For years now I've used the Kriega soft luggage system. I have 3 bags on the tail of the bike (totalling 40 litres, but it can be up to 70 litres), a 5 to 20 litre tank bag and a 15 litre rucksack for water and my laptop. I leave this on the bike always. All through Europe, all around the UK. No issues so far.
Not only is it waterproof, very easy to unpack and versatile (as all the bags can easily be swapped for different sizes) but it looks too complex to steal. It's all strapped to the subframe and easy to release if you know how, but it looks complex and can't just be lifted off. The rucksack is just left on the seat usually though and since I'm within sight of the bike at all times, no one has even had a look.
