    Don't know if it's what you're looking for - but I have and love the Arkel Tail Rider....I can't remember of the shoulder strap comes with it or is purchased separately, but I do have it.

    I have this one by Detours. http://detours.us/store/rack-bags/

    It has a shoulder strap, and also seems to be kind of insulated. I rode with ice cream recently, and it stayed frozen. I use this bag the most for commuting. It's a great size, yet unnoticeable when riding; attaches quickly and securely with velcro. I've fit a whole cake in it. I did find the strap too long, so I cut and shortened it.

    If you are an adventurer you might like these frame bags made by Revelate designs. It's tailored made for your bike, has waterproof zippers, it's lightweight, durable, and best of all, made in the USA. I have both the Tangle and Gas Tank on my bike.

    I also have an Axiom Laurentian trunk bag that is really neat. The main compartment will keep your food hot or cold, there several external pockets, bungee on top, velcro straps to secure it well, reflective tape, it's waterproof and it comes with a shoulder strap.

    Really wanted the Arkel, adored the Po Campo, but both seemed a bit pricey. Went with the Toba Terry (nice price, and fairly stylish -- the blue matches my bike ). I'll post back to let y'all know how well it handles the daily use and abuse I'll be dishing out.

    I've only had it a couple of days, but I'm really liking this little bag. Plenty of room inside (it has a divider that you can position wherever you want; I have it folded out of the way because my u-lock takes up too much space). The side pockets can hold one or two small items, or you can unfold the inner liner and -- voila! -- you've got two small panniers. Has a clip for a rear flasher. Easy on/off with the sturdy velcro straps. And it matches my bike!
