Default Which windshield pouch set?

I'm needing to purchase a windshield pouch set for me 2010 SG before a trip that I will be taking in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering which one I should get. I've got it narrowed down to a T-Bags Windshield Bag 4 or a Boss Bags #43 or #23. I've seen a lot of reviews on the T-Bags pouch set, but not too much on the Boss Bags. I'm running a 6" windshield, so I think any of these will work. Any opinions?

I had the Boss triple pouch and loved it. It is well made and held up very well. Unfortunately I had to sell it because I decided to go with a fairing mount for my GPS.

I ended up buying a single pouch from another source, and was disappointed. Definitely not the same quality as Boss.

I like the T-bags triple pouch. Fits contours of the fairing.

Check how it looks from the front of the bike, looking through the windshield. The T-Bags have a backing that mostly matches the contour of the windshield, hiding the bags. Many others (including Harley's) look like a couple of bags hanging on the inside of your windshield.

Says on their website that these won't be out until August. Don't really care for the look of these anyways.

Looking at the Boss Bags website it looks like their flaps don't provide as much closure as the T-Bags flaps do. Can anyone comment on that?

Surely someone can comment on the closure flaps on the Boss Bags. Will they close tight enough to keep large amounts of dust and debris from getting all over your stuff?
