Pleasantly surprised! This bag is very well built with good material. I suppose users with bad experiences didn't put much thought in the way they filled and tightened it. Leaving the front of it to flap around in 60mph + wind will damage even the best material and over-tightening the straps will fatigue any stitching, no mater how well done. Think aerodynamics when packing it and don't think more is better when applying force to the corner straps. I recommend adding one or two long nylon straps going fully around the bag and the roof racks or roof basket to keep the whole thing flatter and from flapping in the wind , and of course any sharper object will need to be padded with something soft.
Also, keep this bag open and outside for a few days unless you like breathing in toxic PVC fumes.
Did not experience rain but the large overlap over the zippers would make it hard for water to creep in I suppose, but in the front as the wind lifts it up, making the use of the extra straps I recommended probably a good idea again
