I'm looking for various luggage/packs to use with my bike. I need to cover a couple of eventualities and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for brands/options. I don't mind spending a bit or buying piece by piece, I want good quality.
Bike has a Ventura pack rack fitted (currently off, it looks naff). I have a 20L (?) Givi top box, which is currently on the garage floor, propping up a hot water cylinder and stopping it from rolling away... To date I've not had any reason to need to take anything with me on the bike, but commuting without my car is in the very near future (yayyyyy).
First: backpack. Waterproof. To fit lunch, work laptop, change of clothes and shoes, odds and sods, rain suit, for commute to and from work. Would be ideal if it could fit either pants or jacket in it while I was wearing said change of clothes at said place of work, but not essential.
I also need some sort of pack, pannier or luggage type of solution for inter-city travel (about 1.5-2 hours each way). I can take laptop and small things in backpack, so I need to fit clothes for the weekend and any odds and sods (most weeks I end up taking work and personal laptops to and from the big smoke, at the moment I'm carrying at least 3 textbooks as well). I foresee other adventures in the future (ie not just commuting and travelling between home, flat, and work, while lugging my study stuff around).
I'm lusting after a Kriega backpack, is there anything else comparable/better? The Ventura pack-mounted bags are all ugly as sin but I could get over that as I don't have to look at them while I'm riding.

Packs/luggage/bags - what's best?
