Lomo Dry Bag Swimming Float
Lomo are my go-to brand for good quality swimming kit at bargain prices. On that theme, the Dry Bag Swimming Float certainly ticks both boxes.
This is a large float, with a capacious 57 x 27 cm space for your essentials. I easily fitted in a towel and a pair of flip flops, as well as my phone in a second waterproof pouch (just to be ultra sure it stayed dry!).
A lot of thought has gone into the construction of this float. Lomo have used high quality materials and RF-welded seams for strength and durability. An internal plastic skirt has been added to the entrance of the dry bag which seals it further against water ingress when rolled down.
There are two inflatable chambers. One on each side of the dry bag pouch and each with its own valve, meaning if one fails the buoy will still float.
Uniquely, this float also has a mesh pocket on the outside. While not waterproof, this is perfect for housing items you need to access mid-swim and don’t mind getting wet. I used it in testing for carrying my nutrition on longer swims.
The webbing strap is sturdy and attached with a carabiner. All in all, this is a quality tow float with many features at a great price.
