Works well. The zipper is waterproof, and therefore quite rigid. Personally, I would like more of a looser zipper, even if I have to compromise on tightness. Comes with a stand that attaches to the cockpit. Removing the bag is very handy, you have to sift through the attachment to get it in place. If you would occasionally want to use the basket with a magazine, the stand may interfere with the attachment of the basket, and the removal of the stand is in no way designed to be handy (four screws). Ortlieb offers a separate basket adapter for use with this stand: https://www.ortlieb.com/en/Adapter%20for%20a%20Bicycle%20Basket%20(rear)/ It should be mentioned in the product description that the official maximum width of Taraka is 14 cm. The bag holder is such that it protrudes from it, which must fit around the Taraka. I myself have a slightly wider cockroach, and the rack had to be twisted a bit and forced into place, but the end result is good and sturdy. Now I noticed that there is also a wider version (18.5 cm) of the part that comes around Taraka in Ortlieb's spare parts list: https://www.ortlieb.com/en/e199/
