I am avoiding racks and bags on my SS/FG. So we can omit that option.
I welcome ideas and suggestions.
Do you need waterproof? Mission Workshop are good waterproof bags, lightweight, but pricey. I have the sanctrion and like it a lot.
Some Dueter cycling backpacks are supposed to breath better on your back.
I like the quality of Osprey as well, I have one for work. They have cycling specific packs.
