Tested this recently on a trip requiring airport, to train, to rainy street and up and down hills. This worked better than any travel in the last year. Bought a second for DH when I got home, and my friend who helped with my luggage bought one for himself as well. I did not have difficulty getting the wrap on and off, though it is plenty strong enough to hold its intended nice and snug. I appreciate the design because it will accommodate bags needing to be wrapped from either direction.
