Alright - so my 20 year old EMS backpack from college is finally giving up the ghost (inner liner delaminating, straps frayed, etc...).
I need a few daypack recommendations. I'm a tall skinny dude, and I frequently do day hikes with my family, the cub/boy scouts, and by myself; it would also be accompanying me hunting - so it'd need to be large enough to fit my back/torso, hold lunch, some clothing, a few odds and ends, and a small camera...but not haul around the entire workshop. I'd prefer to avoid the overly tactical tommy look if I can - and I want something with a Camelback or similar water reservoir integrated into it. I need some real life experience on the hydration reservoirs too (ie. cleaning, use, etc). Not to be overly gross, but I also sweat a ton - its relevant since I've soaked through non-waterproof packs - so something waterproof and/or with a breathable back pad is key too.
I'd rather spend a little more and get one that'll last me another 10-15 years, than spend $25 and get a cheapo.
Here are a few I'm looking at so far:

Any advice from the field?
