If it's opened up, but you're not using it, does it float? Or is that not
a feature I should focus on?

Mine came with an attachment cord that ties conveniently to my wader belt.
Coincidentally enough, however, my son was using it on our last trip north,
and didn't tie it on. I was wading down the river & came across a
half-floating Folstaff hung up on some rocks. It was mine.
