My current setup:
- Military spec Camelback rucksack. It has a water bladder but I don't use it.
- Inside:
- - Track sack (see above)
- - Shoes, kit, extra clothes if needed (arm warmers, skull cap, etc...)
- - 2 water bottles (Gatorade, Water)
- - Canister of Gatorade powder.
- - Heart rate monitor
- - 1 or 2 helmets can clip on to the D-rings attached to the outside (normal helmet, Casco case)
- - A camping chair can be attached
- - Random stuff
All of this fits on my back. I can also put a double wheel bag on my shoulder after mounting the backpack. This leaves my hands free to handle the bike with one hand and hold rollers with the other.

I don't carry all of that every time I go to the track. But it's not uncommon to have that much on a big race day. The key is the backpack as a firm foundation. It's designed to hold a lot of weight without sagging or stretching.
Mine is similar to these but black. Mine is still sort of different. It's a few years old. Note the big side pockets. Each one can hold a huge Nalgene bottle. I took off the drinking hose
