I use one of these and can recommend. Think they come in smaller sizes too.

It's been excellent so far, and with the packed rain cover, everything is nice and dry inside.

Honestly mate, go with a waterproof liner.
It works better, and let's you have much better bags.
The "waterproof" rucksacks are terrible, and few people use them.
This, They take up little space and are genuinely waterproof and means I can buy whatever rucksack I want.It works better, and let's you have much better bags.

These are bloody good biking backpacks (cycling or motorbiking) not to mention dirt cheap. A chest strap certainly helps keep the bag stable at motorway speeds.

Pricey, but there can be only one. Kriega R30. Note R25 is not waterproof.
In the R25's defence it only leaks when it's proper heavy rain.Sebo said:

I have one of those in white. Recommended.http://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/high-visibility-...
Cheers guys.
I'm on a tight budget to be honest otherwise I'd invest in a bit more of a 'premium' bag. At the moment I have an Oxford 30L bag that I use for commuting and light touring. It's been good - ideal size to put my work clothes, lunch, shoes etc in. But both zips have shat themselves.
This isn't the first time I've been let down by zips on branded products so I've opted for a 'zipless' bag..
Couple of suggestions for those Lomo drybags, they're ideal, unfortunately only Amazon have a couple in stock and they're hi-viz, which I really don't like - the white one would've been ideal.
So I've just ordered this:

Same design, seems to have really good reviews. I only need it to be waterproof for the TT in a couple weeks as there's a chance we could get caught in heavy-ish rain and I don't want my spare clothes and stuff getting soaked.
Otherwise it'll just do as a 'throw everything in' summer commuting bag as for evening / weekend riding I just take my phone and wallet.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll let you know how it is when it arrives.
