haven’t had any problems. Although I have never tried storing anything in it. I’ve tried a different brand that’s about 5 dollars more and it didn’t hold up past two weeks.
