If you're looking for space, durability, and great price point these are the saddlebags for you!
Size/Volume:
I'm a chick, so I apologize if this doesn't make sense to the men. Having said that I was able to pack a pair of high heeled peep toes, a pair of knee high boots, a knee length evening dress, and a pair of leggings in just ONE saddlebag, with room to spare. I had enough space in both the saddle bags to pack for a 3 day weekend, where one of those evenings required me to be dressed up. I had more than enough space in these saddlebags to pack for a week away and go shopping.

Durability:
I encountered torrential downpour, hail and high winds riding to and from my destination points. The saddlebags were stable on the back, the straps over the backseat held them in place and the clips did an amazing job of keeping the bags from flapping in the wind. The bottom of the bag which was over my exhaust did not burn nor did it feel like it would. The rain covers which came with the bags did an AMAZING job of keeping everything in the saddlebags dry.

Size on the bike:
I didn't feel the weight of the bags at all. I evenly distributed the contents amongst both the bags and didn't feel any lag on the bike while riding. It felt like it was a part of the bike.

Ease of Installation:
Once you've adjusted the 3 main straps to the appropriate length the first time, it only takes about a minute to put these on the back of the bike and buckle them in.

Carrying convenience:
The handle straps and attachable shoulder straps make it easy to carry into your destination when off the bike.

I would highly recommend these bags, especially at the price point offered.

Bought this tank bag at the beginning of the season and use it every time I get on the bike. It's magnets make it super easy to just plop on the tank and go. For every day riding I just use it for my wallet, phone, and other little things like gum and lip balm. It's easy enough to take the strap out and use it as a backpack when off the bike. On days where you need to pack a little more, there's enough space to pack a pair of high heeled pumps, a dress shirt, a pencil skirt and all your every day items. I have ridden in hail and rain with this bag, and although it's not waterproof, it's incredibly water resistant, my electronics were able to stay dry. I absolutely love this bag and recommend it for everyday riding!

Pleasurable riding even in the hottest months of the year is the concept behind the new Shotgun Tex Lady jacket that ensures comfortable aeration with numerous openings. Construction in stretch Mugello fabric guarantees a constantly tight and perfect fit developed expressly for the female body while preventing floating during the ride. The liner provided with silver ion treatment ensures elevated and long-lasting hygiene. Composite protectors on the shoulders and elbows, the pocket for the G-type back protector, and the jacketpants fastening zipper complete the technical profile of this technical jacket with outstanding performance. Shock Protection Removable composite protectors certified to EN 1621.1/97 Standard. Abrasion And Tear Resistance Mugello fabric. Boomerang mesh inserts. Nylon mesh inserts. Comfort Adjustment strap on neck. Wrist adjustment. Waist adjustment. Temperature Regulation External fabric with water-resistance treatment. Sanitized lining. Other Features Pocket for Wave G1 and G2. Reflective inserts. 2 outer pockets.

I'm a squid by nature, but this jacket changed my mind.

I live in Toronto, Canada, and after 7 years of riding, have only recently tried to wear gear in the summer. I've never enjoyed the bulky look of gear for women, and I'll be honest, I'm vain, and want to look and feel like a girl. But this jacket has completely changed my point of view.
Size:
I'm about 130lb, at 5'5, 34b chest, 30 inch waist, and 36 hips. I work out a lot and have a muscular back and shoulders for someone my size, so I ordered a size 42 and it fits perfectly. If my back and shoulders weren't so built, I think a 40 would have fit. The sleeves are only slightly too long, about an inch, but the elbow gear still sits where it should when I'm in riding position on the bike.

The sleeves are only slightly too long, about an inch, but the elbow gear still sits where it should when I'm in riding position on the bike.
Fit:
Because of the fitted lines down the back I found it enhances my curves. The material is fitted and stretchy, kinda like jeggings, so if you're wearing a padded bra or a tshirt bra it still works. Whereas I found my Scorpion textile doesn't allow for certain bras.

Style, comfort, airflow:
The mesh on the sides really gives the jacket the amount of airflow needed on hot and humid days, but because of the solid material in the front of the chest, it still keeps you warm enough when it cools down at night. I find it to be a great summer jacket especially when the temp transitions from hot to cool throughout the day.

Protection: If you're looking to this jacket for maximum protection, you're buying it for the wrong reason. It's meant to be for light, minmum protection. It comes with the shoulder gaurds, and elbow forarm gaurds, both of which are removable. The material seems like it would take some road impact, but not much.
All in All, I personally love this jacket!. If you're like me, and would rather wear SOMETHING over NOTHING but still maintain that feminine physique in the summer, this is the jacket for you.
Rides: 2006 Honda CBR600F F4I
Yes, I recommend this product.

Does this come with a removeable liner for cooler temps?
Out of the box, the jacket did not come with a liner. I don't know if one is offered for this jacket though.

Water-resistant and can hold a small 13" laptop?
Wondering how water resistant the bag is and if I can get my small 13" laptop in there?
I rode with it through an hour/ so of downpour and hail and a few items in the bag were damp. The bag is certainly water-resistant, but not water proof. I'm able to squeeze my little asus netbook into the bag, and fit my wallet and phone, makes the zipper a little odd to zip up though due to the shape.
