Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Floating 5L Dry Bag is an essential companion for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and water sports lovers who require reliable protection for their valuables against moisture and debris. Its key benefit is a 100% waterproof design that actually floats, keeping gear secure during kayaking or sailing trips; however, note that while it handles immersion well, it is not intended for prolonged underwater submersion.

FAQs
Is this bag completely submersible?
It is rated IP56, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets and heavy seas, but it is not intended for prolonged submersion.
How much can I fit in the 5L bag?
The 5L capacity is ideal for small personal items like a smartphone, a wallet, keys, a light jacket, or a first-aid kit.
Does it float even when full?
It will float as long as you trap enough air inside the bag before sealing the roll-top.
Can I use this for skiing or snowboarding?
Yes, the waterproof and dustproof design makes it excellent for keeping gear dry in snowy, cold conditions.
How do I clean the bag?
Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse with fresh water and let it air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Water seeped into the bag during use
Ensure the roll-top was folded at least three times before buckling; a single fold is insufficient to create a proper seal.
Buckle feels loose or won't click
Check the buckle mechanism for trapped sand or grit and rinse with clean water until the debris is removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the maximum waterproof effect, place your items inside, ensuring you leave enough room at the top to fold it properly. Fold the top edge down at least three times over itself, then snap the side-release buckle together to create a sealed chamber.
Care instructions are simple: after exposure to saltwater, mud, or grit, rinse the exterior with fresh water and wipe it down with a soft cloth. Allow the bag to air dry completely while open before storing it. Avoid storing the bag near sharp objects or excessive heat, as these can compromise the waterproof coating over time.
