They're pricy but they offer lifetime warranty and have ton of exterior pockets meant for camera gear, but you can adapt accordingly. | good call for looking into camer bags but i find they all lack a water bottle pocket.
i spent the whole day deep diving into backpacks and ive narrowed it down to the thule all trail or the yeti ranchero

The Cotopaxi bags seem to get great reviews but I can't get over their garish colours. They do seem super practical and usable in the city and for travel.
I'm using a cheapass 40L bag of Amazon since I don't need it more than once a year anymore but I needed a frequent use 40L bag I'd probably go with the Cole-Haan 72 hour backpack ( https://www.colehaan.com/72-hour-backpack/F12316.html). It's not the most practical but it's well built and I think it's a pretty attractive bag. The outlet store sometimes has it for 50%.

ya those alpaca packs are ugly, but they do come in black. the cole haan are too stylish and not enough practicality for me, not even at 50% off.

Nothing is stylish about a backpack, a grown man shouldn’t be wearing one outside of traveling or school

Having said that, I only wesr it while on vacation or when I'm out because of kids. Water bottles, hand wipes and other shit. Sometimes it'll be some sort of man purse for kids stuff but I absolutely hate it too.

Up until I couple years ago I was committed to my Porter messenger bag for commuting, but it did a number on my shoulder. Switched to a Timbuk2 and it changed my life lol.

If I like the product, I'll use it.
That being said, I wouldn't mind looking into a water resistant/water proof backpack that is travel friendly.
