I use a rucksack, mostly because packing space on my bike is limited and I don't want to change it.
The alpkit Gourdon is good and cheap although a little flimsy.
I've just got hold of a mountain equipment scrambler 30 which seems pretty good but I've yet to use in anger yet.

Re: The post man's been ...
Mountain hardwear scrambler waterproof rucksack turned up from sportpursuit.
Looks pretty good and feels comfy. Quality looks good too although it certainly seems a lot greyer than the black photos on the website.

Another xtherm here. Don't sleep well if I'm cold so worth every penny. Probably means you can get away with a lighter bag too.

They've been fashionable for long enough the STW n+1 crowd should be starting to move on some barely ridden second hand bargains by now.
