This net holds my six-pack cooler/lunchbox easily.  The plastic hooks don't mar the paint on my bike and, unlike other reviews on here, have NOT broken yet!  I'm not sure what others have been expecting this net to hold (lead?,bricks?, a dead body?) but, for the money, this is as good a net as you can purchase.  I only have small saddlebags on my small motorcycle, and this more than doubles my carrying capacity.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
