They work good as long as their packed tightly. Mountain addiction gets my vote.
I've got both bags. I just bought the 19L bag last week, as I'm starting to carry my DSLR camera and a few lenses around with me to do some filming. The 10L wasn't enough volume for my survival kit, food, water, extra gloves/hat and my camera. As stated by Dooitorbust, you definitely need to pack it well and use the compression strap to keep everything in it's place. As such, I have a Patagonia puff jacket that I use as the last piece to go in as padding and an extra warmth layer if I need it. If you were in Calgary, I'd sell you the 10L.

put water bottles in a wool sock....... keeps them from being punctured and also gives you spare socks in that "just in case" scenario.
Scotch Guard the chit out of the bag after you get it to help with water repellant

I sprayed my arctic cat one anyways, even though it claimed "water proof"

Nope. Not 100 percent waterproof. I put my "must stay dry stuff" inside a dry sack like kayaker's use inside the bag. Works good. That way if a water bottle or something else leaks your stuff stays dry. You need to fill it to keep your stuff from bouncing around and getting destroyed. Overall the bag works good. Would be nice if they had a shovel mount on the outside. If I was to do it again I would go mountain addiction.

Keeping things packed tight also prevents the bag from tearing itself apart over time with items thrashing around. Extra gloves or layers should be just fine. Just my opinion.

IMO they would work great for trail riding and touring. I had one on my mountain sled and with the whooped out trails and rolling it over when stuck it broke out the bottom of the bag. Got one replaced on warrantee and the other one started to also. When my wife upgrades sleds I will put one on hers for sure but I went to a powder keg this year on mine and so far it is great. One trip west.

Love mine. No issues as of yet. I carry two 3 piece knife sets, hatches, saw, tow straps, spare belt for C3 and drive belt, flares, first aid kit and some other random stuff. It's not packed tight, lots of bouncing around. Other than chit being everywhere after riding I'm impressed with how it's holding up.

If there weight in them they rip apart on the whoops. After wrecking one I got smart. All my Tools. Bolts. Hack saw blade is now in a heavy leather shaving case. I drilled and bolted it to the bottom of the bag. Spare gloves. Waters and a ton of other stuff in it. Then I took a short bungie cord and I strap from the top handle of the bag to my Linq gas can. Now the storage bag is tight and doesn't move. 5200 km on mine last year and no cracks on the bottom. My first bag lasted 3 months till the bottom was all cracked from rocking back and forth. The plastic base is strong enough to drill a few more holes and then put small straps to hold heavier stuf on the bottom from thrashing around.

Thanks for the info guys, after reading your input on these I decided to throw down and get her one. Picked up the 19L bag and have to say there's a ton of room in this bag, I think she will like it. Does anyone have the glove box extension on their sled? The wife loves lots of storage for her girly things (lipstick, makeup, Carmex, etc) and am thinking the extension with the liner installed just might be the ticket.

I have the extension. It works pretty good to. Kinda funny looking though

I have had good luck with my 10L bag. I also put the glove box extension on. It looks a little goofy but lots of room for water or gloves or whatever you want. It looks like it may help seal it up a little too. Keep some of the fine snow out maybe. I don't have the liner in it but would like to hear from someone who has one. I also put on the bag on the back of the seat. It works pretty good. I'll post some pics when i get a chance.

Right on, I'd be interested in seeing how that attaches to the seat and how useful it is.

It just clips onto the under side of the rear baggage compartment of the seat plus a couple hooks towards the front. I took the lid off the stock trunk and then it can be accessed through a zipper in the bottom of the bag. It won't hold a ton of stuff but it does make a huge difference over the stock one.
