I want to get a commuter bag.
I need to be able to carry a laptop and a few other bits and bobs on a 10mile commute. I have used a basic rucksack in the past, but find it gives me lower back ache.
What's good?

For Rucksack-age, I find Deuter's range works for me....
..... how about panniers though, if you're having back issues?
True panniers would be a good idea but I use my cross bike for the commute and don't want to have to faff taking them off when I use it for leisure stuff.
I will check out Deuter, I forgot about them, ta.
I'm biased, as I use to work there, but I really liked Edinburgh Bicycle Coop's Revolution Stow series. Made by Vaude with the arched back system throughout. I had the biggest one for years as my daily commute bag and weekends away bag and all rides bag, but I downsized to the waterproof Trail model when it was released. It's big enough to carry my 15" MacBookPro and a change of clothes (not shoes) lunch and bits and bobs for the bike.
The waterproofness of it was the main reason I got it. The other models have a orange or yellow waterproof cover included.
