My 31-litre rack pack was one of my favourite and most versatile bags. Over six years I used it for moto and 4x4 trips in the Sahara, kayaking off Western Australia, cycling in the Himalayas as well as excursions to Sainsburys and the laundrette. I've even used it as a giant bucket for washing clothes in the desert and if full of soft stuff makes a great pillow to sit or lean back on.
On all these trips it takes a beating and rolls up clips down easily and securely whether full or half empty. Holes are easily repaired with AquaSeal or duct tape. Dustproof and waterproof up to the point of submergence, it's a simple, zip-free heavy duty do-it-all, all-weather holdall. In yellow it can get grubby but is easy to wash/wipe down and of course dries fast.
My only complaint is that the hooks on the carrying strap are a bit feeble and can uncurl with a heavy load, but maybe they've improved that now. You can always use the handles.
Sadly the other day I left my trusty old Ort on a bus in Delhi late one night, but will be replacing it just as soon as the need arises.
