I purchased a very similar product from Van Essentials. I quickly realized that L-track was Overkill and quite costly for the installation that I wanted to achieve. I used some Cam Buckle tie-down straps to mount my cabinet. A set of four straps cost me $10 from Harbor freight. I hooked the straps to the holes in my ceiling crossmember on a Ford Transit cargo van. I used one strap to go around the center of the unit and two more straps perpendicular to the center strap. I can remove it very quickly and there's no other Hardware needed. L-track would have required me to make mounting brackets for the track and probably either drill holes or place rivet nuts in the sheet metal it would have taken a lot of time and money to procure and install all this material. Luckily I found some perfect hardpoints to attach to and I can put the system in and out very quickly. Of course one must be skilled and understand some engineering objectives, such as making sure the system is securely attached to prevent injury injury during a vehicle crash.
I want to keep the weight to the absolute minimum and am looking at these bags. Thank you for the review it is very helpful!
Great equipment, greetings from the Netherlands
Do any of your bags easily detach from the L track? With a shoulder strap? Thanks
I would love if these could attach under the MOAB
Can these be hung without using L-TRACK?
L-Track is ideal for versatility, but you can mount them using the six holes any way you see fit.

whats the weight rating of both sizes of bags?
There's no official weight rating, but we generally recommend no more than 50lbs to ensure the bags retain their form.
