I already have the rack that is rated to hold the weight, and I don't feel comfortable just strapping a cargo net over it since I'll be transporting my laptop in the backpack as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That is pretty big....so I will repeat my recommendation for the wald folding......you can then lay that big backpack across the rack and support the ends with the baskets. I have done this with bags of potting soil. Also that much weight you want to keep as low as you can to keep the center of gravity low.
