I've never had a T2 or Baileys leak in the rain. If CW wants to have their flap as a seperate piece from the rest of the bag,then all they have to do is extend the linerall the way up the back to the end of the flap. Attaching the the liner to the flap,then sewing it to the back piece makes a seam all the way through.

This only work with very small bags. I don't think they make a rain jacket large enough to fit a 6' tall rider and cover a med or large size bag. The T2 is equal to the CW for half the price. The Baileys is superior for the same price.
