I am avoiding racks and bags on my SS/FG. So we can omit that option.
I welcome ideas and suggestions.
Did you ever mention a budget for said backpack? I ask because I'm a backpack connoisseur. I have so many different types. You tell me your budget and I can point you in the right direction based on what you mentioned using it for.
