What's the most comfortable backpack you've owned that lasts?

heads up i'm not the most travel-savy person out there so id rather ask this question here instead of just watching countless youtube videos recommending me this and that. my use case is hiking, i LOVE being out all day and to keep me organized and until now i've used some old backpack that i got free from work years ago.

anyways i've finally figured it's time to buy an actual backpack that is high quality as the current one has ripped at the seams couple of times and i also dislike how it digs into my shoulders. should i go for something that was released in 2026 or pick something from previous years?
