Ok had time to try it out both on road and on rough roads.

It is a good size for the bikes I have - especially as they have panniers racks which saves a lot of worry about setting it on fire.

I would say the quality of manufacture is ok - its not a £300 bag and I am sure it won't last of you are using it daily - but for what I need and the price it is great.
The big plus for me is the fact that you have 3 compartments which can be opened, unlike the roll bag which I always struggle getting to stuff as I have put it at the bottom
It also means you can even out the weight, placing heavier stuff in the outer pockets. It needs a bit of thought though as the outer pockets are the ones to take a knock when I fall off on the rough stuff.

I put in the central pocket 
Sleeping bag, roll bag, oxford tank bag (as I was using this on the trails.  That about fills the central portion.  Obviously I would substitute the tank bag for a waterproof bag of clothes , jetboil stove , plate , cup - that would be it.

The outer pockets are long enough to take a pair of 371mm tyre levers
aka http://www.adventure-spec.com/default/t ... lever.html

From the pics you can see I have put the 2.6kg 2 man tent - there is a useful elastic webbing ideal for this.

The bag comes with a combination of looped straps - for me 1 at each corner attached to the pannier rack made it very stable. (on an Africa twin and varadero)

Takes about 3 minutes to remove and 4-5 to put back on.
There is a decent handle for carrying it from the bike.

I didn't really feel the weight on the few trails I tried and i didn't fall of so I  cant comment on if it effects picking the bike up. I managed to get it set at the back of the topbox rack so it doesn't impede on movin my weight around on the bike too.
It was fine on road and I didn't notice it.
The underneath of the bag is made from a rough feel plastic which makes it stay on the seat.

The downside to the bag is it doesn't Quite get the weight down low on the bike like a set of panniers would.
It isn't waterproof (not really tried)
The underneath of the bag isn't fireproof / melt proof.

For the price and flexibility it's a winner for me.
