Gotta second this recommendation. Got one for my birthday and love it. Fits nicely on the rack and looks nice and compact, but expands to add quite a bit of space. Wouldn't do a big tour with it, but for running everyday errands, it's great. Not too heavy, either. Here's what it looks like on my bike without the side panniers in use. They fold out and in easily, by the way.
