Review Summary:
A very nice looking and well made bag. On my M50 Black, the 1/2" back pad works perfect for me. I cinch it up pretty snug when I put it on and it stays put (does not shift from side to side on the seat as I read in some reviews). Rode 85 miles today, which was a very windy day. With the added back support, I just let the bag take the weight of the wind against my chest. No sore wrists or aching fore arms from holding onto the bars with a tight grip and fighting the wind. The side bags were a little hard to install, but my hands are very big. Went to the store the other day and the main compartment held 2 half gallons of ice cream, 2 one pound bags of salad and one large loaf of bread. Nice for picking small items up, but you may want a larger bag for the big trips. It makes a great back support and makes the longer rides more comfortable, and for that reason I wanted to give it 5 Stars. The only reason I did not give it 5 Stars is that the top openings of the main compartment are on the small side. I would redesign the bag with one large opening and have the top part of the back support frame easily removeable/replaceable for putting larger items in it.
