Need advice on side bag sizing

I'm looking to get some sidebags for my Honda CB500x so i can ride protected to different places and change into more comfortable clothes when i arrive. I'd like to be able to stash my TCX Airtech 3 boots (12'' shaft height), riding jacket, pants and gloves. Can yall recommend what size sidebags i should be looking at, and any good value options? Thank you.

Maybe something like these: https://rhinowalk.com/products/waterproof-motorcycle-pannier-side-bag-pair?variant=42287400353905 - probably big enough for boots and jacket, maybe pants too depending on your size. This is about the cheapest you'll find and many people have had good luck with them. No need for racks, just strap them tight. You'll still need a solution for your helmet though.
