good backpack or saddle/messanger bag for communting?

I’ve been riding to work with a typical back pack, and once I get there I’ve got the most disgustingly sweaty back. Someone said their friend had a bag that was raised up some in the back to allow air to flow through. I’m using my road bike so racks are out of the question. What would you suggest?

    spy orange 21, its a backpack but it has a spot for a laptop and padded straps around the waist and a strap across the shoulders. very comfy, and very durable. I use mine for snowboarding and roadbiking.

    Messenger bags are great! Go to chromebags.com and checkout what they have. Real nice! I use one everyday when I ride to work. The citizen. Cool colors too! You can even get a cell phone holster for it or an iPod holster. Holds alot of stuff depending on size. Don’t know about the sweating though. Can’t really help that. Wear coolmax shirts. Might help a little.
