Got the US20 for Christmas and it's bloody fantastic.... Have to tie it down tight but it's solid - doesn't overhang the standard seat and if it's fully laden (as was this morning with 6 bottles of whiskey from the weekend's whiskey live show mmmmm) it gives the small of your back a nice little cushion
I regularly take gym kit, trainers, towel etc. all fine - with room to spare (including my rather large packed lunch!)... Been using it in all weathers and never had it leak - fantastic design having the separate sealed 'wet bag' idea.
Plenty of space under the pillion seat for the straps - I run the rear strap in the rear indentation in the rear-third of the 'hole under the seat', and the front strap just to the rear of the locking mechanism.
Absolutely top-class storage.

More than - done a weekend tour and can fit everything I needed in, as well as 6 bottles of Erdinger

How easy is it to get on the bike? Is a real fiddle to get on and off or is it quick and simple?

Very easy - even with numb fingers. I tend to leave the straps where they are during the week, though, as I use it every day for work - but when they are removed (e.g. when I take t' missus for a ride) it's a 10-second job.
