Fairly light, and quite rugged. The "only" problem is that the rubber comes off the attachment hooks wich then eat into the racks. Can also scratch the paintwork on the bike if installed carlessly. The rain covers work well enough, but the "rubberized splash plates" do very little against road splash.

The flexible cords on top of them are great for keeping bananas, bags of potato chips, maps and everything else that's fairly light and good to have available. After a bit of thinking I mounted mine up front and put my smaller bags in the back wich worked well except for cornering.

Roomy and good but easy to overload I guess.
