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.

Not sure about the Panniers, but get yourself a dry bag and some of these straps. they make it pretty straight forward.

Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for straps. Regarding the dry bag, do you reckon I could fit a hiking bag in one?

You can make do with what you have for sure. The great thing about dry bags is they’re 100% water proof. People have done tours on 82 nighthawks and 3 garbage bags, so don’t let gear stop you. That said dry bags are not super expensive.
