You can't go wrong with a Billingham. It is really too bad they stopped making the backpack, though.
I would love to have one of the backpacks they used to make, as I cannot carry much weight (or carry a lighter load for long) in a satchel type camera bag these days. My right shoulder fell victim to that dread condition known as Photographer's Shoulder.
As a long time Billingham user, I certainly wish they would bring back several products, The Coat, and Backpack are at the top of my list.
However since they are in no hurry, I found that Filson now makes two photo Backpacks.

Oh, I have had my Billingham Hadley Pro for about 6 years, and it seems to get better with age (less formal, if you will).
