For the longesr of time i had the USGI 3day assault pack, the OG mk1 where every part was replaceable. After it was stolen, i baghopped for about a decade until i settled for a Direct Action Dust mk2. It's really hard to find quality stuff, seems even the military gear is prone to planed obsolescence now. But i'm happy with this one. 6 years in and not a seam ia broken.
For longer hikes i have a helicon racoon ripoff: much bigger but also much better seams and sturdier fabric. It doesn't have a brand name and i got it by pure chance so i can't point you to any shop.

Note that the original USGI assault packs are still available on the surplus market, but their pricetag is simply no longer realisitic. But if that doesn't matter to you: that's the absolut unit of an everyday bag.
