I was looking today at a bag made by Knog, an Australian company. It had a laptop pocket, a detachable rack mount, and a fully functional set of straps for use as a messenger bag. Has anybody seen or used these. The big problem was the price - $139. Not cheap. I'll have to take a better look at it as my phone rang while I was checking it out and I didn't get to look as closely as I wanted. It was my twin daughters waiting in the car being impatient. I'll have to ride over on my commuter and see how it fits. I was also looking at the Ortlieb bags at the same store and I'm pretty convinced they aren't what I want even if they are considered top quality. PBK carries Ortlieb and has a really good price that the local store couldn't beat, and even at that price I don't think they fit the bill. Pockets are essential, and the space wouldn't keep my clothes in place.

I haven't seen the Arkel bag yet but I do know what local store carries them. I'll have to check that one out as it seems to fit as well.
