Durable, waterproof and as stable as you can expect from a strapped seatpack. That means it does sway, the fuller it is the more you notice it. And it’s big, too big to fill up completely and ride comfortably if you ask me.
There’s a smaller QR (quick release) version as well, which is much more stable. I personally prefer that one if you can spare the extra space.

The QR version absolutly doesnt have any sway or sag as it has some stable plastic parts to it. BUT it’s 13L but worth to me for no sway and sag

I have the 2019 version, and have had no problems with it. I’ve learned to pack stuff flat into it (instead of rolling up clothing), so clothing half-overlaps by layers (like brick laying). Helps prevent some sag. The extra strap on the exterior makes a huge difference too – thread through the end of the bag, around the seat post and back to the latch. With the strap there’s enough support for a light pair of shoes secured on the outside.
In general, the sway is fine – I’m touring, not riding crazy MTB trails.
I’m not able to kick my leg over the bag when getting on the bike. I need to step through over the top bar.

have an older one, quality is good but I would suggest getting the extra strap to prevent sagging. At home it is easy to pack perfectly but in the morning, packing up camp you’re just gonna push it in and hope for the best 🙂
That said, did a summer trip with it on my race bike, going doing from a mountain, you will feel it in the corners, it will push you out of the corners a bit, depending on speed
