It'll float you, just not necessarily face up. I ride with an O'Neill Boost and it probably has the least flotation of any vest. I love it 'cause it's so light and doesn't get in the way. But a lot of people that I ride with don't like it because they don't feel it floats them enough. Also, people new to the sport don't seem to like non cga vests either because they tend to struggle with the jacket because it doesn't provide a ton of flotation.
