Any Backpack or Travel Bag Suggestions?

Well we have two Strykers, but neither of us wants to add saddlebags. My wife has a solo seat and I don't have or want a sissybar. So...does anyone have any good suggestions for some type of backpack that would be good for a weekend trip?

If I could find a quick detach saddlebag without any type of distracting side brackets I wouldn't be opposed. I would rather just put them on for a trip.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Be careful boys, There are a few women on this forum now you know.

I have just got some throwover saddlebags that will be attached individually on each side as the throwover straps weren't long enough. I have also a large roll top bag that can be strapped to my back seat. Doesn't help with a solo seat though unless you buy a fender luggage rack. Carrying a backpack is not an option for me unless it is a bladderpack. My journeys are too long and it would give me back ache. Definitely wouldn't enjoy riding my bike with all my luggage on my back.
Let the bike take the strain.

Or just put it all on the hubby's bike ;D

I have to agree Jan. Put it all on the hubby's bike. ;) Actually, I have taken a small backpack when needed. But I carry the bare minimum. Usually, just my cell phone and anything that will fit in my small pouch on the front of my bike.
