I've got an Altura rack bags that uses the landing strip thingy and
it's really good for quick loading and removal. The landing strip is
a bit fiddly to attach to the rack with a couple of big velcro straps
that go underneath the rack plate, but once you've got it on it can
stay on. You then just dump the bag on top and do up three clips. To
remove, undo the clips and peel the bag off, there's velcro between
the bag and the landing strip but that just helps to hold the bag from
sliding around and isn't another thing to do up or undo. If you don't
want to use the bag you can still bungee stuff onto the rack without
removing the landing strip. If the fold-down panniers on the bag
(assuming you've got that type) aren't big enough you can still fix
regular panniers on the sides while using the bag.
