Just returned from a 450+ mile trip using the Highland Duffel. The duffel (and contents) remained totally dry despite traveling through a moderate rain storm. The cover must have been improved since earlier reviews, because mine was undamaged following the trip.

Good Value, Kept the Water Out
rating: 4
We used two of these bags on a recent trip. Strapped them to the top of our MDX, went over 400 miles in the rain and they kept the water out. I agree with the other review, the cover drawstring should be more durable and easier to draw tight. Did not experience any of the "peeling" or "flaking" of the coating on the inside of the bag or the cover that some of the reviews I have read on other sites mention. Overall a very good product. Hard to beat the convenience of wheeling them around, they held alot, and you pack directly into them. The top flap of the bag has a built in clear plastic pocket that closes. Worked very well for holding cosmetics, shampoo, and pretty much everything else that would be in a man's shaving bag or woman's cosmetic bag. Two bags held all the clothing and linens for a family of 6 for 10 days in the cold with some room to spare. We definitely would recommend them. I would also recommend buying the bags separately as the two bag set only comes with one big cover instead of the two individual covers.

Made it cross-country!
rating: 4
This bag was great. Since we stuffed this bag full, having wheels was much appreciated. We used it on top of a GTI volkswagon. I couldn't believe it but the bag never moved from where we had it fastened. Some of the speed limits we went through were as high as 80 mph. Although the dust cover didn't make it, the extra space this bag provided was very useful.
The dust cover is not as durable as the actual bag. It ended up ripping on our way back from CA to FL. Another problem with the dust cover is that the drawstring that tightens the cover around the bag, gets stripped. We had to put duct tape on the drawstring to keep it tight.
All in all, great bag, loose the dust cover. It's a waste of time.
