Floatation bags are important even if your kayak has waterproof bulkheads as hatch covers may accidentally come undone, causing the compartment to flood. In a flooded kayak, floatation bags displace water which means that you will do a lot less pumping to empty the kayak. For touring kayakers, some floatation bags have dual chambers and a large opening allowing you to use the bag for dry storage of gear. |
