In order to use your Voyager duffel bag properly, follow these steps: Roll the top of the bag down 3-4 times Buckle the sides down and clip them to the side of your bag so that it is closed Be sure to leave some air in the bag, as this is what keeps your gear buoyant in water and dry! ***It's important to note that our bags are not intended to be submerged underwater for more than a few seconds at a time, as our bags are designed to be buoyant and float above the water.
