Do the tops secure with velco straps?

No Velcro, think more along the lines of a balloon. The top is just rolled like the mouth of a balloon. They almost never come off though, which is great. I only lost one all winter, and found it after the melt.

No. They are like big, thick balloons. Tops are tight until they stretch out a bit.

Hello,no there are no velcro straps to secure these booties. It relies on the elasticity that comes with the stretchy rubber material that it's made of. Sort of like the resiliency of a balloon. hope this helps.

No. It is like a balloon. They stay on much better than velcro. My dog would kick the velcro boots right off.

I haven't used them and haven't had any problems. As long as the other straps are tight.

Yes. The solid band wraps around the top enclosing the mesh securely. Also, the little 'hook lip' is attached underneath so the top of the band is smooth.

Velcro straps. Works well in conjunction with the Tusk soft top. I have this on 3 RZR's and have not been disappointed.MP

They are attached via a sizable patch of velcro. Strong. Very strong. The velcro and the straps.

They have two straps top and bottom. They are pretty snug too even without tightening the straps

It has attached straps so you can secure it to the rack. It is very secure!

NO, not at all. Mine are still in perfect condition! And I am definitely not careful/delicate with them. The only complain I have is that they tend to ride up off the seat bottom and I have to pull them back down but this is because I can't find a good spot underneath my seat to hook the straps.

The clips have quite a bit of flex and are not designed to resist upwards motion without straps. If you want strapless clips try the Zefal Half Toe Clips.

The Velcro straps go around the top tube, so it will depend on whether your cables are exposed or if you can route the the straps under those cables. I didn't have any cables to worry about on my Fat Bike, however the top tube was fairly larger, but there was enough length in the strap to go around it. Depending on how large your top tube is, you may be able to leave the straps slightly loose, if you think they will interfere with the cables. Note that there is no strap for the down tube, only that single strap for the seat tube.

No they aren't. I pass one loop through the other & put mine in my basket so it isn't a problem, and toss over my bars for short hops. But after initially using an old shoe string (which worked & I'm cheap) I got a small velcro strap for it & have to admit the shoelace & now the strap have proved helpful on occasion. I will say I did look at another cable that had a velcro strap but didn't buy it because of the price & for what I paid for the strap I eventually picked up I still saved and I'm really happy with what I have. But like I said, I'm cheap (my master "u-lock" has to be over 15, maybe 20, years old). No they aren't.

Yes the straps hold both bottom and top of the mat tight to the bag. The straps are also adjustable and have buckles for easy release. The mesh part also collapses so if you don't have the mat in its not flipping all around.

I've never had a problem with them slipping. The Velcro straps can be tightened without being uncomfortable, so it stays in place.

Mine only velcros. It does not have 2 additional straps. Maybe some elses comment?

If they're stretchy or loose, yes it does. I usually just put it on top though because it's easier to adjust the fastenings that way. The central fastener comes undone as you move and you have to tighten it up about twenty time a day. (I'm a larger-sized person)

They are designed to slide and lock into Topeak racks, which have a slot built in to accept the bags. Long story short, unless Novara built the same slots into their racks, you will be frustrated with these panniers without the Topeak rack. Now, you might be able to strap them on somehow, but they're built without the straps that other bags would have.
