Lone peak also makes one, but this one by Arkel is a lot more comfortable http://www.arkel-od.com/us/bug-cummuting-bag.html Rob, this is the best backpack/pannier I have ever used.

I suppose I could rig something myself, but was hoping for an easier off the shelf solution. Ideas? Anything creative you've seen others do?

I've actually already produced an article that shows where I recommend placing your items inside your panniers, etc. The article contains a video and a diagram.

It'd be nice if you had a diagram or explain exactly what gear you put into each pannier, just for reference for newbies. i.e. which pannier do you put food, spare clothes, etc. It's also worth mentioning that if you tend to get on/off your bike on the left side, (and.or park it leaning on its right side), that you should pack items more frequently used on the left side. Also general rule is 60% of gear/weight in back; 40% in front. Good post.
