Depending on how much you want to spend, I've found GoRuck's products to be absolutely bomb proof in the past, and their GR2 should meet your size requirements https://www.goruck.com/collections/gr2.
There are a could quirks to them though -- they unzip completely open, but are a single storage compartment design. I mention it because it's a design I absolutely love but if you are looking for a lot of interior compartmentalization maybe look elsewhere.
The biggest potential downside (side from cost) is the tacticool styling and the weight (although that weight is due to the durable fabrics). I should also note that I have bought from them several times (for myself, and then for family), but not since COVID and the consequent effects on many businesses profitability. As of when I last bought they were still well-made and we've beaten the heck out of them with no damages.
I think the main benefit to that though is in the main compartment, you can add pouches and make mini compartments yourself. I guess that kinda requires a bit more effort but they are great bags and I'd argue that it's worth it.
What’s your thoughts on the transition to 210D backs and straps? I’m not a big fan myself.
