Ortlieb?

Ortlieb Messenger is 30L, and that's big enough to be awkward. Pro is the same bag but with a transparent layer facing out for branding/maps, and all the internal accessories are included.

North Face Duffel (XS = 33L, S=50L) could work, indestructible and comfortable enough for a short ride. By no means any use for longer rides, but they're great bags and I have several. Mountain Warehouse do a version that's half the price, but the shoulder straps aren't as comfy.
At 40L you're really looking at panniers or a full on hiking bag (these often interfere with your helmet as they come up quite high). -
Are you sure you really need 40 litre plus, you can fit a lot of stuff in a 30 litre rucksack. 40 litres is big enough for a week's holiday.

What's the best large (40 litre plus) backpack to get for short distance riding?
I've got a a load of gym kit to carry about and am struggling to fit it in my chrome messenger.
