"I got these bags when they were first introduced. Before the plastic strap clasp, Before the zip-off yoke, and before the handles. It's nice to see they have only gotten better with each improvement. I have cleaned them with leather soap annually and oiled them annually as well. They hold up amazing!! and weather nicely and have turned into exactly what I wanted. I would buy these again in a heartbeat. Except with this quality, I may never have to. I will be keeping the bags even if I sell the bike. LOL!"
