When I first got my solo bag, I posted rave reviews on this very forum strongly endorsing them.
Much time has passed. Here are my thoughts now.
You'll definitely need some type of product to treat the leather. Mine faded terribly from normal sun exposure.
My bag also began to sag quite a bit as the leather lost its firmness over time...similar to my wife's breasts.
The softened leather also caused the bag to "flap" in the wind.
End result? The bag is off the bike after having only being on it for maybe a year.
I'm not sayin' nothin, I'm just sayin'...

After the OP review, I ordered one last week. Now I am concerned it won't last. Sonny, is your bag with the "new, heavier" leather that he is using now?
I was planning on using the leather conditioner that I use on my car. It has UV Blockers for SPF 65 Protection. Between that and being garaged, I hope it doesn't fade (much). The sag there isn't much you can do about it (like your wife, LOL)
