I got one from Dan on TheSamba:

I ditched the straps that came with it and use bungees to hold it down, which works well when snaked through the various loops stitched onto the top of the bag.

It has been through snow (including a terrible Kansas blizzard), rain, and blazing heat, and is still in excellent shape. I mainly use it to carry camp chairs and other durable stuff. The zippers are heavy-duty, it's got a no-skid bottom, and fits pretty well; it is a little bit short (doesn't fill up the whole luggage rack) but works perfectly for me. Joe T.
