Rucksacks with structural/rated haul loop?

Either when taking photos or simply resting I often find myself clipping my rucksack to anchor points. On most of my rucksacks over the years the grab/haul loop seems to be the thing that fails first (usually from just being fully loaded and being hauled into cars etc). Are there any rucksacks out there with some properly structural haul loops that are also good rucksacks in their own right?

35L give or take. Thanks

I have yet to break one despite trying my hardest over more than a decade of being really, really, clumsy. Mostly Osprey and Deuter packs.

That said, a trick that RAF MRT gave me was to thread some 7mm cord through the shoulder straps and then through the grab loop. I used that method for clipping into the winch hook on helicopters.

The Crux AK bags are advertised as having a haul loop. They are sturdy to start with, I imagine they wouldn't call it a haul loop if it couldn't hold up to some abuse.
