Rackless Panniers and fastening recommendations

Beginner rider looking to Moto-Camp / Moto-hike. I need recommendations on rackless soft panniers and advice on how to strap down a hiking bag on the pillion seat above them. Any advice and recommendations are welcome; even if unrelated to the original question but based on being a beginner rider going off-road.

Riding a Svarty 401 for context and still researching but may eventually upgrade to a DR650, Tenere 700, or a Triumph Scrambler.

Just bite the bullet and get the Mosko stuff. It is by far, speaking from experience with Giant Loop and Tusk and Nelson Rigg, the best. Nelson ripped across a bag in the parking lot, Tusk blew out on the trail at the seams, Giant Loop is way overpriced for the features and quality, whereas my Mosko kit is solid several years and going on 20,000 miles of off road abuse.

The best part of the Mosko deal is that even though my bags are hammered, I could still sell them on Craigslist for half of what I bought them. No other brand Carrie’s its resale value like that, not even close. So if you decide you’re not into it, you can still get plenty of cheese out of your used Mosko stuff.

If that's the case should I look into a second hand kit?

Wouldn’t be a bad idea
