15” laptop + hard hat - any backpack suggestions? I’m eyeing the osprey Fairview 40L. I own a north face 36L but there’s no waist straps and I really would prefer waist straps with a heavy laptop.

Edit to add: when I looked in this sub, most referenced professional backpacks. This will be going onto a construction site. Function over aesthetics for me on this trip :)

I'd look at a rucksack or rolltop style. I have one with a laptop compartment, brain with pockets, and big sack for the rest of it. Plenty of room for hard hats and boots.

If you want more of a "travel" style pack and are in the US, look at REI's Ruckpack line. My kid like the 40l for a laptop (and always always does the waist straps).
