I used a bike rack to hold the ski carrier and it does not "lock" to the bike rack or car so I had to purchase a cable and lock to wrap around things to secure it. I wish Amazon would emphasize that these products take several weeks to receive. EVER. I am 53", 140 lbs. They seemed to work until they failed to hold 45lbs on the right side of my bar that I happened to lean a little to far to the right when placing back on the rack. Theyre great if you dont need this one feature thats advertised. Color just as pictured, great quality. That leaves an extra interior bag, and now that Im used to the sandbag, Im thinking of loading that with 50 more lbs of gravel. Compromise. Nice colour slippers order size 6 wish l order 7 still wearble anyway.
